Lots and lots of $$$$. While a lot of people talk about it from time to time, I've never seen anyone who was able to build one.Originally Posted by ariel 1
How do I convert a cnc routor to a water jet? I have a small cnc router (3' x 3'), that I would like to convert to water jet.
What would I need? Any ideas or suggestions where I might look for info?
I am looking to cut stained glass and maybe stainless 6064 or 7074.
Like what kind of pump?

From what I understand Ger21 is right. The water jet pump alone is mega bucks!!!! Then there is containing the mess, reclaiming your abrasive, Pretty major project. But don't let us discourage you. If you can afford it & then make your money back on operating the machine. Go for it....
If it works.....Don't fix it!
Search this site about home build water/abrasive jets.....we've discussed it a thousand times.
