Waterjet

What is an abrasive water jet or hydrojet cutting machine system?
Abrasive jet and water only jet cutter use the technology of high pressure water typically between 30,000 and 60,000 psi, to create extremely concentrated force to cut stuff. A water cutter pressurizes a stream of pure water flow (without abrasive) to cut materials such as foam, rubber, plastic, cloth, carpet
and wood. Abrasive jet cutters mix abrasive garnet to a pressurized water stream to cut harder materials. Examples are: stainless steel, titanium, glass, ceramic tile, marble and granite. Waterjet metal cutting machine yields very little heat therefore no heat affected zone (HAZ), and hence in most cases will not require further heat treatment. Water jet machining is also considered as a "cold cut" process and therefore is safe for cutting flammable materials such as plastic and polymers. With a reasonable cutting speed setting, the edges resulted are often of satisfactory. Precision water jet cutter is a very handy and versatile cutting equipment with affordable price for stone cutting and metal working in job shops. Sometimes the system is referred as a water cut center
