High degree Abrasive Jet (AJ) is applied in Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM) as a process that is based of Machine-driven Energy (MDE). The abrasives are applied in the removal of resources from work surfaces based on impact erosion. AJ is generated through the acceleration of very fine abrasive particles in considerably gas that has been pressurizes i.e. carrier gas. In this case, jets are utilized to transform this pressurized energy into kinetic energy, which is also directs jets to the work surfaces at an impingement angle. During the impact, rigid abrasive particles are used to slowly remove resources through erosion and with the assistance of brittle fracture. This paper evaluates and recommends a design for AJM. The various components have also been chosen after the relevant design assessment procedures have been done. The AJM model has been design with reference to the present components.
