Tutorial Process The AVID tutorial process has been divided into three partsÑ before the tutorial, during the tutorial and after the tutorial. These three parts provide a framework for the 10 steps that need to take place to create effective, rigorous and collaborative tutorials. Read and note the key components of each step of the tutorial .
Abrasive-Jet Machining High pressure water (20,000-60,000 psi) Educt abrasive into stream Can cut extremely thick parts (5-10 inches possible) – Thickness achievable is a function of speed – Twice as thick will take more than twice as long Tight tolerances achievable – Current machines 0.002” (older machines much less capable 0.010” Jet will lag machine position .
