A while ago on American Chopper they were using a small water jet cutter. I have been trying to find info on water jet machines but the only ones I can find info on are half the size of my shop and are $300k. I know that a few list members have knowledge in this area. Do any of you know who makes smaller machines or as Mueller hinted to do you think that it was a custom unit built for them? Any info is much appreciated.

Hey Tony,

did it look like this?

4x4 waterjet

That looks exactly like the one on American Chopper. Is that really $300K?

here is a smaller unit which I'd hope would be much cheaper:

2626 waterjet

what, no top. Watch your fingernails, I mean fingers.

Google "OMAX". First link. Some of you MIGHT scroll down. The name's NOT that uncommon ........... The Cap'n

Ebay Water Jet

this one is a bit less than $300k

mommy, this flashlight makes my hands tingle, LOL

You can buy a 1500 watt laser with a 4X4 table for 200K brand new. How thick are your parts? What is the material? Omax makes a great waterjet.

I just talked to the company that sells the one Mueller posted. That is the one OCC uses. It runs about $100k

I think this may be a pipe dream for at least a few more years at this point.
