Pure water cutting: poor or slow cutting

In pure waterjet cutting the orifice and pressure decide the result.

Safety first: Switch off the pump, release all pressure (open the on/off valve or bleed-down valve) and lock out before you open any high-pressure part. Never put a hand or tool near a running jet.
