Actually used abrasive can be used effectively if you slow the rate of travel. Time is money and ultimately cost more in time per part, but you are not incurring the cost of new abrasive.
We have been using this in an educational setting now for about a year and are not happy with it. Constantly unclogging the abrasive. Rarely get it to work on the first try. If I had the opportunity to purchase again I unfortunately would not.
Reviews are supposed to tell how well the product works, and what it's like to use it. This isn't a review, it's just a reel of stock footage and a reading of specifications from the website
I've got a seller who is upgrading their testlab with a massive industrial waterjet. They no longer need their Wazer, it's 2021 low hours. Let me know if you're interested.
I would like to make knives. So it has to cut 4 millimetres thick steel. Is this possible? It also should cut 2 centimetres thick wood. Best wishes Nic
I mean, thats very subjective to task and usage. The machine uses a third of a pound per minute. If you buy a pallet of abrasive, its roughly $8-$10 an hour in abrasive costs (at least with what local U.S. abrasive costs are here). Now think about the type of companies that can benefit from this. There are man companies that outsource these simple cuts. What is $10 an hour to prototype and cut things on your own at home? And if you are using it for production use, certain materials like thin aluminum, glass, and other softer materials, its VERY cost effective.
I was hoping by now wazer (BTW horrible name) would be out with their next gen system, faster and double the size. Like Glow Forge, where is the next gen?
I've never used it but I saw the kickstarter and its probably a piece of garbage. The main issue is the pump is really low pressure so you will use a ton of garnet to make cuts. This machine will be really expensive to run.
Usually commercial water jets I have used may be as high as 50,000 psi. Maintenance costs are high, water pump rebuilds too frequent, and the cost of the Ruby or Diamond nozzles are typically $200-500 per unit with not many hours of use at high psi's Garnet isn't cheap either! The water in the base tank that catches all the Garnet gets rancid too, and cleaning out a big machine without an auto clean out feature is a a lot of work. Rancid water is also a good source of serious bacterial infections, you have to be very careful. Hand pumping out a full size machine and shoveling out Garnett into a dumpser is a lot of hard, smelly work.
Really, this is a pretty cheap machine. I saw the original prototype a while ago. $10k for a water jet, even one this size is pretty da,n good. I expect the first gen to have some problems. This is where the home 3D and laser cut business was 10 years ago. Give it some time and a couple of new models
Can you please elaborate as to what you find to be wrong with it? I'm very interested to know the short-comings of the machine, as (in theory) it would work very well for my use case.
@@bluehornet6752I don’t have any experience with this machine in particular, but lots of “hobby sized” machines have serious shortcomings compared to the industrial ones they mimic. If I were you I’d evaluate whether you really need this machine in your workshop when suppliers like send cut send offer really good prices and short lead times custom parts. There’s the value of your own time to consider as well. Do you want to fiddle with setups and machine maintenance or just upload a CAD file and swipe a credit card?

I hate to say it, but that's kinda how it goes with waterjets. They require a LOT of maintenance so this isn't really a Wazer issue
True.
@@vileCR999 yeap... I had a flow 50k PSI pump and nothing but issues.
Can it cut AR steel
Can wazer waterjet cut transparent glass with a smooth finish to cut edges? Can chamfers be given to the edges with this machine?

RUclips is full of this A.I. trash now unfortunately
Does this wazer has a mobile app.
I am a Metal artist, this would make amazing addition with my artwork, just have too keep saving up money too get one😄😄😄

Please , can the machine cut stainless steel plate with a thickness of 0.1 to 0.4 mm?
I would like to make knives. So it has to cut 4 millimetres thick steel. Is this possible? It also should cut 2 centimetres thick wood.

Why is the abrasive additive so expensive. It really makes cutting costly.
I mean, thats very subjective to task and usage. The machine uses a third of a pound per minute. If you buy a pallet of abrasive, its roughly $8-$10 an hour in abrasive costs (at least with what local U.S. abrasive costs are here). Now think about the type of companies that can benefit from this. There are man companies that outsource these simple cuts. What is $10 an hour to prototype and cut things on your own at home?

Any chance they are offering a discount with a code from your channel? Let us know. We are interested.
Hi Eric, please share with us your email or phone number to discuss the offer 🙌
Power is it 2200 brs constant ?
Why cant i find this on amazon.
I was hoping by now wazer (BTW horrible name) would be out with their next gen system, faster and double the size. Like Glow Forge, where is the next gen?
Maybe “Gayzer”??🤩
Anyone know the minimum Kerf. ?
How much this machine??
Anyone know how much it costs?
$10k
I was in until I saw cloud based software. No thanks. Don’t need a $$$ paperweight.
LoL…Same Here! I instantly hit STOP!!!
Good luck guys. Easier said than done.
Thanks for this comment. I found one for $4,000 and was going to buy it but I didn't realize it uses cloud software. Not interested
Question from a newbie. Why is cloud based software bad?

@@johnkemas7344 Seriously? You think garnets can get rancid?
Prices are "exorbitant," not "exuberant."
Cool, $10,000 is quite a bit. I’d spend $5

god damn.... 20lbs an hour of garnet abrasive.....
Painfully slow waterjet it's like watching paint dry
Wazer water jet
Just give us the imperial numbers
The world is metric. Except in the American regime.
Been there done it, what a crock of shite tHis machine is
