Not for milling and one of the things we cut a lot was wood. Some of the furniture guys tried the water jet thing with wood. You would think that the results would have been predictable. I guess not.... Oh, I'd bet that the more porous a material, the less predictable the results. Add to that the fact that the wood's density isn't as consitent as steel, and I think you'd have about a nil chance of succesfully using a water jet to cut wood precisely!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Yeah, water jets for wood are pretty common now from what I understand.
