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
In comparison to other cutting technologies such as plasma cutting or laser cutting, the traditional water jet cutter technology produces extra waste material (in addition to the kerf material itself). [2] Above all, the use of mineral abrasives for improving the performance of the cutting jet is increasingly becoming a problem.

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 ...
