Abstract

The invention provides a method and apparatus relating to fluid cutting in which a cutting jet of fluid (8) is directed through a nozzle (2) on a jet path, the jet path passing through a cutting zone in which a work piece (10) is placed in use and subsequently to a baffle area (16), the baffle area providing a baffle element which deflects the jet from the jet path on to a deflected path, the atmospheric pressure being greater in the area of the cutting jet path prior to deflection than in the area of the jet on the deflected path. In this way, the invention provides for reduced generation of spray or aerosols and/or assists in containing and removing such spray and/or aerosols from the air.
