Water is still an important ingredient in the cutting process. However, instead of water acting as the cutting agent, it now serves as a means to carry the abrasive material, in this case sand, past the metal being cut. A lot of water is used in this process, but not just any water. At Wicked Image, a 500-gallon drum of water is purified through reverse osmosis to prevent minerals, and contaminants from blocking and/or breaking down the nozzle jet or other components.
