Mach3 Tangential waterjet

[barker806]

The pump was a hydraulic pump with a pressure intensifier getting it up to 35000 psi (ish) The nozzle i have no idea :( I was doing software not hardware

Nice Machine :)

I just bought mine SS from cnc4pc :)

Ok can you elaborate on the water pump and jet nozzle please

What pressure etc.

Awesome, but why would one need to cut tangentially by water. I mean tangential cutting is necessary for saws but waterjet!? or it is just to show an example of mach3 vb scripting capabilities?

[barker806]

This was done so you could glue in other colors.. The glue is placed on the 45 seam that was cut. So it is more then show ;)

What would be the price of such a machine can someone tell ?

[biessebod]

fantastic once you realise what its actually doing! a great example of tangental cutting using the galil

what intensifier were you using?

was the tangental cutting control code programmed in mach or in galil?

[barker806]

That is all done in Mach3... You just load 2D gcode and the rest is automagic ;)

[biessebod]

are you artsoft b barker? il have to read the mach manual again.

i know how to do it with the galil controlling the tangental

[barker806]

I can't hide ;) It is a setting on the "Settings" screen. You just check that you would like to have Tangential on..
