Nowadays, the main task of a locksmith is cold metal processing – manually or with the use of power tools. The scope of work of a locksmith includes small parts of mechanisms, minor machining and manual processing of steel, stainless steel and aluminum surfaces.
A locksmith is treated as a welder’s assistant, because he is very often responsible for preparing materials for welding and their subsequent processing in order to apply protective coatings.
The very wide range of skills that a locksmith must have include everything related to mechanics (assembly and disassembly of devices), cutting, sawing, drilling, riveting, soldering and skills in the field of electrical engineering and hydraulics. Also metal science is a very important field of knowledge that a locksmith must acquire – testing the hardness, strength, elasticity, impact strength, plasticity and other basic characteristics of metals is the knowledge necessary for the proper performance of locksmith’s profession.

Waterjet cutting - what is it?
Water jet cutting is a process that involves the use of a concentrated high-pressure energy carrier. Its characteristic feature is that it does not use high temperatures, which is particularly important when processing materials that are sensitive to them, such as glass or ceramics. This is a very precise method that allows cutting with an accuracy of up to 0.1 mm. It is also distinguished by the ability to process thicker materials than other methods, up to 460 mm (in the case of non-metallic materials).
Principles of waterjet cutting
Waterjet cutting uses a high-pressure water jet that can reach a speed of up to 340 m/s. This process can also use CNC technology, which is particularly useful in the processing of brittle materials. It allows you to adjust the pressure to ensure that the material does not break or crumble. Thanks to the use of various tips, cutting accuracy of up to 0.1 mm can be achieved, which can be further narrowed using the latest equipment. This allows to obtain elements with one of the highest possible precision.
Application of waterjet cutting
Water jet cutting is a unique process that allows for wider applications than laser cutting or plasma cutting. Due to the lack of heat influence, it can be used not only for cutting metals, but also brittle materials, such as glass or ceramics. It allows the processing of materials thicker than laser or plasma, up to approx. 150 mm in the case of metals, which is similar to mechanized plasma cutting, but in the case of other materials, such as glass or ceramics, it is up to 460 mm. Water cutting is widely used in various industries, such as the food industry, where processing with its help prevents contamination. Other applications include automotive, construction, aviation, furniture, ceramics and many others.
Advantages of waterjet cutting
Waterjet cutting has many advantages that distinguish it from other processing methods. These include:
- No temperature influence - Water cutting does not use temperature for processing, but high pressure, which minimizes deformations of the processed material.
- Wide application - This method allows for processing metals such as steel, aluminum, copper or bronze, but also brittle materials that cannot be cut using other methods, such as glass or ceramics.
- Material thickness - Enables the processing of materials up to 460 mm in the case of non-metal materials and 150 mm in the case of metal materials. This makes it possible to cut even several of them at the same time.
- Precision - Thanks to the use of state-of-the-art machines, it allows for a precision of less than 0.1 mm, which ensures obtaining an element with highly specified parameters.
- Ecological issues - It does not cause dusting and uses water that can be used in a closed circuit several times without affecting the quality.
- High quality - Thanks to the high precision and repeatability of waterjet, high-quality cutting edges with precisely defined parameters are obtained.
Factors influencing waterjet cutting
Waterjet cutting is influenced by several factors, which will determine the selection of specific parameters and the quality of processing. These include:
- Abrasive material - The use and selection of abrasive material will influence what materials can be processed and with what accuracy. With the help of a garnet, we will cut a wider range of materials, but with less precision.
- Cutting head - Choosing a modern cutting head allows for greater cutting accuracy.
- Processed material - This is crucial when choosing cutting parameters, such as the use of abrasive material, a specific tool and many others.
- Order parameters - The parameters of a specific project are the most important in selecting appropriate tools, technology and the processing method itself. The choice of cutting technique will depend on the production volume and the desired final effect.
- Machine operator skills - Although automated machines are often used in this process, even in such a case, the selection of their appropriate parameters as well as appropriate corrections (e.g. pressure) will allow for better results.
Frequently asked questions
What is waterjet cutting?
Water jet cutting is a process involving the use of a concentrated energy carrier (water jet) under high pressure. Thanks to this, it is possible to cut with a precision of up to 0.1 mm.
What are the main advantages of waterjet?
The main advantages of waterjet include high precision, the ability to cut thick materials (up to 460 mm) and eco-friendliness (use of water in a closed circuit).
What are the differences between waterjet cutting, plasma cutting and laser cutting?
The main difference between waterjet cutting compared to laser and plasma cutting is the effect of heat on the processed material. Waterjet does not use high temperatures, which makes it possible to cut brittle materials.
How much does a waterjet cost?
The cost of a waterjet will depend on the specific parameters of the project. Once we know all the details, we will present a cost estimate and an action plan.
What pressure is used in the water cutting process?
Water cutting uses a pressure of 4,000 bar, which is released through a small diameter nozzle. This allows for precise machining parameters.
