I bought a very lightly used NM-135 v2.1(?) about a year ago. I've gotten a lot of use of out of it so far, but I'm wondering about what general maintenance should, or can be performed on it. Aside...

Well, I'm happy to report the factory splash guard failed today, while the WJS piece continues to serve it's purpose.

Doesn't seem to be much interest in the waterjet section on CNCzone, but I'll...

Well, we've been running the orang-ish looking colored one from the first picture for about 4 months straight now on an 80X w/ an EnduroMax pump running just under 50k pressure. One job we ran last...

What kind of pump, how much pressure are you trying to push through it. I see you mention Rotec 100? We don't use anything buy Rotec 500 nozzles, and typically see anywhere from 1-2 months of good...

Have you checked the on/off valves? They are air actuated to open/close. If they aren't being actuated, something like what you are describing would happen.

There should be two, one in the pump...

Wondering what you guys are using for nozzle splash reduction? After quite a bit of searching, I find the options are pretty limited. The foam ones don't last long, and the rubber ones are pretty...

From what I understand, when Omax is pretty good about making new/better products backwards compatible with older machines. You should just be able to call them up and order everything to make the...

After doing a little research, I found that someone had mentioned using a rack & pinion steering boot... Seems like a decent idea, shouldn't rip or tear as easily as a bellows but still allow...

If it already works with the current software and pc don't mess with it... Having not bought it new, I'm not sure if you can get the "free" software updates or if you will have to buy into them...

Guess I'll take a closer look at it...

I'm milling some parts out of XX paper, and CE canvas Garolite... Oring/gasket pockets .195" deep, using a 7/64" carbide two flute end mill.

I'm running a Novakon NM 135 v2.1, max spindle speed is...

I had thought the Y axis always sounded "crunchy" when moving. I finally started using this thing to try to produce something, and 3 parts in the telescoping Y axis ball screw cover started jamming...

After sitting down and watching some Mach3 tutorials, and reading some instruction manuals, I found that the Z axis was reversed in the settings. Easy fix... Found the Jog Screen (tab), and...

Just today I purchased a brand new NM-135, it was purchased by the original owner about 3 years ago, and never used beyond testing and dry runs. I have it temporarily set up in my garage, but will...

Just picked up my first piece of CNC equipment. It's a Novakon NM-135, hoping to get it's only bug worked out and start making some parts!
