7 Reasons Why You NEED a Waterjet | 5 axis Waterjet Cutting

[@WaterjetChannel]

OOPS, WE MESSED UP. We weren't thinking when we ran this promotion. We will we gone all next week for training on the new waterjet. So any knife orders wont be fulfilled until September 2nd. To make it up to you, all orders will get TWO BATARANGS per knife blank ordered. 🔪🔪 waterjetknives.com 🗡️🗡️

I watched another water jet youtube channel and they sharpened a knife blank and when they were done it was razor sharp.

Yes, they absolutely can.

[@andrewbarchuk1591]

As someone who regularly operates a Flow brand waterjet very similar to the one you've replaced, I assure you that with the enclosure completely filled with water there can still be damage caused to the bottom of the tank. Upon changing out our intensifier it is regular practice to allow the pump to run for 15 mins without abrasive. This is to ensure there are no issues with the rebuild of the intensifier. In the past we have had an operator follow this procedure with abrasion accidentally turned on. This did leave a tiny hole into the bottom of the tank. It was a huge pain in the ass for 2 months (no on believed me when I said there is probably a hole in the bottom of the tank). So each day we while operating the waterjet another and I would vaccum about 75 gallons of water from the floor with a 5 gallon shop vac. Finally when emptying garnet from the tank during maintenance, management was talking into investigating the 'leak' (it was hard to ignore at this point). The solution to the issue was simple. It was filled with weld. I saw someone ask in the comments if you can cut a waterjet out of a waterjet. The answer is yes, all non mechanical parts can be cut on a waterjet. We have refurbished our enclosure multiple times this way. All internals (pumps, attenuator, intensifier etc...) are pressed, or precission lathed and machined. They would need to be worked on other machinery or outsourced.

[@austinfreidline3286]

I operate a Mitsubishi X3-612 with a KMT Streamline Pro 2 that runs at 90k PSI. AKS Water Cutting now makes this machine but it's really an amazing machine. It's also a 5-axis but only goes about 6° to compensate for taper on thicker material. In currently running a 12 foot tilt rack gear on it that's 4" thick steel and will take the next 20 hours to complete. Good luck!

[@WaterjetChannel]

Oh man that sounds intense. Hopefully you don't have to babysit it the entire 20 hours.

[@rossmennie4903]

It’s good to see insane people being productive!

[@rcengineer]

5:23 I think you might mean they've been hardened and annealed, and reheating them softens the steel again.The hardening process already strains the material quite a bit (you're literally forcing it into a crystal structure that does not want to exist at room temp) so you typically want to only do it once.

[@minitrucker007]

Water jet operator here, you can blow a hole in the bottom of the tank. We hired a new guy and we were teaching him how to weigh the Garnet, do the nozzle test and flow test after cleaning the nozzle and mixing tube. The default test is 60 seconds. We never do that we only run it for maybe 5 seconds. He ran all the test for 60 seconds. Pump only, water only, Garnet flow/weigh then water plus abrasive. The water plus abrasive is just like a cut and he blew a hole in the bottom of the tank in 45 seconds of the 60 second test. The tank was about 50% full of abrasive. It was high pressure at 45K PSI and .030 mixing tube.

[@linus452345]

Is there a known ratio to how much the Water jet stream ”cones” over distance? Or is there a changing focus point? Like if you cut something thick, turn it upside down, i supose the cut is wider on the bottom? Or is it?

[@minitrucker007]

linus452345 yes depending on what size mixing tube you are running the water will cone out at different ratios. Most mixing tubes are set for .060 over the surface cutting so that’s the point where the stream will cut a perfect .030 cut like the mixing tube. As you get further away the cut gets wider. Considering they now have a 5 axis you can program the nozzle to compensate for the sway left on the part so it will cut 100% straight from top to bottom unlike a 3 axis machine.

[@linus452345]

Thanks for info :) i thought maybe the newer ones should be able to chose a focus point like you Said, i supose thats what you meant?

[@laprepper]

This video is as entertaining as it is informative 😊

Yes you can easily put holes in the catch tank we run two waterjets, 3x6 and 4x8m we have had to patch both up. Mainly due to lots of our products have a common cut path

Also in addition to making knife blanks, do you have the ability to do other bladed things such as katanas, swords, shurikens, sawblades, etc?
