Fantastic addition to the Make Everything Shop! I'm sure you've inspired many to upgrade their home shops through the course of your RU-vid career and I wish you all the best in the coming years. Cheers! Zip~

@PuzzleboxProps 6 лет назад

Great Vid. Im kinda excited again now. Im in on the first batch and was getting a little cold on the whole thing due to how long its been taking and the cost to run. Im into knife making too and even tho it doesnt seem amazingly cost effective it will still be great for r&d.

@MakeEverything 6 лет назад

I can’t speak to anyone else’s work flow, but I know for me, as a single entity running my own shop this thing is gonna pay for itself fast. It’s weird to have a machine tell you how much a part is gonna cost but once you step back and think about your time + other consumables to make things the wazer cost is actually pretty low. For instance this cut two titanium frame lock sides for me out of .120 6AL4V titanium in about 60 minutes, that cost me $30 in garnet but saved me a $15 bandsaw blade $10 in belts, and potentially blowing up a $75 carbide slitting saw, and probably 2/3 hours in time to drill screw holes and profile the sides. For that application the wazer is unbeatable. I hope you enjoy your machine!

@PuzzleboxProps 6 лет назад

for sure!

@GenEmperor 5 лет назад

@melgross 5 лет назад

It seems nice. But if it took 15 minutes to cut that tiny piece, how long will it take to cut something usefully larger? So now we have plasma cutters, laser cutters, water jets, and the good old milling machines. Quite a choice.

I noticed not one person that does a video on these machines cutting refuses to show them cut in real time. They probably cut slower than molasses. This took 15mins to cut!? I was really excited when i first learned about these machines, but i suspect there a lot thats not being said about them that probably makes them a bare to own. I think I'll go with plasma.

@mikegager 6 лет назад

looking at their website it appears a $79 55lb bucket of the garnett abrasive only lasts about 2.75hrs of run time. if that little keychain took 15 minutes i could see this being quite expensive to run full time. is that the norm for water jets? is there cheaper abrasives available?

@MakeEverything 6 лет назад

It’s definitely not as cost effective per part as a commercial grade water jet, but a large water jet is gonna be 100k plus. For me as a Knifemaker it basically allows me to double my productivity by having it cut blanks while I work on other things. I will be buying abrasive by the pallet which makes it about $0.50 per lb. at that rate I can cut a blank for under $20 that would normally take me an hour, plus the consumable cost of wearing out bandsaw blades and drill bits. I charge more than that per hour for my time so it’s absolutely worth it. It’s certainly does not seem cheap up front, but you can always make more money, and you can’t make more time.

@dimitrioslykissas7981 6 лет назад

Make Everything I basically agree with all your points, about time being essentially invaluable and how you can trade money for an increase in productivity, making more money in turn. All that said, that $20/h still sounds like a humongous expense to me. I'm a hobbyist, and not a very successful one so far, but in the span of an hour I can cut and drill 4 blanks, at a fraction of that $20, even if I throw away a Cobalt drill-bit afterwards (I don't). If you're making skmething like 10-15 knives a day, all by yourself, then this expense makes sense if you want to keep working solo. Otherwise it feels like you're paying for a convenience, which is a totally valid thing for a pro to do, but it is completely different from what I think you're saying.

@gslavik 6 лет назад

What does it cost to deliver a pallet to you? (If you don't mind answering). For under 5k for a complete waterjet machine, completely insane! (and affordable)

@MakeEverything 6 лет назад

Dogbert for me in NY a 2200lb pallet delivered is $950, at under $0.50 a lb is makes parts MUCH more affordable to cut. 2200lbs seems like a lot of material buts it’s only 40 bags, it wouldn’t be too hard to store that amount of material...

@4ageminor 6 лет назад

If you want to speed up production and lower operating costs, look into the Langmuir Systems CrossFire. It’s only $1250 (1750 with plasma cutter) and it will cut out a knife blank in less than a minute.You would need to leave about .060 of stock on the blades edge and then remove it via grinding after plasma cutting. This is to remove the heat affected zone so that the edge can be properly hardened later on.

It's not that hard to look up! No need to get ugly. Anyway, he bought it early in Kickstarter, meaning it cost him about half what the retail is, so his answer will be meaningless to you. I bought mine through Kickstarter and it cost about $5,000, but it was later than his, yet not full retail.

@jakegingrich7214 4 года назад

Considering an industrial waterjet set up is about 150k, is say this is a low operating cost. Also it was definatly not designed to be an industrial machine in the first place so its not going to have the capabilities of one. But for a small shop /home to have a cnc cutter that can cut any type of hard material. I think it looks like a great buy. It may cut a bit slow but again your only spending 8k not 150k.

The art of buy, process- and sell. Buy a piece of 1 USD metal, process it (for a fantastic knife or perhaps a unique monogram) and sell it for 100 USD. Then suddenly we talk about 400 dollars/h.

I was disappointed with this video. There was so much more that needed to be explained. What was the total cost of the machine, shipping and setup? What did you have to do to prepare for this addition to your workshop? What about the software? You described very little and did not show us anything about it. Is it newb friendly or does this have a big learning curve? I am considering a portable water jet as I think it might be a viable alternative to paying a manufacturer to produce certain products. I was hoping this video would be useful, unfortunately it has left me with more questions than answers.

StraitD2 i don’t recall it being $1200 ever, I paid about $4300 in the batch I purchased on Kickstarter. That being said I believe the price is $7500 at the moment, not $9000. Either way, I agree it’s not for everyone, but for operating a small business it’s absolutely been worth it for me.
