CNC Water Jet
CNC Water Jet cutting is one way of cutting metals, glass or fabric. It is actually an abrasive cutting process where the cutting happens by eroding the material away. A stream of high-pressure water is focused on the material to make the cut. This jet is positioned and moved using CNC. An abrasive mixture is added to this high-pressure stream of water. The abrasive in the water jet does most of the cutting of the material.
I have found CNC Water Jet cutting to be an interesting
process. As soon as you are done you
need to dry or protect the recently cut edges.
These edges will rust quickly in not handled properly. Before welding these edges usually need to be
ground to prevent porosity in the weld.
