CNC Machine Experiment: Drilling Pennies with Abrasive Water

We put modern engineering up against a stack of pennies. A waterjet and a hydraulic press were used in this video. We tried cutting the metal pennies with just water, then we did water mixed with the abrasive sand. I thought both were interesting and pretty impressive. We then saw inside the pennies and could see the ones made of just copper. Then we used the press to crush the pennies. We filmed this in 4k, did you watch it in 4k? Did you know it costs the government more to make a penny than they actually are worth? Send us something to cut in half!!! 735 W 200 N North Salt Lake, UT 84054 USA Our Instagram is now live!
