Water jet cutting is an effective way to make precise incisions. This method uses water that’s mixed with abrasives and shoots it in a narrow, high-velocity stream to cleanly slice through almost any material. Here’s a breakdown of different applications for this method.

Uses for Water Jet Cutting

1. Glass Cutting

Glass is a popular material that’s used in several industries, such as home design and auto, and water jet cutting provides a faster cutting and turnaround time. This technique has also become known for creating precise and clean edges, so manufacturers and consumers of glass products won’t have to worry about problematic angles or sharp lines. It can also customize the material, creating patterns on the glass surface.

2. Stone & Tile Cutting

Shaping and cutting stone and tile used to be expensive, slow endeavors; however, water jet cutting expedites the process as the liquid can easily slice sturdy materials. Due to this operational efficiency, tile suppliers can lower product costs, while easily creating engravings, lines, or patterns to beautify the surface.

3. Food Slicing

Water jet cutting also cuts whole vegetables into sliced pieces. This method creates even portions, making it easy to package equal amounts of produce. Most importantly, the water’s purity eliminates the contamination that comes from using metal blades. In an industry were margins can be low, the speed of the water jet also creates additional savings.
