Protective eyewear must be worn during operation! Water cut parts may have sharp edges, gloves are recommended when handling.

NB
Beregn god tid ved bruk av vannjetkutteren og sett deg godt inn i virkemåte før bruk.
Vannjet kutteren er en maskin med mange mekaniske komponenter, som virker sammen i et krevende miljø. Det er lett å gjøre brukerfeil, som gjerne resulterer i merarbeid eller vrakproduksjon og den trenger ofte daglig service før og etter bruk.
A water jet cutter is a CNC tool to cut through a wide range of materials in 2D, using highly pressurized water and abrasive. Omega Verksted has a desktop-format abrasive water jet cutter from Wazer.

Can I engrave with the water jet cutter?
No. The machine is built such that the high pressure sand/water jet is slowed and dissipated in a water pool underneath the cut bed during cutting. If you were to cut with cutting parameters too low to fully penetrate the material, the jet would instead continue be redirected back towards the nozzle and the upper cutting chamber, resulting in massively increased wear to the machine. This "engraving hack" is therefore not allowed.
