Did you know? We spoke in this blog earlier about who invented the CNC machine but do you know who invented the water jet cutter? We know the last thing you want is a 'War and Peace' history lesson but just in case you happen to be on who wants to be a millionaire and the million pound, or dollar, or Euro or yen depending upon where you are is this exact question then in brief:

Once upon a time there was this German guy called Norman Franz who worked in the forrestry business and in the 1950's he played around and experimented with a water jet machine used for cutting timber but it was not until the 1970's that this other guy came along called Mohamed Hashish and he further developed the idea of the water jet but adding abrasives to the mix thus making a far more powerful tool. Well, so now you know.

Did You Know?

The moderns CNC machine of today came about thanks to a man called John T.Parsons who after the second world war was involved in the manufacture of helicopter blades. Because these rotor blades needed precise machining he worked out that an early IBM computer could produce very accurate contour guides. Due to this success the air force offered him a contact to design a machine to automatically cut contours to manufacture wing sections for planes. The machine was very big and expensive but did a great job using a card reader and servo controls. It would not be until the start of the 60's that this new breed of machine would become more affordable thus allowing it to be used in a range of industries. That's the end of todays history lesson folks!
