Abrasive jet machining(AJM) process is similar to the sand blasting, and effectively removes hard and brittle materials. AJM has applied to rough working such as deburring and rough finishing. As the needs for machining of ceramics, semiconductor, electronic devices and LCD are increasing, micro AJM was developed, and became the inevitable technique to micromachining. This paper describes the performance of the micro AJM in micro groove cutting of glass. Diameter of hole and width of line in this groove cutting is 80${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Experimental results showed good performance in micro groove cutting in glass, but the size of machined groove was increased about 2~4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. therefore, this micro AJM could be effectively applied to the micro machining of semiconductor, electronic devices and LCD parts.

The mechanical etching technique has recently been developed to a powder blasting technique for various materials, capable of producing micro structures larger than 100$\mu$m. This paper describes the performance of powder blasting technique in micro-pocketing of stainless steel and the effect of the number of nozzle scanning and the nozzle height on the depth and width of pockets. Experimental results showed that increasing the no. of nozzle scanning and decreasing the nozzle height resulted in the increase of depth and width in pockets. Increase of width results from wear of mask film.
