The term abrasive jet refers specifically to the use of a mixture of water and an abrasive to cut hard materials such as metal, stone or glass, while the terms pure waterjet and water-only cutting refer to waterjet cutting without the use of added abrasives, often used for softer materials such as wood or rubber.

Water jet may refer to: A jet of water under pressure, like in an ornamental fountain or drain cleaner; Pump-jet, a marine propulsion mechanism for jetskis and other types of boats; Water jet cutter, a tool for cutting and the machining of engineering materials; Water-jet printer, a printer that makes use of water instead of ink; Dental water ...
Robotic Hydrodemolition in Folkestone, UK. Hydrodemolition of concrete exposing the rebar.. Hydrodemolition (also known as hydro demolition, hydroblasting, hydro blasting, hydromilling, waterblasting, and waterjetting) is a concrete removal technique which utilizes high-pressure water, often containing an abrasive material, to remove deteriorated and sound concrete as well as asphalt and grout.
Hashish joined Flow Research Inc., now Flow International Corporation in Kent, Washington, U.S., as a research scientist, in early 1979.Although Flow was involved in waterjet cutting, mainly for mining and limited factory applications, it wasn't until Hashish invented a new technique to add abrasives to the waterjet that the strongest cutting tool in the world was realized.

The Coast Guard's newer cutters, the National Security Cutter, Sentinel-class cutter, and the smaller Marine Protector-class cutter are designed with a stern launching ramp. Stern launching ramps permit the cutters to deploy and retrieve water-jet propelled boats, without first coming to a stop.
A 5-axis water jet cutter and a part manufactured with it. Multiaxis machining is a manufacturing process that involves tools that move in 4 or more directions and are used to manufacture parts out of metal or other materials by milling away excess material, by water jet cutting or by laser cutting. This type of machining was originally ...
The pressurized water acting as a cutting jet can be re-used, with adequate filtering, creating a closed water circuit. [ citation needed ] However, the majority of users do not re-use the water. If more widely used, CryoJet may produce a drastic reduction in the amount of abrasive waste spill currently produced during the water jet cutting ...
