Yes, waterjet cutting has a number of creative and efficient uses.

As pointed out they often use an added abrasive, frequently crushed garner, it was shocking when I first saw 20 totes, pallet size but a cube of crushed garnet.

I did a project where the customer was using waterjet to trim the flashing off of forged titanium jet engine blades.

But other used were slicing rice-crispy treats ( the very high pressures also sterilize the water), acoustic ceiling tile( they do not even get wet)… granted not steel but some of the variety of applications.
