Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc waterjet cutting in this class — not a quote from WARDJet. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The WARDJet A-Series 2560 is a small-format abrasive waterjet with a listed cutting area of 635 x 1,524 mm (25 x 60 in). WARDJet's current pages do not show this model, so treat what follows as a description of an older machine and check any example against its own documentation.
The listed figures pair that narrow table with a pump of 30–60 hp (22–45 kW) running at up to 60,000 psi (4,137 bar), with the pump brand selectable. Cutting thickness is given as up to 152 mm (6 in) depending on material, and cutting speed as up to 5,080 mm/min (200 in/min) on thin materials. Those two limits are never reached together: thick sections cut far below the top feed. Positioning accuracy is listed at ±0.076 mm (±0.003 in).
The 635 mm (25 in) width decides whether the machine fits the work. Wide sheet has to be cut down before it goes on, so this is a table for blanks, offcuts and small plates up to 1,524 mm (60 in) long. Weight is listed as approx. 2,300 kg (5,000 lb) with full tank and garnet, which is the number to plan the floor around. Programs come from the PC-based WARD CAM/Control or from third-party CAM via a post-processor.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Pump range of 30–60 hp (22–45 kW) at up to 60,000 psi (4,137 bar), with the pump brand selectable
- Listed positioning accuracy of ±0.076 mm (±0.003 in)
- Takes programs from the PC-based WARD CAM/Control or from third-party CAM through a post-processor
- Weight is stated in working condition: approx. 2,300 kg (5,000 lb) with full tank and garnet
Limitations
- Cutting area is 635 x 1,524 mm (25 x 60 in), so anything wider than 635 mm (25 in) must be cut down before loading
- The 152 mm (6 in) thickness limit depends on material, and the 5,080 mm/min (200 in/min) speed applies to thin materials only
- No Z travel, repeatability or rapid rate appears in the listed figures

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed cutting area is 635 x 1,524 mm (25 x 60 in). Length is rarely the constraint; the 635 mm (25 in) width is, so plan on pre-cut strips, blanks and small plates instead of whole sheets.
02
The listed figures give a range, not one pump: 30–60 hp (22–45 kW) at up to 60,000 psi (4,137 bar), with the pump brand selectable. On a used machine, identify the pump actually fitted, because its power sets how fast a given thickness cuts.
03
Up to 152 mm (6 in) depending on material, according to the listed figures. The top cutting speed of 5,080 mm/min (200 in/min) is quoted for thin materials, so expect feed to fall steeply as thickness rises.
