How much does the OMAX 2652 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc waterjet cutting in this class — not a quote from OMAX Corporation. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The OMAX 2652 is a compact waterjet cutting machine with 4′ 4″ x 2' 2″ (1.32 m x 0.66 m) of X-Y cutting travel, 8″ (203 mm) of Z travel and a 60,000 psi output pressure. It occupies a 12′ 1″ x 6′ 3″ (3.68 m x 1.91 m) footprint and stands 8′ (2.44 m) high, so it can go into a corner of a shop that could never give a full-sheet waterjet a bay of its own.
The table measures 5′ 9″ x 2' 6″ (1.75 m x 0.76 m), larger than the travel in both directions. Stock can overhang the cutting envelope and stay supported, but the part itself has to nest inside 1.32 m x 0.66 m. Material rests on 4″ x 1/8″ galvanized steel slats rated for 400 lbs/sq ft (1,950 kg/sq meter). Because that rating is per unit of area, check the heaviest plate you expect to load against it, not against a single total.
The step up from here is a big one. The 55100 has a 10'6" x 5'5" (3.20 m x 1.65 m) table. The 120X has a 21′ x 11′ 5″ (6.40 m x 3.48 m) table with the same 8″ (203 mm) of Z travel and the same 400 lbs/sq ft (1,950 kg/sq meter) rating, so the choice inside the family turns on sheet size and floor space, not on clearance or load capacity.
For installation, plan around the operating weight of 10,252 lb (4,650 kg), not the 4,300 lb (1,950 kg) the machine weighs with its tank empty. Electrical supply is 3-Phase, 380-480 VAC ±10%, 50-60 Hz. OMAX lists speed at 180 in/min (4.57 m/min), and ±0.001″ (±0.025 mm) for both linear positional accuracy and repeatability. Noise is given as below 80 dBA at one meter for submerged cutting.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 4′ 4″ x 2' 2″ (1.32 m x 0.66 m) of cutting travel inside a 12′ 1″ x 6′ 3″ (3.68 m x 1.91 m) footprint
- Linear positional accuracy of ±0.001″ (±0.025 mm), with the same figure listed for repeatability
- 8″ (203 mm) of Z travel, the same clearance the far larger 120X offers
- Table rated for 400 lbs/sq ft (1,950 kg/sq meter) on 4″ x 1/8″ galvanized steel slats
- Noise below 80 dBA at one meter for submerged cutting
Limitations
- Parts must nest inside 4′ 4″ x 2' 2″ (1.32 m x 0.66 m), so full sheets have to be cut down before they go on the table
- Operating weight is 10,252 lb (4,650 kg) against 4,300 lb (1,950 kg) with the tank empty; the floor has to be checked for the filled machine
- Needs a 3-Phase, 380-480 VAC supply; OMAX's table shows no single-phase alternative
- The table gives 60,000 psi output pressure but no pump power row, so the pump has to be specified separately

Frequently Asked Questions
01
X-Y cutting travel is 4′ 4″ x 2' 2″ (1.32 m x 0.66 m) and Z travel is 8″ (203 mm). The table itself is larger, 5′ 9″ x 2' 6″ (1.75 m x 0.76 m), so material can extend past the cutting area while still resting on the slats.
02
The footprint is 12′ 1″ x 6′ 3″ (3.68 m x 1.91 m) and the height is 8′ (2.44 m). It weighs 4,300 lb (1,950 kg) with the tank empty and 10,252 lb (4,650 kg) in operation. Move it at the first figure and design the floor for the second.
03
OMAX lists 3-Phase, 380-480 VAC ±10%, 50-60 Hz. No single-phase option appears in the table, so a building without three-phase power in that voltage range needs that resolved before the machine arrives.
04
Mainly by table size. The 2652 table is 5′ 9″ x 2' 6″ (1.75 m x 0.76 m). The 55100 table is 10'6" x 5'5" (3.20 m x 1.65 m) and the 120X table is 21′ x 11′ 5″ (6.40 m x 3.48 m). The 120X has the same 8″ (203 mm) Z travel and 400 lbs/sq ft (1,950 kg/sq meter) table rating as the 2652.
05
Linear positional accuracy is ±0.001″ (±0.025 mm) and repeatability is listed at the same ±0.001″ (±0.025 mm). Those are figures for the motion system; the finished edge of a part also depends on material, thickness and how the cut is set up.
