But, what kind of water jet cutter is an affordable water jet cutter? What need I deeply think though before I buy a water […]
Advantages of Abrasive Water Jet
Advantages of AWJ In the early 1980s, AWJ machining was considered as an impractical application. Today, state-of-the art abrasive jet technology has grown into a full-scale production process with precise, consistent results. There is a similarity between wire EDM and AWJ machining. Both cut complex contours with a kerf. The diameter of the jet is […]
Waterjet Control
As waterjet cutting moved into traditional manufacturing shops, controlling the cutter reliably and accurately was essential. Early waterjet cutting systems adapted traditional systems such as mechanical pantographs and CNC systems based on John Parsons’ 1952 NC milling machine and running G-code. Challenges inherent to waterjet technology revealed the inadequacies of traditional G-Code, as accuracy depends […]
How to Use Waterjet
The cutter is commonly connected to a high-pressure water pump (a local water main does not supply sufficient pressure) where the water is then ejected out of the nozzle, cutting through the material by bombarding it with the stream of high-speed water. Additives in the form of suspended grit or other abrasives, such as garnet […]

Why are the cutters made under water, and can I cut above water if I like?
Cutting under water is typically used to reduce the noise and splash and to eliminate airborne dust. However cuts can be made above water if desired, with no loss in performance. more information about underwater cutting. article from: http://waterjetapw.com waterjet http://waterjetapw.com
