User comments about this story
Water jet cutting is a process used to cut materials using a jet of pressurized water as high 60,000 pounds per square inch (psi). Often, the water is mixed with an abrasive like garnet that enables more materials to be cut cleanly to close tolerances, squarely and with a good edge finish. Water jets are capable of cutting many industrial materials including stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, tool steel, ceramics, granite, and armor plate. This process generates significant noise.
