GARNET SAND FOR WATERJET CUTTING MACHINES
 
Abrasive Type - I
 
  Water Jet Cutting uses high pressure water to cut softer material like rubber and abrasive jets adds abrasive to water to cut harder material like steel, glass and titanium. The high-pressure water is forced through a tiny area to cut
