*As low as $20/hr for 30 hp 0.01 orefice. Cut rate - 7 ipm for 1/2" mild steel with 30 hp, total operating cost $12/hr. 2 largest costs are 1/2 garnet, 1/2 pump/head parts. [https://waterjet-calculator.hypertherm.com/]. Lowest cost is 15 hp at $11/hr.
**With 32 feet of cut per hour - this is decent for 1/2" steel. Can be a main production tool.

hi Marcin ,


Just to fwd you my post ( from OSE workshops facebook page) , it might be interesting for CNC Torch Team future plans:

recent video "Waterjet cutter built with a cheap pressure washer " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lg__B6Ca3jc

, by famous applied science mr http://benkrasnow.blogspot.nl

I see you have started collecting info for water jet  : http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/Water_Jet_Cutter

Best, Branko
