What is Taper?
Taper is the inherent difference in the width of the cut from top to bottom found in all abrasive waterjets. There are several types of taper found in cutting. The V-shaped taper is the most common, where the top of the cut is wider than the bottom. Reverse taper is often found in soft materials, where the bottom is eroded more than the top. In very thick materials, barrel taper can occur where the middle is wider than both the top or the bottom. Many factors affect taper, including material type and thickness, abrasive size, distance of nozzle from the material, and the speed of cutting. Some materials can even exhibit multiple forms of taper in the same edge, such as simultaneous reverse and barrel taper.
