A method for liquid-jet cutting, including a compressor unit (), which compresses a liquid for producing a liquid jet, and a nozzle (), which is connected to the compressor unit () and which has an outlet opening (), through which the compressed liquid exits in the form of a liquid jet (). The one flow of the compressed liquid to the outlet opening () is interrupted or enabled by an interrupting unit (). The following steps are performed: compressing the liquid by the compressor unit (), moving the outlet opening () toward a workpiece () to be processed until a processing distance (d) is reached, alternately enabling and interrupting the liquid jet () by the interrupting unit (), wherein simultaneously the nozzle is moved in relation to the workpiece in a processing direction () and the pulse duration (t; t; t) of the liquid jet is less than 1000 &#x3bc;s.
