Abrasive Waterjet Cutting is the BEST alternative machining process available today. It’s uses stretch across a broad variety of Industry. Waterjet cutting is an accelerated erosion process. Ultra-High Pressurized water focused into a high velocity stream and forced through a minute opening. The waterjet can cut or erode through most materials, making it one of the most versatile machines. The Materials a waterjet can cut are described in two groups, water-only and water and abrasive.
