Hello.
We are in the process of trying to buy a waterjet. We are getting quotes for new 5x10 machines at around 140-200k. Can you please tell me what part of the machine is so expensive? I am looking at omax maxien machines and they dont look more complex or more robust than a cheapish cnc router? Is it the pump? I ask this because I want to know where the cost lies. I have an lb 3000 lathe and that thing at 160k is built like a tank.
Thank you.
