At last! a subject I know something about
Bevels and chamfers are possible on a waterjet machine. On our machine which is only 3-Axis I would use multiple setups if the chamfer was in more than one axis. but there are 5 axis machines which are more than capable of performing this.
Yes there is some deflection of the jet on initial piercing but once it is through,it's easy. I have cut many different materials on my machine, and I'm still learning. You should see it cut foam!!
Any more questions and i'll try to help,
Mark...
