@pooh1234567890 if hes paying 100 grand for it I'm sure its computer controlled there isn't many waterjet or plasma cutting tables that aren't computer controlled
@Ivarsday I have never run a cost analysis for any of my little projects. Most of these machines pay for themselves withing a few years if they are in the manufacturing industry, or mass production. However, this little guy only does small, one-of-a-kind projects. :-)
That's just awesome!!!

Do dentists use something similar or not?
Squarerig 3 weeks ago
@Squarerig No. Dentists will not use anything this powerful!
No offense, but your comment made me laugh :-)

Thanks for all the views and posts.
To answer a few questions:
- The water jet machine is made by WardJet and costs around $100,000.
- The pumps do all the work; 48K is a lot of pressure!
- The steel is virtually unaffected by the water jet.
- The wire mesh below the material does get cut away, slowly; we have to replace it every couple of years.

How do you get the water up to 48K psi?

Wow that's a cool machine. How do you see what you're cutting with all the water sloshing around? Is it computer controlled?

@pooh1234567890 Ludacrisjr7 is right. It is a CNC machine; Computer Numerical Control

What is the alloy of that blade? L-6 or 5160 maybe?

@thewelderdude I do not know. Most of the labeling had worn off when I got the blade.

Does this effect the quality of the steel in any way? And where do you get such a machine?

@jalobeaulieu1 The quality of the steel is not effected. (Perhaps some oxide build up due to the moisture).
Contact WardJet to buy one.

How come the water doesn't cut through the mesh table that the workpiece is on?

Yeah, the water cutter must make it a lot easier. I use an angle grinder. :)
