WAZER® Desktop/Standup Waterjet Cutter (110V/60Hz)

Product Description

The WAZER Desktop is the first to incorporate industrial waterjet cutting capabilities into one compact CNC system. This desktop-sized machine is engineered for accessibility and compact in-house fabrication, allowing the technology to be used in smaller labs, workshops, schools, and other space-conscious environments. It fits easily on a desk, workbench, or the WAZER Aluminum Stand, and provides an accessible way to make clean, professional-quality cuts in-house. All you need is a 4 ft × 4 ft operating area, a standard electrical outlet, a water source, and a floor drain or sink.

The WAZER Desktop is the first desktop-sized waterjet machine capable of cutting a variety of materials with digital precision. It features a high-velocity jet that uses high-pressure water and garnet abrasive particles to cut complex shapes from a wide range of materials. Whether it's steel, titanium, aluminum, glass, ceramic tile, stone, composites, plastics, rubber, or foam, the WAZER delivers consistent results. And because waterjetting is a cold-cutting process, there is no thermal distortion, melting, or discoloration to worry about.

With its compact size and professional cutting capabilities, the WAZER makes advanced digital fabrication accessible to small businesses, engineers, educators, and creators who may not have the space or budget for an industrial waterjet system. By bringing precision cutting in-house, users can reduce reliance on outsourced fabrication and produce custom parts on demand.

Which WAZER is best for your needs?

Cutting Performance

60-Minute Continuous Cutting
The WAZER Desktop is designed to cut continuously for up to one hour before requiring a cooldown period. This makes it practical for longer projects and production runs while maintaining reliable performance.

0.8 kW Hydraulic Power
The WAZER Desktop uses a compact, high-pressure pump system that generates enough hydraulic power to cut through hard materials. While it has a much smaller footprint than that of industrial waterjets, it delivers true abrasive waterjet cutting capability in a desktop size.

12" × 18" Cutting Area
The machine can cut parts from material sheets up to 12 inches by 18 inches. This size is well-suited for prototypes, custom components, product development, educational projects, artwork, and small-batch production.

0.044" Kerf Width
Kerf refers to the width of material removed during cutting. A narrow 0.044-inch kerf allows for detailed designs, intricate geometries, and efficient material usage while maintaining accurate part dimensions.

Material Capabilities

One of the biggest advantages of abrasive waterjet technology is its ability to cut many different materials using the same machine and cutting process.

Aluminum
Cuts aluminum up to 0.5 inches (13 mm) thick, making it suitable for brackets, fixtures, enclosures, signs, and prototype components.

Mild & Stainless Steel
Cuts steel materials up to 0.188 inches (5 mm) thick. Ideal for fabrication projects, machine components, sheet metal parts, and engineering prototypes.

Glass
Cuts glass up to 0.5 inches (13 mm) thick without introducing heat that could cause cracking or distortion.

Plastics
Handles many common plastics from thin sheet stock up to approximately 0.75 inches (18 mm) thick, depending on the material.

Composites
Cuts carbon fiber, fiberglass, and similar composite materials up to 0.313 inches (8 mm) thick while minimizing fraying and heat damage.

Tile & Stone
Cuts ceramic tile and similar materials up to 0.5 inches (13 mm) thick, making it useful for custom decorative work and architectural applications.

Rubber & Foam
Can process soft materials up to 0.75 inches (21 mm) thick for rubber and up to 1 inch (25.4 mm) thick for foam.

Abrasive System

80-Mesh Almandine Garnet
The WAZER uses 80-Mesh Garnet Abrasive, an industry-standard abrasive material known for its balance of cutting speed, edge quality, and material versatility. Garnet particles are mixed with the water stream to provide the cutting power needed for hard materials.

Abrasive Hopper
The WAZER Desktop's hopper holds 30 lb (13.6 kg) of dry garnet abrasive.

Abrasive Consumption
The machine uses approximately 0.33 pounds (0.15 kg) of garnet per minute during cutting. This operating cost should be considered when estimating project expenses.

Abrasive Collection
The cutting tank captures a portion of the used abrasive during operation. Periodic cleaning cycles help maintain performance and remove accumulated garnet from the system.

Tank Maintenance
Over time, spent abrasive collects inside the tank and must be removed. This is a normal maintenance requirement for abrasive waterjet systems.
