I love how he's got to put his safety goggles on before he explains anything😂😂
Now the "bat-a-rang" can be cut with sharp edges😁😉
heh i was thinking some shape that when cut wont come out of the source material
Yassss!!
@@1Slamalama1 yip, if they cut a turbine that had a flats on the shaft outer between the blades then it would be lock in.
No lick test. No throwing stuff against the wall. Come on. Get back to work gentlemen!
I'm very disapointed with them myself hah, no Batarang, No Lick test etc. but actual WORK....
Not good guys....
Still better that 100% of corporate demo vids
Yea Im not joking
How do you know this isn't actually secretly a corporate demo vid
@@benjaminparker4482 Corporate video to pull you into watching their channel
Than*?
@@benjaminparker4482 it definitely is a corporate demo video. Its just they got the waterjet channel to make it. The other thing is it will reach a much larger audience. Even knowing that it's pretty cool.
It’s how sales works!
'Diamond Orifice' was my nickname in college. Not sure why.
Then you were probably a drop-out.
Sending or receiving?
You should try making a spoon with the waterjet.
7:42
“That’s pretty accurate”
Mitchell: “Uhn guhl whlissis”
Very interesting but how does the lick test actually work? 👅
Step 1: lick
Step 2: know
Belethor Ha!!!
This needs to be a video ASAP.
Kitsune91 I can see the video now. Cartoon graphics showing the pathway from the tongue to the brain. Maybe like Curley’ brain xray in the old three stooges films. Ha!!!
@@paulstan9828 LOL filled with tons of equations, calculations, etc. across the screen to a bang of light only to show his face "Yep. Its [object in question] confirmed."
How high it gonna be if the waterjet facing upward
but how high can it go facing dawnward?
Apparently that's how they got all those craters on the moon
It’s a rather small stream so I’m thinking it would spread out too far for the camera to see?
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.
@@dimitar4y nah since the mass of the stream is so small the air resistance would slow it down considerably since it would break apart into droplets and wouldnt stay in a solid stream. also you'd be fighting against gravity. I'd guess less than 100 feet
Does this mean I'm certified to operate the water jet? See you guys Monday!!
Well played
The head cutting at an angle looked so cool!!!
Keep that imagination, you'll need it, despite what everyone tells ye.
wow, it wasn't until this video that I realized how jankety and old the old waterjet looked compared to the new one
Great job guys. I had a water jet used when I was building the rubber treads for a Johnny 5 robot I built many years ago. The only other option was to have a hard stamping tool made. Water jet was faster and cost less. Fantastic tool.
Kent huh? That's real close to me! I hope you guys are enjoying the state! My work really needs to get a waterjet. It would make life much easier for our shop. Enjoy your stay!
Ot was really cool and nostalgic seeing all the old videos thinking, “I was there when that video came out.” Love you guys.
You guys are hilarious try to be professional but it turns out just naturally funny
Interesting! Never a boring video with you guys.
That video was enlightening on what the machine and y'all can do with it.. Did not know that machine was made in my state that is cool....
Very informative video on the workings of a waterjet, well presented and a demo of a cut that would be hard to do in one operation and as quickly with other methods... End card suggests I watch Mitchell drink toilet water through a filter straw.
This is a game changer for the channel and business!!!
this was incredibly informative, and entertaining. that impeller was really cool
When that was cutting I actually started falling asleep, more please I love it
Just wanted to say, you guys are great
I see beveled knife blanks in the not so distant future! Glad you guys had fun, keep it up!
My manufacturing lab at my community college, has a water jet cutter. It is awesome watching it
How you can tell that impeller is good without lick test?
I love how every single shot, Mitchell's safety goggles are off again hahaha
Loved the video, and enjoyed its extra length oooo yeah
BEST CHANNEL EVER
Love your show keep up the good work.
My most favorite job was near Kent Wa. Camp Berachah for life! Hope you guys enjoy wa
Awesome Presentation ❤
Ahhhhh! Awesome, as usual. I need one haha.
Cool machine man, really is a piece of technology. Looking forward to the things you’ll make with it
You would not think it was so cool if you had to shovel the garnet out of the tank every 3 months..wet, heavy, soggy, dirty garnet over the edge.
I've been waiting for the plank to come back!
Very cool!👍
Hey thanks for the videos. Can it damage the tank walls with near by angle cuts?
Watching the waterjet cutting that impeller was amazing. I was so smooth!:::::::::¡)
Awesome thanks!
Make a tungsten water wheel and spin it with the water jet like the skateboard wheel
I live in Orange County so that’s actually kinda cool to see that bike
you guys should make a video where you make a knife start to finish wood grips and all itd be some great advertisement for waterjet knives
That is so impressive and hard to wrap your head around of the pressure behind that. What doors this has to open up, I'm sure it was quite a breakthrough when discovered... No pun intended...lol
Dude.... 4:40.... why you pointing with your middle finger?? Who does that? 😂😂
Consumables: garnet abrasive, mixing tube, oriface, table slats, pump piston seal components and filters, water, electricity (tens of kilowatts). That's why they're so expensive to operate.
And the occasional maintenance to clean the tank out :P Hahaaaa, gotcha!
*NEW VIDEO IDEA* You should see how far the water jet will shoot across your warehouse!! Cheers from Eagle MTN, UT
Here's a question. Why are the grates, in the tank, curved?
Travis k asking the real questions
They are held in by the tension of the bend, and they are not 'twisty'; with a bend they stand up straight as opposed to straight grates which would want to tip over or vibrate.
@@jibtripin True that. Me thinks it's to catch the ripples better.
@@BrilliantDesignOnline That's an acceptable answer. Thanks
Dang it! I actually learned something from you.
"I'm glad you asked! this is a water jet!"
*silence*
lmao his comedic timing is fucking flawless
Mitchell should lick test the pressurised water to make sure the filters are doing their job
Does a water jet cause resonance vibration in the piece that its cutting? Do you have to clamp down what youre cutting?
6:13 how is a hole that small even made?
With an even smaller waterjet!
an EDM, or an electronic discharge machine, i think. it basically uses electrical pulses to remove tiny amounts of conductive material from things
I was thinking that it was made how they made that one atom thick tungsten rod (or some their metal) by using chemical erosion?
Spark erosion basicaly a
Electrical discharge through a rod to the size of the hole you want
Thank you for all for the answers. 😀
You need to try Altha's Louisiana Cajun while in Kent!!!! it's on Meeker near the train tracks by Burlington Green park.
Which one does cost more, a waterjet or laser cutter? Not only in terms of investment but also operating costs/maintenance.
laser cutter is a lot cheaper but laser cutter's use is very limited, unlike waterjet
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.
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.....
I remember when OCC made the bike for Flow.
Dang you guys are in my home town!
Do a throw back video of all the good times we had with the old one
Are you able to cut abs or other plastics with the water jet??
I love water!
That beat is🔥
Just wondering how many parts of the Waterjet machine you could replicate/replace by cutting them with a Waterjet?
I trust we've all seen the obvious nickname for the water jet. Historically on television, Flo was seen to be strong and assertive. This sums up The Water Jet. Also it's other nickname as it is The Water Jet of all. Joann of Arc's middle name was Flo. (That's a fact I just made up. )
Mitchell putting on his safety windshield before speaking every single time hahaha
From impalers to impellers, a waterjet can do it all!
Im interested to know how long the diamond lasts before the orifice is too big for efficient cutting and do you change the pressure according to material and thickness? (old school retired guy!)
Bolt that impeller to a motor through a plate with a hole in it. Feed a carrot through the hole while it is spinning and chop the carrot.
Try and see how sharp you can cut a knife blank! If its decently sharp and has a decent angle I'll buy it and make a handle and sheath for it that's channel themed
Is there a way to keep parts smaller than the gaps of the slats from falling into the tank while still cutting them out completely, or would you need to leave tabs?
they typically just put some scrape wood on the slates to hold up smaller objects
Are y'all still in Washington?? I live right near that area
Hello did you ever try to cut a big bloc of glass to film the waterjet through it ?
thats a cool tap
0:26 seriously thought you were gonna take us towards a bathroom there when you said "let me show you"
Ayyye yall are where I liveeeeee
You should do a saw movie Halloween 🎃 special where you cut in half a fake body 😂 and carve some pumpkins
do a video where you fill the abrasive tank with random stuff like flour... if you can afford a spare one 😂
Fill the 3ft water tank with flour and make a huge loaf of bread.
When piercing, how does the machine know it’s
Gone all the way through before it starts moving? Or is it just based on a dwell time?
I think it's actually user input. "seek start point and begin penetration" is the first "start", then once it's through the user hits "start" again to begin the cutting operation.
With plasma cutting, it is dwell time. With thick enough material, you must pre-drill a start hole.
I currently have a Mach 200, which I mainly use for cutting marble and granite. But it looks like I haven't mastered the pump system yet
I had no idea these could cut at an angle like that, I thought they were just up and down cutters!
Can we get links to the things you cut at the end of this video? The rifle and camera lens made me cry, as they're not cheap things to buy 😭😭
Very impressive precision is there ever going to a micro home water jet going to ba made be very handy indeed for model hobbyist eveb DIY. In theory
I’d like to ask whether the water with which you clean off the finished products is also many times purified but it seems like a dumb question. But is it? Or is it regular water, as would make more sense?
the water they spray with is just tapwater. regular water. The water that gets sprayed out of the waterjet is very purified. Because any impurities in the system will act exactly like the waterjet high pressure water and cause the jet to stab itself internally, as if it was being shot by another waterjet. Also it can clog up the lines.
How often do you have to change the water filters? And do you change them all at the same time?
Depends on local water quality. Mostly takes a few months they all have to be replaced, same time, to avoid mistakes while tracking which ones are replaced.
Hello how can you program the nozzle to get into the 45 angle?
Now they are unstoppable
Can you cut a knife with that and sharpen it at the same time? What would the cut quality be?
What does a "cut" in a waterjet cost in consumables dollar figure wise? Like in a 1 minute cut, how much does that typically cost (not counting your valuable time)?
Depends on how much of the cutting garnet is used tbh
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.
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.
@@TheAruruu tldr you are an idiot
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.
god bless dr.hashish
Does the grain matter... Cutting along the grain of medium, cross cut, angled cuts?
I don't think so. Our local WJ guys can cut through 9" granite and the 0.040" kerf is close to the same at the bottom.
I can tell you guys are best friends
Well, it’s 4 am and now I know how a waterjet works
I wonder how often that nozzle need to be replaced. All the water and silica being forced out, must take its tole.
It does. It gets replaced pretty often. Every 50 or so hours of cutting, especially the more garnet you use. That is, if you need the precision. Without precision, it can last 500 or more hours.
How far can the water beam travel thru air? If it is possible to rotate the 5 Axis nozzle that far
I made my own timelapse of the cut by using the playback speed option, DIY timelapse
Can you make a comparison between cutting with and without the abrasive
I also need to know how the lick test was created but where is heat most generated on the machine? with it being water does it cool itself?
Most heat generated in the pump. Fresh (cold) tap water cools it off. The cutting doesn't make much heat, and it gets cooled off by the waterjet water spraying it anyway. The next hot thing is the electronics, but they're much cooler than the motors.
did you both ever make the channel logo with a water jet? if not I think it would be a good video idea
This is a Waterjet! You can tell it’s a Waterjet, because of how it is.
0:35 nailed it...
If the waterjet turns sideways, wont it poke holes in the slats?
Their usually removable for when you clean the tank so I would imagine you can buy replacement ones
They said in the video that the slats are consumables...
I can hear the intensifier thumping in the background .
The heart of a waterjet
Ah got me with that ad at the 9:09 mark.
