Can Water Cut It? Titanium Golf Club!

[remalion]

Can it cut thick glass? Say...impenetrable glass used on ceiling.

Probably it can since it can diamond, but just curious what thickness can it do.

Try 1/2" ;)

[CanWaterCutIt]

@remalion - The ultrahigh pressure erosion process can cut most materials. Most likely it would be able to cut 1/2" glass. We do have a world class demonstration lab in Kent, Washington where we push the application boundaries every day. We would love to test cut some impenetrable glass if someone has an application they’d want tested and the material supplied.

[jeff77789]

what is used underneath whatever is being cut to slow the strong flow of wateR?

[Musgle]

can water cut a car engine??

[CanWaterCutIt]

@Musgle - Interesting suggestion! It is possible, but there are a lot of air gaps within the engine that would cause the jet to lose power and create a rough cut.

[ipokepokemon]

WTFHAX?!?!

[megawebshow]

can water cut a big gold bar?

[CanWaterCutIt]

@megawebshow - Yes, it may take awhile, but it would be possible to cut a big gold bar with an abrasive ultrahigh pressure waterjet.

[E30board]

YEAH BUT.....CAN IT CUT MY DEBT?

[E30board]

they say "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME"

who has an industrial water cuter at home?....i could try under my sink tap but i don't think it will cut anything,not even an onion

[jakemichie97]

aint this the new BFX guy???

[ESA1996]

Get yourselves a big diamond and cut it in two! Or just tell me would it cut a diamond in two?

[CanWaterCutIt]

@ESA1996 - Yes, it could cut a diamond in two.

[mpr330cd]

what's the point of this videos? High pressure water can cut everything!

[23rasec]

Yeah, but, will it blend?

[cometaztheoriginal]

don't buy a frickin' $1000 golf club if you can't play golf!!

oh yeah, cut a sponge...

[SimulatedlPuppet]

Is the do not try this at home message needed? How many people do you expect has access to equipment like that?

[davidofchinkov41]

yea i know something that flow man can go against: a sledgehammer - 3-

[TheRebelEye]

You should try cutting water.

[pickachu500]

i do like this series but he "can water cut it on every ep" is annoying

[jasonfriedman1]

That's a pretty awesome squirt gun

[HHHdahman]

Can water cut it?

KRYPTONITE.

[jsdart123]

hi, will it be possible to tell me which track/ tune do u use in 0:40 like when the water is cutting the stuff and when flowman stands with the wind blowing :D thanks

[CanWaterCutIt]

@jsdart123 - The song is called "Kicking". We purchased it from RoyaltyFreeMusic.

[weebought]

Can water cut diamond?

[cthulhu11111111]

can you cut the government debt?

[kmanmx]

Does the piping and water nozzle not get eroded extremely quickly ?

[CanWaterCutIt]

@kmanmx - Considering the amount of pressure and the power of a waterjet, I would say the components last a while. Water pressurized up to 94,000 psi is forced through a jeweled orifice, which is either a diamond, ruby, or sapphire. Diamonds last much longer, up to 1,000 hours of operation, versus up to 100 hours for the ruby/sapphire. The carbide tubes where the water and abrasive mix after the orifice is called the mixing tube. These last around a 100 hours as well.

[krap101]

How do you keep the table from being "cut" or worn? Or is it like a spoilboard where it is replaced?

[CanWaterCutIt]

@krap101 - Waterjets cut through anything and everything – the slats across the table will eventually get cut. To increase their life they are moved around and rotated, but eventually they will need to be replaced. But, making them is easy because owners just cut new ones using their waterjet.

[krap101]

@CanWaterCutIt I always thought waterjet was restricted to 2d extrusions? How do you then control the depth of cut?

[CanWaterCutIt]

@krap101 - A waterjet is highly capable of cutting in full 3D. Flow waterjets offers 3, 5, 6, & 7 axis cutting systems and full robotic units for all 3D cutting applications. One characteristic of waterjet cutting is that the depth cannot be controlled – you must cut all the way through the material. The benefit of this characteristic is that waterjet will cut through anything.

[CanWaterCutIt]

@Wacomputer - yes, thanks!

[chillinur36]

i wish they would just get on with the video. we get it. she cant hit it.

[arekussu]

always skip the first half of the vids :D

0:43

[KFCHambone]

cut an anvil. :)!!

[xXoOXor93OoXx]

can water cut Adamantium??

[20xxFishSpineOff]

@xXoOXor93OoXx

fictional metal (nerd metal) = Adamantium

[ollytennant]

Can please you do "Can water cut it? Diamond!"

Thanks =)

[TheGodKingOfMusic]

in soviet russia, u dont cut water, water cut u!

[sassui90]

actually, it could cut a steel or whatever material container with water? wouldn't the pressure power in the steam, spread and lose?

[CandleLight0101]

Can Water Cut Water?

[audi100dude]

lol, you say dont try this at home.., i dont think many of us have a waterjet cutter at home..:P

[nthngrunslikeadeere]

cut a steak!

[TheMarqueez]

how can a water cut a metal??

[CanWaterCutIt]

Waterjets do not cut through materials, like metal; rather they erode away at metal in the same fashion as the water and rock eroded away to form the grand canyon.

With the help of abrasive (sand paper grit material) in the water, which travels at supersonic speeds, this erosion process happens very quickly through materials from rubber to hardened ceramics, glass and metal.

[pheenix345]

@CanWaterCutIt This might be a stupid question. If the jet quickly erodes a spot of material, where does the material go to? Does it flow away with the water?

[CanWaterCutIt]

The width of the stream can be as small as a human hair, so the amount of material being lost or eroded away is very minimal.

The material that IS eroded away flows with the stream into the tank of water that rests under the cutting table surface. Great question, keep them coming!

[TheMarqueez]

@CanWaterCutIt ohhh i get it...

[tylerawsome3]

@CanWaterCutIt i..... like..... cheese!

[nben2012]

@CanWaterCutIt wouldnt that make it "can water-with-abraisive-materials­-through-it cut it

[Bidon45]

@CanWaterCutIt lol well technically thats what cutting is.. metal saws erode the material in the same way, by destroying the material a little bit at a time.

[krap101]

@CanWaterCutIt What is it like when water breaks the speed of sound?

[cameron0113]

How much did that machine cost?

[nintendomaster96312]

Awesome! Highly compacted compound of H2O- Water!!!

[SCGARCUBE]

why does there always gotta be someone who ruins the awesomeness(killerkowalczyk)

[thenoobsterman]

what is the temperature of the water?and can it cut throught people?

[killerkowalczyk]

can water cut diamond or carbon nano rods? how about Tungsten Carbide?

[CanWaterCutIt]

Great question. Yes, Flow Waterjets can cut tungsten carbide. Depending on the grade of tungsten, aluminum oxide may have to be used as the abrasive.

[BarneySaysHi]

@CanWaterCutIt But can it cut diamond?

[CanWaterCutIt]

Our Flow waterjets are capable enough to slowly erode away at a diamond, but not effectively.

[laitela01]

@CanWaterCutIt How about carbon nanotube? Will it take much longer than diamond? Or does water affect it at all?

[crazytokyo]

what is something water cutter cant cut?

[CanWaterCutIt]

The one material that water isn't able to cut, along with any other machine tool, is Tempered Glass.

Tempered Glass is meant to shatter if impacted with any outside force.

Thanks for the excellent question, keep them coming!

[RuneFinity44]

What type sufrace do you have under this thing? Seeing how this water can cut through a bowling ball, wouldn't the water easily cut through that to?

[CanWaterCutIt]

Excellent question! Flow table top surfaces are in fact made up of several thin vertically laid slats approx 4" thick that are bent into an "S" shape.

Below these slats sits a tank of water, as water is the only form to stop all the kinetic energy from the nozzle. The water sits close to 3 1/2 feet deep.

Any less than 3 feet, the power of the waterjet could reach the bottom of the tank and potential wear away a hole over time.

Keep those great questions coming!

[daddyleon]

cut down on snacks

[unterschleif]

wtf

[Gamewinners42]

i use this thing to cut tissue paper! because im just that badass! XD

[chocolatechocochoco]

LOL tennis !

[caps766]

Don't try this at home? As if I have a CNC water cutter at home!

[MyYeloGremlin]

Flowman you gave the term "Slice" a whole new meaning!! I think Ms Gilmore could use a few lessons. How about showing us a 5 Pin split in bowling? Hope to meet you at the next trade show. DaveK
