Small jets of water spray can cut off steel

A technology company in the United States introduced the first hydraulic table breaker, spraying high-pressure water jet to cut everything, including steel.

Wazer's Pennsylvania-based start-up company has created a compact, compact Wazer hydraulic cutting machine that can cut hard materials such as steel and steel, according to Engadget.

This cutting machine uses high pressure water jet, or a mixture of water and grit to cut metal and other materials. The principle of this process is similar to the phenomenon of water erosion in nature but faster and more concentrated.

Hydraulic breakers can be used for shaping, punching, drilling, engraving in a wide variety of industrial fields from mining to aerospace. It can cut steel, concrete, stone, or other hard objects.

Nisan Lerea, Wazer's chief executive, said the machine could cut 1-4mm thick steel, smoothing jagged lines on many other hard materials such as glass and brick.

"We provide solutions that can be used anywhere with any material," Lerea said. Wazer will begin mass production of hydraulic breakers by 2017.
