How much does the Wardjet X-Series Waterjet Cutting System cost?
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 X-Series Waterjet Cutting System is a 3-axis waterjet whose head is listed as compatible with both pure waterjet and abrasive cutting, fed by a 30 hp (22 kW) pump at a maximum operating pressure of 55,000 psi (3,792 bar). The listed figures on this page have not been checked against a specification table from the maker, so confirm each one in a quotation.
Switching between pure water and abrasive is the distinguishing row. Pure water handles soft sheet goods without abrasive consumption, and the abrasive side takes on metal: the listed maximum cutting depth is 75 mm in steel and 150 mm in aluminum. With 30 hp (22 kW) behind the nozzle, those depths are limits to be approached slowly, not everyday production thicknesses.
The axes are driven by servo motors with rack-and-pinion, and positioning repeatability is listed at ±0.1 mm. The abrasive hopper holds 68 kg. Programming is through Wardjet CAM with DXF/DWG import.
Settle two things before ordering. The electrical supply is listed as 208–480V / 3-phase, so state the voltage of your building. Then pin down the working envelope: cutting envelope options are listed from 1,500×1,500 mm to 2,000×3,000 mm, but other size rows in the listed figures do not agree with that range, and the travel of the configuration quoted is the only reliable number. CE and CSA certifications are listed.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Head is listed as pure waterjet and abrasive compatible, so one machine covers soft sheet goods and metal
- Maximum cutting depth of 75 mm in steel and 150 mm in aluminum
- Wardjet CAM software with DXF/DWG import
- Electrical supply listed as 208–480V / 3-phase
- CE and CSA certifications are listed
Limitations
- Maximum operating pressure is 55,000 psi (3,792 bar) on a 30 hp (22 kW) pump, which holds back cutting speed in thick metal
- The cutting head is 3-axis, so bevel cuts are not available
- Positioning repeatability is ±0.1 mm, and no accuracy figure is listed
- The 68 kg abrasive hopper will need refilling during long abrasive jobs

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Yes. The cutting head is listed as a 3-axis type that is pure waterjet and abrasive compatible. Pure water suits soft sheet goods and uses no garnet; the abrasive mode is the one for metal.
02
The listed maximum cutting depths are 75 mm in steel and 150 mm in aluminum. These are upper limits for a 30 hp (22 kW) pump at 55,000 psi (3,792 bar); cutting near them is slow.
03
The listed electrical supply is 208–480V / 3-phase. That is a range a machine can be built for, not something it switches between freely, so give the supplier your voltage and check the nameplate on delivery.
04
Wardjet CAM with DXF/DWG import handles programming. The axes run on servo motors with rack-and-pinion, and positioning repeatability is listed at ±0.1 mm. The abrasive hopper capacity is 68 kg.
