Hi, I'm currently having a problem with an intermac primus waterjet cutter. I have made an ICP file on icam as i usually do, it measures at 350mm on the x axis and 245mm on the Y axis. When I cut the job it comes out 8mm short on the X and 4mm short on the Y. I can't see why this would happen. Does anyone have an ide...

Due to the economic climate, our management is not allowing me to purchase a new one until the economic situation in the oil/Gas sector recovers. I'm not holding out any hope, but does anyone know about such...

When zooming with the mouse wheel the zoom will not center on the mouse cursor. It will only center on the screen grid. The only way to zoom on a specific detail is to window it.

Anybody on the East Coast aware of how much shops are charging for waterjet cutting? Just looking for a ballpark number. It can be an hourly rate or by the minute...doesn't matter. I prefer something from the East Coast, but anywhere in the U.S. will do. Thanks,

Chris · Chris

I have a question. On flowcut while the machine is cutting, you can see the path it is cutting in red. It is still showing the path in red, but its no where near where the part is on the screen. Is there a way to fix this glitch or whatever it is. It is still cutting fine, but the red path on flowcut is way off.
