• A cut’s taper may be an issue. If the abrasive waterjet’s normal taper is out of acceptable tolerances,
then consider using a Tilt-A-Jet.
• Adequately secure the material to prevent movement. It may weigh 800 pounds, but when it’s hit with
50,000 pounds of water pressure, it can move!
• Cut a one inch square in a piece of one inch steel. Do the same by cutting a circle. A close
examination of these two parts should reveal if an axis is out of tolerance. Cut a part using 4 separate
3" movements in one direction followed by a 12" return movement. There should be 4 moves out and
one move back! Verify that the nozzle returned to the exact starting location without loosing steps.
Repeat this for both axis.
• When convinced that all of the above checks are functioning accurately and the machine’s positioning
accuracy remains an issue, contact OMAX Customer Service.
