Cutting marble carpets using a water jet machine by Aquacut

[Dexxxter7780]

where do you go to learn to run one of these machines?

[www1aaaRu]

Fantasticoooooooooooo! Goooood!

[Nyghtshade409]

Now that is absolutely beautiful and amazing. I want one of those machines!

[shameerahdahd]

Hi dude ..How much gap is left in between the cuts ?And how you fill the gaps ?

If pasted what kind of glu used ?

[ueoaoeu]

That's amazing. I would love to cut my sandwich with this and not have my blunt knife squash everything

[mikealex7184]

this is why i dont believe in god!! man has the ability to make WATER cut through marble and steel!!!! rather put my faith in us. this is amazing...

[ComfyBoxers]

It's not pure water, it's high-pressure water laced with silica which is a sharp-corner sand that works as an abrasion. Science FTW!

[tommyzooom]

Excellent, Love it

[thefencejumperengine]

That is really cool!

[wdelgenio]

Technology!

[SuperFablefreak]

i dont believe there will be any bugs living under that carpet

[dojufitz]

Would this water cutter cut a marble slab 0f 20mm into 4-6mm slices - like salami?

[G1McK]

@dojufitz yeah

[reinux]

pretty

[akureli]

how much does this machine cost?

[silentonall]

Just wondering, what is your offset at between inside and outside pieces? It looks beyond .006"

[irisayala]

Would have loved to have seen the finished product

[jstef928]

Simply amazingly beautiful. Must cost a fortune, but worth every penny if you can afford it.

[gnkgnkgnkgnkgnk]

unbelievable!

[mj6118]

What song did you use for this video?

[MilXTeR]

@mj6118 as it says at the end it's by Kevin MacLeod, but I don't remember the name..

[channelplus1]

How much will be the total cost for this job per centimeter include water, abrasive, employee and the machine usage?

Thanks

Behzad

[AquaCut]

@channelplus1 Wardjet has a calculator that can estimate that for you.

You can get it at their site (google it)

This job was too long ago for us to remember all the data. We have a basic price per hour and that's how we usually work by.

[ccmtor]

What type of garnet are you running? It looks like you get a really clean cut at a reasonable feed rate!

[AquaCut]

@ccmtor We're using 80 garnet. feed rate for 2cm marble is around 350mm/m I think.

[Zulkarnayn]

@AquaCut you mean per minute right? 350mm/min ?

[MilXTeR]

@Zulkarnayn Indeed, that's the average

[Zulkarnayn]

@MilXTeR ah, ok. thanks.

[AweSomo84]

@AquaCut beautiful

[coreysky]

What country are you guys from.what is faster wet saw or water jet?

[AquaCut]

@coreysky We're from Israel. Isn't a saw just for cutting straight lines? it's probably faster, but less for precise works like this one.

[MeIsArtTickYouLet]

is it hard to sharpen the water when it becomes dulled

[heyimalex100]

dude thats badass how much does it cost

[AquaCut]

cost may vary, and it depends on the amount of cutting required and who is the final customer - in this case the order went through 3 or 4 hands, and it sure wasn't cheap. Operating a water jet costs a lot more than operating a laser.

[heyimalex100]

so you use this for a business what did you use before the water jet

[AquaCut]

@heyimalex100 We're a water jet workshop, meaning we only supply the cutting services to the customer. I guess before water jets were invented these kinds of products were hand made.

[BSmenot]

Also what kind of market is out there for this stuff, I would like to get in the business..... obtaining the waterjet cutter is the easy part...

[AquaCut]

@BSmenot operating the waterjet isn't as easy as it seems. sure in the end it comes down to pressing a button and letting it run, but the planning and maintenance can be a hassle. Can't tell you the real requirment for such products as these are almost always sold locally and we live in a small country. Also as in many other fields, the chinese make marble medallions really cheap.

[viestartss]

All of these type of works are made on order and in such situations customer wants to affect the design - that is the problem with chinese products that You get it cheap and standard. No customisation.

Best thing with waterjet is that it can cut practically ANY material plus it cuts also very thick sheets of material.

I have a waterjet machine that i would like to sell. Currently it has 2 axis controls, 5 axis head cutting head implementation is in progress.

[BSmenot]

I am interesed in aquiring a water jet.... we call them a water knife...

[BSmenot]

I have been a career machine builder and electrician. Operation of machinery is easy for me. I'm just good at it. I also have artistic abilities. But if I got a water knife can I make a living at it? in these economic times......? just wondering , your opinion is valued

[AquaCut]

@BSmenot well you have a point, water jets are expensive to operate compared to lasers, the question is there a market for it in your country, mainly for cutting marbles, armored glass, and thick metals, these materials can only be cut with the water jets and lasers wont do. We're making a living and our marketing is pretty weak. only our website and thats about it. but it might depend on the situation at your location. In our country we think there are only 10 machines or so.

[bagger101]

with cement

[dills2403]

its actualy a thin set made for such an application to the non floor guy it looks like fine concrete ...... to concrete its fine by itself but to anyother surface you first must put down your backer board hardi backer..

[BSmenot]

@bagger101 I think this person means how do you set one piece of carpet in place without it all coming apart because the glued mesh backing may come apart. Actually thatls my queation too....

[viestartss]

i just don't understand, how do You install such a large piece, after it has been glued? what are the means to fix, fasten these pieces on the floor?

[AquaCut]

@viestartss i guess with cement, our job as a workshop is only to do the actual cutting. the gluing to the bottom marble pieces was done in our factory by the company that placed the order, they also take care of shipping and installation on location.

[datzfast]

man thats slow cutting

[WaterJetter08]

Very nice job with the marble - what size cutting bed was that, that you used?

[AquaCut]

@WaterJetter08 Well counting the tiles at the video i see each cutting head handeling 3 tiles of 60cm, meaning the total width of the cutting in this job is 3.6m. our water tank can hold larger materials, but cutting in dual head the maximum distance is 4m.

[kronic2233]

i want to see what it looked like after installation

[AquaCut]

@kronic2233 thanks for your interest. We don't have such images unfortunately, but if we'll ever visit the location i'll be sure to link to some :)

[AquaCut]

@kronic2233 ya me too, didn't get to visit the site yet. If I will I'll try to post photos to our facebook page (search for aquacut)
