How much does the OMAX 2652 Jet Machining Center cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc waterjet cutting in this class — not a quote from OMAX. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
With ±0.001″ (±0.025 mm) listed for both linear positional accuracy and repeatability, the OMAX 2652 Jet Machining Center is built for small, accurate parts. X-Y cutting travel is 4′ 4″ x 2' 2″ (1.32 m x 0.66 m), Z travel is 8″ (203 mm) and output pressure is 60,000 psi.
Speed is listed at 180 in/min (4.57 m/min). On an envelope with 1.32 m on its long axis the moves between features are short, so that figure has less influence on cycle time than it would on a large table. What decides throughput here is cutting rate in the material, which the table does not state.
A waterjet's weight is mostly what fills its tank. This one weighs 4,300 lb (1,950 kg) empty and 10,252 lb (4,650 kg) in operation, so rigging can be planned around the lighter figure and the floor slab around the heavier one. The machine covers 12′ 1″ x 6′ 3″ (3.68 m x 1.91 m) and is 8′ (2.44 m) tall.
Work sits on a 5′ 9″ x 2' 6″ (1.75 m x 0.76 m) bed of 4″ x 1/8″ galvanized steel slats rated at 400 lbs/sq ft (1,950 kg/sq meter). The 120X Jet Machining Center carries that same rating and the same 8″ (203 mm) of Z on a 21′ x 11′ 5″ (6.40 m x 3.48 m) table, which shows what the smaller machine gives up: area, and nothing else in those rows.
The supply requirement is 3-Phase, 380-480 VAC ±10%, 50-60 Hz. OMAX gives the noise level as below 80 dBA at one meter for submerged cutting.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- ±0.001″ (±0.025 mm) for linear positional accuracy and for repeatability
- 60,000 psi output pressure on a machine only 12′ 1″ x 6′ 3″ (3.68 m x 1.91 m) in plan
- The 5′ 9″ x 2' 6″ (1.75 m x 0.76 m) slat bed is larger than the 4′ 4″ x 2' 2″ (1.32 m x 0.66 m) travel, so stock stays supported past the cut area
- Slats carry 400 lbs/sq ft (1,950 kg/sq meter), the rating the 120X Jet Machining Center also has
- Weighs 4,300 lb (1,950 kg) with the tank empty, which keeps rigging it into place simple
Limitations
- Long-axis travel stops at 4′ 4″ (1.32 m) and the short axis at 2' 2″ (0.66 m)
- Speed is listed at 180 in/min (4.57 m/min), and no cutting-rate or pump-power figure appears in the table
- In operation the machine weighs 10,252 lb (4,650 kg), more than twice its empty weight
- Three-phase power at 380-480 VAC is required

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The headline figures match. Both are listed with 8″ (203 mm) of Z travel, a 5′ 9″ x 2' 6″ (1.75 m x 0.76 m) table and a table rating of 400 lbs/sq ft (1,950 kg/sq meter).
02
Use the operating weight, 10,252 lb (4,650 kg). The 4,300 lb (1,950 kg) figure is the machine with its tank empty and is the one that matters for the forklift or crane on delivery day. Add the material on the table, which the slats support at up to 400 lbs/sq ft (1,950 kg/sq meter).
03
Anything that fits inside 4′ 4″ x 2' 2″ (1.32 m x 0.66 m) in plan, with 8″ (203 mm) of Z travel above the slats. A larger blank can rest on the 5′ 9″ x 2' 6″ (1.75 m x 0.76 m) table, but the nozzle only reaches the travel area.
04
The electrical requirement is 3-Phase, 380-480 VAC ±10%, 50-60 Hz. The noise level is given as below 80 dBA at one meter for submerged cutting, meaning with the cut taking place under water in the tank.
