I am new to waterjet cutting but have had 7 years experience with CNC work centers. I have just been put on to a new 5 Axis waterjet and all is going pretty well except I cannot seem to cut a shape from a sheet of glass without the shape cut away showing traces of the lead in and lead out. I have tried different approach parameters (Linear In / Arc In / Entity Extension) and distances but cannot seem to cure it.
I think it is caused when the waterjet completes the shape, as the internal part (the part I need) falls away from the offcut outer section.
Could this be a part support problem? as it completes the shape I can definitely see movement.
