Doesn't seem to be much interest in the waterjet section on CNCzone, but I'll post the math anyway now that I've got hard numbers.
WJS cup installed on the 80x machine on 5-15-14, currently this cup has 350.04 hours on it, still going strong, and putting it through hell compared to the 55100
Factory cup installed on the 55100 machine on 6-10-14, and failed with 287 hours on it.
Math wise both machines run for approximately 70 hours of cutting time a month, the WJS cup has lasted 63.04 hours longer so far, which seems pretty close given the dates they were started.
I will post again when the WJS cup fails with final run time numbers.
