Abstract
In a cutting system, a cutting system receptacle device and method of using it for receiving a cutting jet emerging from a work piece being cut, as well as receiving and retaining waste materials or debris. A cutting system receptacle device includes a generally hollow opened-top container, partially filled with a fluid such as water, for receiving and absorbing, at least partially, the heat and energy of the impinging waste materials. A diverter on the inside bottom wall of the receptacle, separates the flow of excess material into two substantially symmetrical, side-by-side, interior chambers of the receptacle. A plurality of deflectors, direct upwardly flowing streams within the receptacle, back downwardly therewithin, for causing them to be retained therewithin. A stand pipe maintains the level of the fluid inside the receptacle device at a predetermined optimal height for a given cutting operation.
