Garnet is a natural and very hard abrasive used for cutting with a high-pressure water jet. Cutting in a water jet with garnet abrasives is characterized by extremely high efficiency, accuracy, cutting speed, smooth cutting seam without thermal effect on the product. Water jet cutting can be used to cut metal, stone, glass, ceramic, plastic, rubber, etc.
