Abrasive jet and water only jet cutter uses the technology of high pressure water typically between 30,000 and 90,000 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.
