A system for separating abrasive material from fluid used in fluid jet cutting includes a catcher tank, a settling tank and a pumping device which pumps fluid containing an abrasive material from the catcher tank and centrifugally separates an abrasive slurry from the fluid. A fluid conduit returns the fluid separated from the slurry to the cathcher tank. Another conduit directs the slurry to the settling tank where a portion of the abrasive material substantially settles from the slurry and, after settling has occurred, the slurry from which some of the abrasive material has settled is returned to the pumping device.
