In order to create enough pressure for the sand to cut through materials like steel, a pump is needed. Typically, an intensifier or crank pump is used, either of which can pressurize the water up to 60,000 psi. When it comes to a very precise and consistent cut, two key components are a jewel orifice and a mixing tube. The jewel can either be a ruby, sapphire, or diamond. The jewel is encased in a round metal housing, which the water passes through to form a very precise narrow jet of water. The jewel orifice is so small, it is barely visible to the naked eye.
