A waterjet makes no impact on the material being machined because of the physics of the cutting process. Similar "flexi-tool" processes, such as plasma and laser, leave a heat affected zone, hardening the material and preventing secondary machining processes, such as milling and tapping. Some materials (such as Stainless and Titanium) will even be work hardened from a single pass of a milling tool. Additionally, there is very little force transmitted to the material from a waterjet, and almost no heating, so warping, clamping, and other concerns are simplified.
