A water jet cutter also known as a water jet or waterjet is an industrial tool capable of cutting a wide variety of materials using a very high pressure jet of water or a mixture of water and an abrasive substance. As for their processing tolerance it is of approximately 0 002 0 05 mm for laser cutting and 0 008 0 2 mm for water jet cutting.

Some materials are sensitive to high temperatures caused by plasma or laser cutting machines. The cutting path of a laser is much thinner than a water jet which can be a benefit when cutting tight geometry on small parts or when components need to be nested close together. To increase cutting ability abrasives such as garnets and aluminum oxide are often added. A pure water jet machine can cut soft wooden or rubber materials.
