How much does the OMAX 80X 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 80X is listed as an abrasive waterjet with a 1,524 x 3,048 mm (5 x 10 ft) cutting area and 305 mm (12 in) of Z-axis travel. OMAX's current lineup has no model called the 80X, so the listed figures here serve mainly as a checklist for someone looking at a used machine.
The drive is listed as precision ball screw on linear bearings, with a maximum traverse speed of 12,700 mm/min (500 ipm). Positioning accuracy is ±0.076 mm (±0.003 in) and repeatability ±0.025 mm (±0.001 in). The gap between those two matters in practice: the machine returns to a point more closely than it holds an absolute dimension, so repeat batches from a proven program will match each other better than a one-off part will match its drawing.
The pump is an EnduroMAX direct-drive unit, listed as 30 HP or 50 HP, at a maximum pressure of 60,000 PSI (4,137 bar). Cutting head options are Standard, Tilt-A-Jet and A-Jet (5-axis), and an individual machine will have whichever was ordered, so the head and the pump rating are the two things to identify first. The 305 mm (12 in) of Z is generous next to the 8" (203 mm) of the 120X, and gives room for tall fixtures or an angled head. Software is Intelli-MAX (Layout, Make, Intelli-VISOR), abrasive is garnet with 80 mesh as standard, and weight is listed as approx. 4,082 kg (9,000 lbs).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 305 mm (12 in) of listed Z-axis travel
- Repeatability listed at ±0.025 mm (±0.001 in)
- Ball screw drive on linear bearings with 12,700 mm/min (500 ipm) maximum traverse
- Head options listed include Tilt-A-Jet and A-Jet (5-axis)
- EnduroMAX direct-drive pump at up to 60,000 PSI (4,137 bar)
Limitations
- Positioning accuracy is listed at ±0.076 mm (±0.003 in), three times the repeatability figure
- Pump is listed as 30 HP or 50 HP; a given machine has one or the other
- Tilt-A-Jet and A-Jet are options beside the Standard head, so check which head is actually fitted

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed cutting area is 1,524 x 3,048 mm (5 x 10 ft), with 305 mm (12 in) of Z-axis travel. Measure the travel on any machine you inspect, since these are listed figures and not ones confirmed for a specific unit.
02
The pump type is listed as EnduroMAX direct-drive, in 30 HP or 50 HP, with a maximum pressure of 60,000 PSI (4,137 bar). The two ratings cut at different rates, so read the pump's own plate before judging what the machine will produce.
03
Only with the right head. The cutting head options are listed as Standard, Tilt-A-Jet and A-Jet (5-axis). A machine with the Standard head cuts vertical profiles; the A-Jet is the option identified as 5-axis.
04
Positioning accuracy is listed at ±0.076 mm (±0.003 in) and repeatability at ±0.025 mm (±0.001 in). The drive is listed as precision ball screw with linear bearings, and its condition on an older machine is worth checking because both figures depend on it.
