Quote: "Y'know, ISTR reading in Popular Science or some equally dodgy "gadgets-for-the-masses" magazine about some bright young boffin using a pressurized stream of water as a cutting tool..."
Actually cutting with a highpressure waterjet is an established industrial process, for example it's used to cut things that would be the heat from a lasercutter or sawblade, like cetain types of plastic or rubber but I've seen picture of it used to cut a 5 millimeter thick Aluminium sheet.
