Dimensional variability arises in AWJ system from uncontrolled factors intervention or due to the variability of input signals considered fixed or due to interactions of the input signals with unexpected effects, leading to deterioration of unpredictable outcome. Number of noise factors, negatively influence the results registered, dispersion of the result values is directly proportional to the number and their effect. Stochastic influence and his unpredictable nature determine a thorough research of the hydroabrasive process. The research refers to the study of dimensional variability for different configurations of hydroabrasive liquid pressure, abrasive type and traverse velocity. This is achieved by performing the experiments statistically processed by combining of control parameters, which allow favorable conclusions on reducing variability results and on optimizing the entire process of hydroabrasive machining.
