Waterjet cutting involves pressurizing water up to
60,000 pounds per square inch (psi) which then moves through a precision orifice
as small as 0.0003 inch in diameter. Traveling at more than two-and-a-half
times the speed of sound, the water quickly and precisely cuts soft and thin
materials. To cut hard or thick materials, a patented abrasive entrains a
garnet abrasive in the jet stream to cut virtually any material up to 8 inches
thick.
