will there ever be a high pressure water cutter for the average
woodworker

maybe someone already makes them

the paper industry uses this to cut paper


this would really cut down on sawdust

okay now you have to deal with a dust slurry but better than breathing
it in


wonder how big the kerf is

Woodworkers go to some grief to dry wood, why would they want to get
finished wood wet again? If you're worried about dust, collect it.
Saws aren't the real culprit, IMO.

Drying green wood that woodworkers go "to some grief" to obtain is
totally and completely different than drying wood that gets a little
surface dampness from a water jet. One takes a year an inch, one takes
an hour in the sun.

Some wood, like Red Oak, soaks up water really well. You can work
with wet wood, I'll keep mine dry. It's a solution looking for a
problem.

"Really well" is meaningless. Take a 20 lb chunk of dry, red oak, soak
it in water for 20 minutes and then check its weight. You will see it
really didn't soak up much water at all, really.

It's a solution looking for a problem.

If you think using a water jet on wood will create a piece of wet wood
at all comparable to the green wood "Woodworkers go to some grief to
dry" then you are a problem looking for a place to happen. Those that
own a water jet and plan on cutting wood with it will not have a problem
with wet wood, other than some minor surface dampness.
