Abrasive water jet (AWJ) cutting is a combination of the solid particle (erodent) and jet pressure (water) in a defined proportion to cut the material. The dealers and suppliers for AWJ cutting machines are available worldwide. The photo image of the AWJ machine installed at the shop floor for cutting hard material is shown in figure 1. …

A non-woven abrasive is manufactured by bonding a "web" of nylon strands via synthetic resins. The non-woven part of the name is because the bonding agent creates the web as opposed to weaving the strands together. Once the web gets formed, the fibers get treated with an abrasive grain, which provides the grinding power of the web.

Here's why: fibre discs are made of a single layer of precisely oriented abrasive grains on a stiff vulcanized fibre backing. The entire face of the disc is covered in grains, increasing the cutting surface area. This allows the cutting teeth to "bite" into the metal and remove material more quickly than a depressed center grinding wheel.
