Forming components such as blades (3) for gas turbine engines requires use of erosion and cutting techniques. In such circumstances the component (3) must be robustly presented in a clamping arrangement (8, 9; 25A,B, 28) but also cut or eroded appropriately to avoid stressing upon the component which may cause rejection and failure in use. By utilising a water-jet (23) which is fixed and static and manipulating a component in itself in an appropriate clamp arrangement (8, 9; 25A,B, 28) it is possible to achieve accurate forming and shaping of a component (3) using the water-jet whilst avoiding over-stressing of the finally formed component. |
