About Water Jet Cutting (Hydrodynamic Machining) Process

  Manufacturing Knowledge Menu
Water Jet Cutting Services

Water jet Cutting uses a high velocity narrow jet of a liquid (water) to cut materials. The jet of liquid velocity is about 2000 ft/sec. Material is eroded from the work piece at the impact location of the liquid jet. The liquid pressure at the impact area is approximately 60,000 psi. Typical cut path removal is approximately .002” to .040” wide. One can cut virtually any 2D shape with CNC control directing the water jet location.
