Hello.
We are in the market for a 5x10 waterjet. We can get an Maxiem without the 5 axis head or a Ward with one for almost the same money. I want to know if those of you that have it regret buying one and those of you who dont, the opposite. We are a job shop that will cut everything, mainly film and art work. I like the idea of one because I can take out taper without slowing down the machine. I know that doing so keeps the cut quality lower but at least in my case I would rather take out rougher cuts then taper. I alos like having that ability in reserve, chamfers an countersinks and so on.
I know that OMAX has good service and software and that Ward is owned by AXIZ so thats why OMAX is still in the game.
Thank you
