I have been considering buying an abrasive water jet for architectural/custom stone cutting. I currently sub this work out to a company with an Omax 55100. It seems to be a very good machine and the parts it make for me are perfect, however I am wondering if this is kinda overkill. If I were to buy an AWJ, maybe I should not spend so much as i do not need .003 on my parts? any opinions? what I would like is if some of you could help me out with a list of AWJ manufacturers (other than OMAX) so i can do some research and shop around a bit. advice, recommendations, etc. are welcome.
No matter what you do... a 50hp pump and bits and pieces and head are going to cost you $80k... before you even look at a table. Is that the road you want to go down for table tops?
