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.

Oh well, that is the weekend almost finished so have a great start to the new week and we hope business keeps very busy for you!
