A life lesson from waterjet cutters.

High pressure water was used for erosion in mining as far back as the mid-1800’s.

Special nozzles producing a powerful, thin stream of water first began cutting paper in the 1930’s, working their way up through less soft materials like wood, rubber, and plastics through the middle of the 19th century.

It was in the 1980’s, when Dr. Hashish developed and patented the process of adding abrasive to the water, that waterjet capability blasted off. Just a bit of grit allows water to quickly work through metal, stone, glass and more, even routinely cutting through several inches of marble or titanium.

If you let it, friction itself can give you the extra edge you need to carve through your challenges.
