Waterjets cut with a supersonic stream of water that is so powerful it can cut through materials in one pass without shredding or crushing them. The Jet Edge water jet is created by pressurizing water up to 90,000 psi (6,200 bar) with a Jet Edge waterjet intensifier pump. The waterjet cutting action takes place as a result of the ultra-high pressure (UHP) water being forced through a pre-mounted orifice as small as .005 inches. In many applications, an abrasive material such as garnet is added to the waterjet to create an abrasive waterjet (also known as an abrasivejet) that can cut cleanly through virtually any material.
