Hello Bret,
Great little machine you got there. A few questions...

What do you mean about "tangential" water jet.

What is the purpose of cutting beveled pieces? or can it cut straight sided pieces as well?

Can It be used to remove the taper left when cutting a thick piece with an abrasive water jet?

What are you using to program such toolpaths (ones in the video)

Congratulations again.

Fernando

Hey Frenando,

   As Hood said, that's not my work, I just posted the link cause I liked it.  :)  I know very little about water jets.

A tangentil axis rotates about another axis.

I don't know the purpose for sure but I'm sure it can cut straight sided pieces as well.

I'm guessing that is the whole purpose in setting it up as a tangential. Removeing or adding a taper/bevel as needed.
