Is Waterjet Cutting and Abrasive Waterjet Cutting The Same? 

No – not really, but through some simple research we have ascertained that the common laymen’s terminology for abrasive waterjet cutting has been truncated to “waterjet” cutting. Pure water only waterjet systems are very capable of cutting operations without abrasive….but…..they are extremely limited to what they can actually process. Abrasives are added to the waterjet systems to enhance the ability to process much harder, much more dense materials such as metals, ceramics, super alloys, granite, the list goes on and on………virtually any material.
