As with speed, thickness is a strong function of the material, the machine, and the required tolerance. Practical limits are 2-3 inches for material such as steel with a thickness range of 0.010 to 12-inches thick. However above 2-3 inches there are losses in tolerance due to divergence of the water jet stream as well as loss of speed negating the practical value of using water jet cutting.
