Affordable, Industrial-Grade Waterjet
Simple operation, paired with superior Purple Platypus customer service, will ensure that your waterjet machine is well-utilized.
The ProtoMAX abrasive waterjet is the only compact waterjet that delivers high-performance with nearly any material. With an accuracy of ±0.005 in., you can cut parts in a matter of minutes. The versatile unit integrates both the cutting components and pump into a small footprint, making it ideal for light commercial applications, personal workspaces, and classroom workshops.
With a clamshell cover and submerged cutting, ProtoMAX is a safe and quiet iteration of an industrial abrasive waterjet. Built by OMAX, the largest waterjet manufacturer in the US, the waterjet is incredibly reliable. If you’re looking for a simple-to-use waterjet with advanced capabilities, the ProtoMAX is right for you.

Cut Virtually Anything
Advanced waterjet software, paired with a 30,000 psi pump, makes the ProtoMAX the most efficient waterjet cutting tool for its size. The ProtoMAX can cut almost everything – metal, plastic, glass, wood, and more!
Designed To Fit In Your Space
From machine shops to classroom style workshops, the ProtoMAX waterjet is the perfect addition to your space. Casters on the bottom of the machine allow for easy movement.
FAQ
Pressurized water is directed into a fine stream that accelerates garnet particles into and subsequently through the material you are trying to cut.
Yes, the Intelli-MAX software makes it easy to import files. File extensions that can be imported into LAYOUT (and in some instances use Intelli-TRACE) to create tool paths include: .dwg, .dxf, .ord, .pdf, .svg, .ai. If you have any questions about your file extension options, contact our team!
The ProtoMAX system requires a 240VAC / 30A power source and access to water and a drain. The power requirement is similar to a household clothing dryer and is required to drive the 5 horsepower pump. Water temperature and quality can impact how well the ProtoMAX runs. While the ProtoMAX functions over a wide range of temperatures and water conditions, the following is recommended for optimal operation:
- Temperature: 45 – 80°F
- pH Level: 6.5 – 8.5
- Total Dissolved Solids < 250 ppm
- Calcium < 17ppm
- Magnesium < 6 ppm
- Iron < 0.3 ppm
- Manganese < 0.05 ppm
- Chloride < 100 ppm
- Sulfate < 200 ppm
- Silica < 10 ppm
The ProtoMAX uses 0.42 gallons per minute while cutting, which is a combination of high pressure and cooling water.
The machine operates at around 76db when cutting under water.
Yes. The ProtoMAX table and pump are equipped with casters to make moving easier. Keep in mind that moving the unit will require duplicating many of the installation procedures in the new location.
