It is stored in advance so as to be smaller than the supply amount. Therefore, at the time of piercing on the workpiece, the control device 11 sets the opening of the opening 6a (6b) through the elongated holes 8a and 8b of the second valve member 8 to a small opening suitable for piercing. To the cutting process from the piercing process to the slotting process of the second valve member 8.

The opening and closing of a and 6b and the adjustment of the opening are performed automatically, so the work of adjusting the amount of abrasive supplied into the liquid due to changing the processing conditions of the work piece is simplified compared to the past. can do. In addition, since the supply amount of the abrasive into the liquid is changed between the piercing process and the cutting process, as in the conventional case, the supply amount of the abrasive in the liquid is too large and the piercing process is performed. The workpiece is not damaged.

る。In addition, in the abrasive tank 6 of the above embodiment, two accommodating portions 16 and 17 are provided so that different types of abrasives 18 and 19 are respectively provided.
However, the present invention can also be applied to an abrasive tank 6 having only a single accommodating portion as conventionally known. In that case, an air cylinder of ON / OFF control can be adopted instead of the servomotor 9 and the conversion mechanism 24 as a drive mechanism linked to the valve member 7.
