Re: Waterjet/Laser cutters in-house?

I think it is repeatable. OMAX is very interested in getting waterjets into educational settings and I think they would be very receptive to helping.
They were actually working on a very small machine for that market but they do not have it in production yet. The issue is getting a small pump to operate it. The present pump is substantial and runs on 440 volts. If they can do something smaller it would rally help the footprint.

Of course it didn't hurt that the main office is just 40 minutes away in our case but it is doable.... if anyone is interested in pursuing this just message me and I can put you with the right people at OMAX
