Hi, Marcin,

This is interesting! Thanks!

What would the kerf be? In Pic 2 it looks fairly wide...

Also, is there a debris container underneath to collect what is taken off,
or does the material become completely pulverized?

Cheers,
Pete

Grrr my 4th try......

Hi
As a person who like test new tortue techniques on meteorites I was very
happy when one private industrial factory purchased first in whole region
equipment to cut using high presure water.
Machinery was 1 month old and when I told them what I want try to cut 3/4 of
live personel come and watch cutting process. I take my 3kg SAU001 half
specimen to try cut it.
Cutting surface was 10cm long and 9cm high.

Ofcourse this is not the best way to cut stones, but I was very curious how
will look cut surface. I tell them to change cutting speed 3 times. They
start cut with 20mm/min and this was too fast, hen 5 and 10mm per minute.

Here is results

Now Im looking only for laser and plasma cutting equipment to produce some
ataxites from my morasko :)

PS, anyone interested in water cutted slice of Sau001 307g ? :D
