What is the thickest material the OMAX JetMachining Center can cut?
There is a practical limit, and a physical limit. (The Grand Canyon was essentially created with a natural abrasivejet.) The practical limit for most materials and conditions is about four inches thick. Thicker than that, and tolerances drop while machining times increase. For some projects, however, OMAX users have found it practical to machine material eight or more inches thick. Cutting titanium is one such application where OMAX customers report great profits at these high thicknesses. The physical limit is the maximum Z-axis travel, which is typically around 8 inches (20 cm) for most OMAX machines. The actual Z-axis travel will vary depending on options installed. Note that it is possible to cut parts that are thicker or taller than the maximum Z-axis travel by removing the slats and submerging the part in the catcher tank.
