An abrasive/water jet cutting apparatus has a frame, a carriage movably supported for movement over a work table on the frame, and a water jet cutting head on the carriage. A main storage container for abrasive is provided and an intermediate storage container for abrasive is supported on the carriage. A connecting arm has a pivotal connection at its one end to the frame and a pivotal connection at its other end to the carriage. The arm also has a pivotal connection intermediate its length so that it pivots about the pivotal connections during movement of the carriage. A suction line from the main storage container extends along the connecting arm to the intermediate storage container to supply abrasive thereto, and a high pressure line extending from a high pressure fluid source extends along the connecting arm to the cutting head. The high pressure line is resiliently deflectable at the pivotal connections about which it extends, and the vacuum line is resiliently deflectable. A conduit extends between the intermediate storage container and said cutting head.

Abrasive/water jet cutting apparatus

A water jet cutting apparatus has a line catcher for water and abrasive passing through the worktable comprising a carriage on the frame is movable above a pervious worktable and carries a water jet cutting head. A pan ia supported on the frame and spaced below the worktable, and a collector extends transversely of the frame between the worktable and pan for movement along the length of the worktable in alignment with the cutting head, and has a drain. An insert member is supported in the collector and drains into the collector. A settling tank cooperates with a sludge pump with a conduit from the pan to the settling tank to transport water and abrasive material to the tank. A rinsing pump has a conduit from the settling tank to the collector to draw water from the settling tank and flush abrasive from the collector outwardly of the drain into the pan.
