Abstract Water-jet cutting of glass is considered. Data are presented regarding its applicability, advantages, disadvantages, and potential. In water-jet cutting, the following parameters are most significant: the jet velocity, abrasive grain size, jet inclination, and the distance from the nozzle to the machined surface. Computer simulation shows that, in water-jet cutting, the stress in the glass is lower than in mechanical cutting by a roller. That corresponds to minimal heat liberation and a precise cut with surface roughness Ra = 1.6 µm at the edges.
