Abstract
Abrasive liquid jet cutting is provided by disposing abrasive particles in positionally supported form, as on a carrier, such as sandpaper, between the liquid jet nozzle and the workpiece. The particles are intercepted by the liquid jet and driven into the workpiece which may be ferrous or nonferrous metal. The particles may be bonded to a paper-like backing, incorporated in a binder, such as a viscous paste, or formed into a rod-like structure. Variable feed of the workpiece or the abrasive carrier can be used to provide optimized or selective abrasive cutting.
