Hmm? The waterjet equipment I've seen did not move the head, just the
work, with an X-Y positioner. The cheaper ones have a locking bolt that
allows you to position the head height over the work. Some fancier ones
have a powered drive to elevate the head, but it is not CNC controlled.
You can do an awful lot with just X-Y motion.
