My Machine will not move Left or Right. I get an error on the X Axis A91. I checked the fuses they check good. Any Idea. Thanks

Does anyone know if there is a formula for calculating the linear speed for the head and pierce dwell times? I know there are a lot of variables, but I didn't know if there might be a single formula to plug numbers in. I am using 55,000 psi. Thanks.

I am looking for feedback from Waterjet operators only. No sales people please. Do any operators have suggestions on table bricks and has anyone used the bricks manufacted by MDI? We cut plastic sheeting in patterns of 10,8, and 6 feet so there is constant repeating on the bricks. Thanks Scott

Anyone know the steps to attaching a camera to take pics of the objects on the waterjet. This must be to scale and i must import it to autocad. This is so i don't have to write down the coordinates every single time I cut something.
