RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Direction follower ?

has anyone EVER done a homebrew waterjet cutter? are the pressures involved
just too dangerous? as far as i see it, they are just a preasure
intensifier, attached to a saphire nozzle, right? over a water tank?
wouldn't it the best way to cut glass? using abrasives in the water (needed
to cut glass) you'd even be doing the sanding!---Dave L.

I was wondering...
Couldnt you just use a high speed spindle( or dremel(etc)
attached to the spindle ) and a small carbide
(45degree?) bit. Maybe make a spring loaded bit holder
to control the downward force and depth, or just the
weight of the dremel in a sliding fixture( counterbalanced?)

All you should need to do is score the glass. The
rotating bit should be better for the sharp turns.

Care would be needed in the layout of the glass
pattern so that breaks wouldn't cross/continue over
other score lines and ruin the piece. There was
a thread similar to this awhile back I think on
scoring glass with a bit?
