this is a waterjet cutting machine

Waterjet Machine Guide: Types, Uses, Price, Features

A waterjet machine is a versatile addition to any manufacturing shop, allowing for precise cutting across a range of materials and thicknesses. This machine operates by propelling water at high velocity and pressure, effectively eroding the material it cuts, akin to machining but without the need for cutting tools. It’s an industrial powerhouse capable of

29. Create a Peck Drilling Program in Circular or Rectangular Patterns
Using the Circular or Rectangular Drilling Wizards, you can program the machine to drill an un-limited series of holes along the X and Y planes. Program it to drill straight through to your total depth, use a high-speed pecking cycle, or deep hole pecking cycle. You can program the cut-in depth and return point for a controlled peck drill application to maximize chip clearance.
