Waterjet Focusing Tube

A wear-resistant carbide tube in which water and abrasive particles are bundled and accelerated to form a high-energy cutting stream.

The focusing tube bundles water and abrasive into a sharp cutting jet. If it's worn or clogged, the jet becomes unclean and the cut edge suffers. Make sure the tube has no cracks or erosion, and replace it in time. If the jet comes out fanned or performance drops, something's wrong with the tube. Cleanliness is half the battle here, so check it regularly.
