What size pump would be best, and why use multiple heads?
* What are the relationships among pump horsepower (HP), orifice and nozzle sizes, abrasive selection and flow, water pressure, cutting speed and quality of cut to edge finish, tolerance and taper? * What about the waste product? Is it safe, and how is it disposed of? * How important is software, and could an existing in-house, computer-assisted design/ computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) program be used efficiently? * Is it possible that the business could grow and require a second and third system? * When should the system be installed to ensure that high-quantity work can be performed, as well as the infrequent jobs? * Is it worth attending an independent course on waterjet cutting to learn the answers to all of these questions and the hundreds more that will arise? The questions regarding waterjet technology are endless. Most will go unanswered without a dedicated effort to research the industry. To answer these questions, time is needed to travel, interview, operate systems
