    Darrin, Yes, I would be able to nest them to get the most out of the material. And you can do just as you described, give me a quantity and I could tell you what size sheet it would take to get them all cut up. Thanks again Darrin, I look forward to hearing from you.

    Ted, Glad to hear you figured something out to create a (hopefully) better DXF file. As for the PDF files, they import pretty perfectly in the OMAX CAD software. I guess because PDF have vector capabilities it is not a problem for the OMAX software to do a good job importing. I have imported...

    Just to follow up to Darrin's great question "What is the smallest size (length & width) sheet/plate that you can work with?" a jig can always be made to get the most out of smaller plates of material however what I illustrated is best case scenario and in general good advice to avoid some...

    Darrin, Thank you. I can scan a handmade blank and convert into a digital file, no problems. Send me an email jason@waterjetnj.com if you want to talk further about this.

Basically the software allows you to import from PDF and some other formats like DWG. If you contact me for an estimate and I work from one of your PDF files I have no...

    Andrew, 0.125" is not that thick so you should be able to achieve a pretty smooth finish on this, especially if you upped the quality to 5 (slowest, smoothest cut) but you could probably even get away with quality 2 or 3 depending on your desired outcome particularly because it's not that thick...

    Andrew, For other work outside of knifemaking I do cut phenolic and have cut G10 once or twice in the past. But it's best to never pierce these materials as they tend to "delaminate" when they are being pierce. I usually start from the outside of the material and cut into it to avoid having to...

    Hello all, I am a waterjet operator on an OMAX 60" x 120" bed, max. 60kpsi waterjet for over a decade now and have been cutting knife blades and handles for a few knifemakers over the past few years. I wanted to expand my reach and service to more knifemakers in the community so I am here to do...
