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
The OMAX 80160 is listed as a large bridge-type abrasive waterjet with a cutting area of approx. 2,032 x 4,064 mm (80 x 160 in) and room for up to four cutting heads working at once. It is not part of OMAX's current lineup, and the listed figures should be confirmed against any individual machine.
The multi-head arrangement is what distinguishes it. The gantry is listed as a full bridge with dual-side support, and the pump row gives EnduroMAX direct-drive with multiple units for multi-head use. Running several heads multiplies output on batches of identical parts, but each head needs its own share of pump flow, so the number of pumps on a machine tells you how many heads it can really feed. Maximum pressure is 60,000 PSI (4,137 bar), through an orifice of 0.010–0.014 in (0.25–0.36 mm).
Head options are Standard abrasive, Tilt-A-Jet and A-Jet, the last listed as 5-axis to 60 deg. Z-axis travel is 305 mm (12 in). The thickness rows are more cautious than that travel suggests: 50 mm (2 in) of mild steel at production speed and 150 mm (6 in) of stone.
Positioning accuracy is listed at ±0.076 mm (±0.003 in), repeatability at ±0.025 mm (±0.001 in) and maximum traverse speed at 12,700 mm/min (500 ipm). Electrical supply is 200–230 VAC or 380–480 VAC 3-phase 50/60 Hz, and the machine weight is approx. 9,072 kg (20,000 lbs).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Up to four cutting heads working simultaneously, as listed
- Listed cutting area of approx. 2,032 x 4,064 mm (80 x 160 in)
- Full bridge gantry with dual-side support
- A-Jet head option listed as 5-axis to 60 deg
- 305 mm (12 in) of Z-axis travel
Limitations
- Mild steel is listed at 50 mm (2 in) at production speed, well short of the 305 mm (12 in) Z travel
- Multi-head cutting depends on multiple pump units, so a machine with fewer pumps cannot run every head
- Positioning accuracy is listed at ±0.076 mm (±0.003 in)
- Machine weight of approx. 9,072 kg (20,000 lbs) needs a floor check

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table lists up to four simultaneous cutting heads, with EnduroMAX direct-drive pumps in multiple units for multi-head work. On a used machine, count both the heads and the pumps: the heads fitted and the pump capacity behind them decide what it can do, not the maximum in the table.
02
Two materials are listed: mild steel to 50 mm (2 in) at production speed, and stone to 150 mm (6 in). Z-axis travel is 305 mm (12 in), which is clearance under the head and not a cutting capacity.
03
Standard abrasive, Tilt-A-Jet and A-Jet. The A-Jet is described as 5-axis to 60 deg. These are options, so each machine has the head or heads it was ordered with.
04
The electrical row lists 200–230 VAC or 380–480 VAC 3-phase 50/60 Hz, so confirm which voltage a given machine is built for. Machine weight is listed as approx. 9,072 kg (20,000 lbs), and the listed cutting area alone is approx. 2,032 x 4,064 mm (80 x 160 in).
