Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for water jet cutting including: a water source; a pump communicating with the water source, generating a high pressure water flow; a tank containing an abrasive material in suspension, including a fluid and abrasive particles dispersed homogeneously in the fluid; and a cutting head in fluid communication with the pump and the tank, the cutting head including a mixing chamber. The tank of the abrasive material in suspension is in communication with the cutting head by an abrasive inlet channel and the cutting head is configured to generate a vacuum pressure that draws the abrasive material in suspension through the abrasive inlet channel toward the mixing chamber to mix the abrasive material in suspension and the high pressure water and form a jet of water and abrasive. Also disclosed is a method for generating a water jet cut that can be implemented with the apparatus.
