What cannot be cut by a waterjet?
There are some things that a waterjet cannot cut, including things like diamonds and tempered glass. Most commonly, waterjets are used to cut things like tiles, ceramic, and non-tempered glass. Waterjets are a great tool that can make it easy to cut materials that might not be easily cut with more rigid tools. Waterjets are able to cut hard materials by pressurizing water to ultra-high pressures and creating a powerful cutting stream (up to 6000 bars). The stream moves at a velocity of up to 3 times the speed of sound.Pure Waterjet Handles soft materials that can be cut with a knife: gasket, foam, and plastic. Abrasive Waterjet Handles tougher materials: metals, glass, stone, and composite. Switch between Pure and Abrasive with a simple two minute head conversion.
