Water jet cutting machine also cuts hard materials, such as metal, stone, glass, or ceramics. For this, the water jet must be mixed with a cutting medium (abrasive) – for example, garnet sand. This procedure uses the abrasive jet as the separating device. The water jet serves to speed up the abrasive particles.
