Today on the Waterjet Channel we show you how a waterjet works and how it uses high-pressure water and abrasive to cut anything. This is quite possibly our most educational video. I hope you enjoy. Now that we have the tool that can cut anything... what should we cut next?

@dimitar4y 4 жыл бұрын

You can actually easily calculate how high it would be. Water is just like air, it creates drag based on its density. If it went 2.5ft in water, and water's density is ... 997 kg/m³. Air's density is 1.225 kg/m3, so that means it'll go like 900 times higher. So about 2250ft. Probably. But that's oversimplified, since it'll break apart into a mist and get dragged down even more due to the surface area... Which I donno how to calculate that, so like... about a third of that, 800ft? They can't really do it since there's a roof in the way. Maybe if they hack in an extension hose and fire this dangerous thing with a loose waterjet cutter, prefferably bolted down to solid ground.

@SbassLaser 4 жыл бұрын

Definitely waterjet. They are way more large and complex machines than a laser cutter. Also definitely in terms of operating costs. Lasers only need power, you don't have to buy abrasive, water, replacement heads. Also you don't have to clean out a massive tank of water for a laser every once in a while.

@dimitar4y 4 жыл бұрын

Waterjet parts are pretty expensive. So expensive, everyone only tells you it on a quote. Especially the tungsten nozzle bit. Lasercutters are cheaper in the small scale, just 500$ a tube and they got a long run time. But bigger lasers..... Oof, those are some costs. But they run much longer and are therefore cheaper. Again, hidden behind quote doors.....

@Lunch_box 4 жыл бұрын

Depends on how much of the cutting garnet is used tbh

@dimitar4y 4 жыл бұрын

Depends on the material, since that dictates how slow you go, and therefore how much electricity/power/garnet you use. It also depends on the depth of cut, since it takes time to go through the thickness of the material. And it ALSO depends on the precision you need of your cut, as you need to go slower for higher precision and smoother edges. So time = material type * mmSq removed. Also it's not cheap, I think they covered it in a previous video, 20-40$ / hour. Or 0.33$/minute - 0.66$/minute in best case scenarios. But that's mostly inaccurate due to the wear on the nozzle, the jewel and other expensive parts.

@TheAruruu 4 жыл бұрын

guys.... the original question was "in a 1 minute cut"... how difficult it is to cut through something is 100% irrelevant to the question. they just want to know how much it costs to run a water jet with media for about 1 minute. this doesn't really change whether you're cutting inch thick tungsten carbide blanks, or aluminium foil. whatever the answer is, you only need to multiply the cost for 1 minute by the number of minutes necessary to make the cut you want to figure out the total cost, but the original question is only asking about that 1 minute.

@Bread996 4 жыл бұрын

It’s a VERY expensive machine to run. I service these machines. You have to factor in a lot. First all the consumables including nozzles, garnet, water filters, and table slats. Intensifier rebuilds, hydraulic system cooler replacements, and other stressed parts will wear out. All those high pressure lines, high pressure swivels, and distribution blocks wear out a need replacement. They are all stainless steel and very expensive. The pumps and filters on the chiller wear out. The pump and filter on the table drain. You’ll need to buy filters in bulk. The whole tank itself eventually fills up with sediment, and a vac truck has to clean the tank out and dispose of it a couple times a year depending on your usage. Then of course the water, electricity, and labor to keep it running.
