How much did it cost? I’m thinking of having one put in a 2 car garage. Any advice on placement for easy access for maintenance?

@@AwesomeProjects20 if not on their site, ask for a floorplan layout for the pump and machine placement. Pump has hard-line to machine and discharge tubes. Don't get the filtration bag or whatever it's called that is a separate unit with a pneumatic pump. There is a minimum for the offset back distance of the setup and wish we did maybe another foot or 2 because when the Yaxis is all the way back the high pressure hard-line touches some material we store back there. Leave enough room on the right side of the machine to add media to the main hopper.

Hi Nathan, Hypertherm has a nice waterjet feed rate calculator at waterjet-calculator.hypertherm.com/ that has a lengthy list of materials. After selecting your pump horsepower, material and thickness, you can choose your nozzle/orifice combination, abrasive flow rate and cutting pressure and then it will give you a suggested Q5-Q1 range. Over on the right-hand side, it will also show you information like estimated cost per hour, cost per inch and piercing times.

@@Wardjet Thanks so much Jeff! I saw the tutorial you posted as well. Very helpful as always! I try not to miss any of your posts or webinars.

Hi Paul - the cost of the machine depends on location and various customization factors. For an accurate estimate, please call us at 1-844-WARDJET or complete an online contact form here www.wardjet.com/get-a-quote/ . Thank you!

Too much if they cant give a starting price. Thats always a sign a salesman needs to pressure the buyer.

@@glennedward2201 good point

Hi Akshay - We would suggest test cuts to determine optimum speed, orifice size, and pressure. Please email [email protected] and we can arrange this.

How's it going?

You're welcome, Kimberly.

Hi Kyle, thanks for asking that question. Our waterjets are customizable to each customer, so providing a “preliminary” price wouldn’t provide the real value for the type of machine that suits your specific business needs. What is preliminary for you may not preliminary for another customer in a different part of the world. We encourage you to either call us at 1-844-WARDJET, send an email to [email protected], or fill out the online contact form wardjet.com/get-in-touch. Thanks again for reaching out.

100% agreed ! Why can't they at least state a BASE price?

Thank you.
