Trouble shoot water jet not cutting (may be abrasive issue)
Our waterjet has recently gone down and am looking to find help or advice. We replace the Orfice, HP Filter, Nozzel, and Abrasive Line. When running the water jet appears and sounds like it has the abilty to cut and does not clog. The PSI is at 45000 for the water and the abrasive flows consistantly. When moving it onto the material how ever it will not peirce or cut. Was wondering if anyone may have advice as to trouble shooting this issue.

Could be a bad jewel or any of the components not aligned properly. I used to have this problem when using sapphire jewels but hasn't occurs in 3+ years after moving to diamond.
As far as the PSI, that all depends on your machine model and setup. I have a Maxiem 1530 that runs 48k in perfect condition with zero problems but that's what it was designed for.
