This page contains information relating to the OMAX waterjet cutter.
Important Safety Reminders
- DO NOT use the machine unless someone has trained you to use it properly.
- NEVER put your hands near the nozzle if the pre-charge pump is on. Always turn off the pre-charge pump when the jet is not in use.
- NEVER put your hands near the slats without wearing cut-resistant gloves.
- In case of injury, call 911, and take one of the injury treatment instructions cards located to the left of the OMAX computer with you to the hospital.

OMAX Purchasing
Talk to Steve, Nick, or Widagdo about purchasing waterjet stuff. If something breaks on the waterjet, don't just walk away! Fix it, or let someone know.
- Garnet: Garnet abrasive is purchased from Barton Mines. Call Stephen Podnorszki at (800) 741-7756, ext. 252. The cost is roughly 0.25/lb, and we order 1 ton at a time.
- Clamps: The clamps used to hold parts in the basin are called Quick-Grip Bar Clamps/Spreaders. They can be ordered from McMaster (see last section of link)
- Waterjet Parts: Nozzles, mixing disks, jewels, foam muffs, etc. can be ordered directly from OMAX or Barton Mines.
- Nozzles (a.k.a. Mixing Tube): McMaster 4165A17, or Barton WO300766
- Sacrificial Material: Any material will do, so a cheap alloy of aluminum may be your best bet. Item 88685K51 from McMaster is good, for example.
