Once it was on correctly, though, we had no problems with the connection. Just remember that the end with the green knob goes towards the hose. It's obvious now what we did wrong, but not necessarily obvious at the time.

I love that you begin with a brief motivation, then show the results, and then go into a detailed explanation. Seeing the result at the start gets us up to speed and makes the explanation much easier to grasp. Cheers!

The water does play a very crucial role in itself actually. It serves as a coolant while simultaneously serving as a medium to accelerate the abrasive particles with. A friend of mine who works at a metal workshop that both had a laser cutter and a water jet cutter (heavy duty variant that they used to cut through stainless steel plates that were inches thick) has told me that you get more precise cuts at the microscopic level using the waterjet, because even a fine tuned laser cutter creates irregular burns in the cuts, that might not be noticeable to the naked eye, but will get noticed during quality control and assembly of the manufactured parts.

hey cool project couple of tips though. i used to work as a hydro-demolitions operator (18,000-20,000 psi handheld water jet for demolishing concrete) i noticed at the top of your jet assembly the hose from the pump comes in at a 90degree angle with the gauge above it. if you swap them around the water wont need to make a hard turn. in these types of systems reducing the number and angle of bends can greatly increase efficiency. i would also suggest a short hose (1meter or so) or at the least run the hose out in a straight line, if it needs to have a bend make it a nice wide radius. the result of bends etc causes friction in the movement of the water against the hose wall. in my experience when we operated our water blaster with a few too many bends, the water going into the pump would be ~10c(or average cold water temp) but the water coming out of the nozzle of the lance(gun) could be something in the order of 50c+ while at the same time having a noticeably lower pressure (and velocity). bare in mind most if the time we were operating the lance 80% of the hose would be submerged in the ocean. thus we went to considerable lengths to keep the 40meter hose as straight and bend free as practicable. cheers hope this can help obtain some improvement and efficiency

A great deal of care is due around high pressure liquids. Around the cutting nozzle is obvious, but a pinhole leak in a hydraulic hose can be extremely dangerous. Don't ever search for leaks with your hands (or any other body part). Any injury from high pressure liquid systems warrant an immediate trip to the ER and likely emergency surgery. Jet injection injuries are no joke. Cool project idea, just worth the consideration in a safety arena that a lot of people aren't aware of.

Lower levels of airborne particles was just coincidental, it was not by design. Water was necessary for cut accuracy. That's the sole reason so why it's used. Those super lightweight, super inconsistently shaped particles would drift all over the place, and would be deflected in all different directions was not the water there to stabilize them. What was once a 20, 000ths of an inch wide cut would suddenly be half an inch wide, and take many many times longer.

Sapphire and ruby both belong to the Corundum group and consist mainly of aluminium oxide. The name "sapphire" includes most transparent varieties of corundum except ruby but it is usually implied to be blue. It stems from the Hebrew language, Ruby from Roman. Historically, before chemistry, people did not realize that (blue) sapphire and ruby were made of the same material, hence the different names. That is also why there are so many names for the different varieties of silicon oxide. The ruby creating the water jet is probably an artificial one. It is relatively expensive because it is difficult to drill a small hole in it (being extremely hard), requiring either a diamond or tungsten-carbide drill. Btw, that is also why the end-piece is so expensive. Apart from tungsten-carbide not being a cheap material, it can only be machined using diamond tools. Drilling such a long, narrow channel into it is extremely difficult.

Just from an electrician perspective, a 15a breaker we design for 12a loads, and a 20a breaker we design the circuit for 16a of load. A 20a breaker with 20a of load heats up really quick and will trip. If you used a 220/240v motor from a dryer or refrigerant compressor motor on a 20a 2 pole, you effectively pull 40a (20a per leg) worth of HP.

Would Cody actually do it?

Awesome work. I could see that it work a treat for cutting tiles. A straight edge would be all that was required.

Use an air compressor to increase pressure! You can buy a home snow maker. It uses anywhere from a small electric home pressure washer to multiple pressure washer for more volume. The main thing it needs is a high volume compressor. Which I'm sure you have already at the shop. This will increase your pressure from 2-3,000 psi to 6500-9000 psi water pressure. Needs a shop air compressor capable of 4+gpm of air at 90 psi... Just add a "venturi" or something of the sort for the addition of abrasive.

That secondary fan actually doesn't increase cooling at all. If you put ten identical fans spinning at the same speed back to back, you get the same airflow as with a single one of them because their relative speed is null. Here, the added fan is actually reducing airflow because it's not as fast/high CFM as the original one.

This is a remarkable test. While everyone wants to focus on safety they clearly have never experienced R&D, prototype development in a small home garage or shop where funds are limited and ingenuity has to work in the most cost effective way to come to proof of concept. You’re there now,... and have shared this proof of concept. Therefore now anyone with mechanical skills can take the simplest of this technology and utilize the knowledge to commence development into a high quality home built CNC water Jet table. Realistically you could probably develop a very nice CNC water Jet at home for a mere $2,000 (or less) that addresses the basics especially given those who have machinery who could potentially machine their own pump housings based on a more positive pressure design of the prototype; therefore potentially increasing cutting pressures for well used 3/8 alloys. Simply running stainless tubing from pump to gantry and 5000psi high pressure hose you could eliminate much of the risk and allow for gantry moment. If there was still concern a removable fabricated umbrella could sit over the top of the gantry allowing full X/Y travel while containing all fluid in event of a rupture. I have to state I am thoroughly impressed here and the simple open source proof of concept could be the next evolution in home built waterjets. If you were located in Denver I would without hesitation offer to venture with full access to our shop in developing a cost affordable home based solution. Nice work!

Think about this if one used a large reciprocating pump perhaps for a car wash where a high gallon per hour rating in order to maintain high pressure from a back room through 100ft plus hose with ratings at 4500psi driven by 3hp motors one may have a good basis for a home model. Taking one of those “cat pumps” and driving it with a 5hp motor one could produce extremely high pressures through that small orifice. In this case high performance seals may need to be used to prevent early friction wear. Ironically I threw 20 of those pumps away several years ago not wanting to deal with them. Would be nice to have one handy for testing.

I never thought water could cut anything !!! Amazing

As my old man used to say to me, (when I actually did something he liked).."your a smart F**K, you know that??" Laugh!! I haven't heard it in 17 years now..but I find it fitting for You after seeing this! Very cool you smart F**k, keep it up! Great video production as well...thank you!!😀

The Signal Path I

I've never been so bored as I was watching this video...literally falling asleeee...

It's not my fairytale, but it's fantastic idea... If I ever have my own workshop - I will build machine like this! All the best!

so i watched this whole thing and forgive me if i missed you mentioning this but: IF YOU MAKE THIS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT PUT YOUR FLESH ANYWHERE NEAR THE CUTTING STREAM. not /just/ because it will cut you like it cut all that other stuff, which is obvious, but it will inject high pressure water and abrasives up into your hand and blood stream. At the local maker space here in SF they attach a medical warning card to the key used to turn on the machine because medical personnel are gonna need to know how fucked you are if you somehow end up putting your hand in the way of the stream. It was actually pretty worrying seeing your fingers so close to the cutting stream like that. you'd be so much better off if you only cut yourself with a regular blade or even a laser cutter but a water jet will fuck up your shit real bad.

Here I am, should be learning for my exams tomorrow, watching a guy building a waterjet cutter

We had one at Fisher body in Lansing that cut the options out for carpeting. It had a Ruby tip and it operate it at 60 thousand PSI. Nothing you would ever want to get your fingers close to.

Nice!!!! Great explanation!!! Always count your fingers when done cutting.....

Great work, well done. You explained everything just beautifully.

You have the greatest job ever - tinkering endlessly!

Very interesting, thanks. I have used my cheap pressure washer to clean masonry and painted walls. I was surprised at the abrasive power that they have. So getting them to cut through materials is very interesting by combining sand in a venturi effect. I am thinking to go get some beach sand to experiment with :) Also try making a sand blaster tool with an air compressor/water jet.

@JHenrySlentz

Replying to a five year comment: happen to ever build this air compressor sand blaster water jet combo-thing? I was thinking the exact thing as watching this but also thought that his abrasive traveling twice the speed of sound may not need the additional help. Ideally, combining multiple small water jet pumps to push water pressure to 6000-8000psi would be the next step. Water flowing past a univalve preventing backflow of the water and abrasive would act like a vacuum on sucking the abrasive out of the container. Gravity-fed works fk'n great too though.

@@JHenrySlentz I didn't get around to it but I did get some sand from the beach.

The additional fan does not appear to have as much flow capability as the aluminum one on the original motor. If I'm correct, the added fan adds nothing to cooling the motor and may actually slow flow down.

This is probably the best video I've seen on KZread. I hope others will take note! Thank you very much...very thorough and informative.

I think they need to remove safety guards and most warning labels anyway. Then let nature run its course. Just because "pay attention" has the word "pay" in the phrase. It is absolutely free for anyone! And if you "pay attention" you can have a safe, cost efficient device. That preserves resources by using less materials to build. And far less bulky than one with all of the idiot labels and guards that often get in the way. I think that this gentleman came up with an awesome way to add a useful tool to your shop. At a very affordable price.

Really cool! What advantages are you shooting for out of a waterjet cutter vs. a laser? I was reading about the differences and was surprised at how nuanced they were.

@AppliedScience

7 жыл бұрын

Waterjet is especially good for very hard/brittle materials like ceramic, glass, carbon, and fiber composites. I think the laser would be less expensive per inch of cut, so it's better if you are only interested in cutting sheet metals and plastics. The laser cutters (in my mind) are divided into those capable of cutting metal (400W Metabeam), and not (75W Epilog).

I work on a industrial Water-jet and plasma-cutter cutter daily.The main difference is the finish and the slag being produced. Both machines will be happy to cut through a 50 mm to 70 mm thick mild steel plate but with the plasma-cutter you get a lot of slag (molten metal ) forming around the initial penetrating cut, so you would have to offset your starting position pretty far away from the part (up to 10 mm), but with the Water-jet you can go 1 mm away from the part and the finish is better. if you feed too fast with both of them you risk not cutting all the way through the plate. but with thin materials plasma-cutter is much faster.

i use a high tension lazer VMI beam to cut though precious gems at my job, its made from a reconstructed ceiling fan and an LED flash light, it will chop though diamond, ruby, plastic G.I joe toys and butter, it only took 2 steps to make it too, first you pull a blade off a fan, then tape it to the flash light and pull out of the batterys then fill the emtpy flash light with salt and your done, Lazer VMI beam VMI standing for VOUCHER-MIDDLE-INTEGRITY

on thing gauge metals lasers tend to warp the sheet stock, aswell as the slag also mentioned, while water does not create heat strain on the part as the water cools the part.

That`s so cool I didn`t know you can make a waterjet cutter from a pressure washer. Great job.

I found a perfect pressure washer for this. Someone threw it out because it won't shut off when you release the trigger and blew a hole in the hose. I was planning to repair it, but after watching this I all of a sudden need a waterjet to cut my beagles.

"I'm about about getting one." That's quite the endorsement ;)

I dont think the fan is doing anything for you. It could be causing a minor restriction of airflow. Other than that your project is pretty cool. Especially the part about the loader valve and cutting tip.

Ingenious design,Sometimes that type of tools required..

He's like the Walt from breaking bad Netflix series lol very good work put together very nicely!

That would be great for cutting odd shapes in non-tempered glass.

I love how much you emphasized safety in this
