Cut your hand off with a 1mm pin nozzle, acts like a laser. The pump is basically a large fire engine pump, they just restrict the flow in the lance. 5 piston pump, driven via a 5 speed box on a V12 diesel, all in a container on the back of a truck. Water fed by fire hydrants.
I remember first time I really got to appreciate the impact of it. Normally its 1" thick cold steel your blasting so its just knowing it that keeps you alert. I cleaned some pipes sitting on railway sleepers with a rotary nozzle which has less impact, a wider surface area is cleaned, took a strip of the timber away about 0.5cm deep by maybe 8cm wide in one pass. That was using maybe 10,000psi IIRC.
Nth Sunshine, well thats classy for ya
: , I was the other way. The less friendly end. We rode around the quarries, white hills and paddocks to Boundary Rd, which last I saw were mostly stores.
We used to ride to Baccus Marsh, couldnt do that now I suppose.
