Milling can be done with the workpiece submerged in water to reduce noise and contain debris. Submerged machining often results in narrower channels due to the surrounding fluid affecting the jet's expansion.

The small jet size allows for omnidirectional cutting and intricate patterns with radii as small as 0.1 mm. Milling can be done with the workpiece submerged
The mechanical erosion process leaves a clean surface without the recast layers often found in wire EDM or laser cutting. Key Technical Insights MICRO-CHANNEL MILLING USING ABRASIVE WATERJETS ...
