“At Wolverine Machine, we are dedicated to continuous improvements in quality and efficiency, allowing for shorter lead times, higher-quality products, and lower costs. Since 1923, we have continually improved by regularly investing in advanced technology and equipment. This regular investment in technology has been a key to Wolverine Machine’s longevity and success and has allowed us to maximize quality and efficiency. For example, when a customer needed a part that required both water jet cutting and machining, we invested in a water jet cutting machine from WARDJet. This allowed us to produce the complete part in house which reduced cost, assured part quality, and shortened delivery times. We were impressed by the capabilities of WardJet’s machines, and ultimately purchased a Z-813. We have recently purchased an additional WARDJet machine the RX-3013. Because of the helpful staff at WARDJet, our staff has become experts in water jet cutting. Also, adding water jet cutting capability has helped us to expand into industries such as solar and wind energy. As an ISO/TS 16949Certified company, we strive to exceed our customer’s expectations on a continual basis. The use of WARDJet’s water jet cutting machines has strengthened our commitment to exceptional service, quality, accuracy, competitive pricing and on-time delivery. ”

"Our WARDJet was installed and has been cutting steel for several weeks. This is a new technology for us, so I am sure you can appreciate our caution. We have already found several opportunities to employ our waterjet system for process improvement. Our production success has been largely due to the very professional training and assistance from your folks. You have my deep gratitude, and I would like to extend our many thanks to your staff as well."

We have Sign making capabilities, Tile, and have great software to geometrically nest parts to utilize material to it's fullest extent."

“ My machine is a ZXA-813, and there’s no job that I have to turn away. Everything is automated, so it’s a perfect fit for today’s economy. I can essentially do more with less. I cut mostly steel, stainless, and aluminum – about 80% of which is for the oil field industry. I always knew that I was going to open my own business someday. It was always a dream for me. I just didn’t know which machine to go with at first, so I did my research. I visited the big companies to see what they had to offer. With WARDJet, what you get for your dollar and just the overall quality of the machines – is really impressive. The machines are definitely priced very well. I was also very impressed with Richard Ward. Rich is a very intelligent man and I believe in him and his product. WARDJet gets a 10 out of 10! ”

“ We are Canada's largest aircraft exhaust and engine mounts repair company and the world's largest radial and vintage aircraft exhaust repair company. 99% of our work is for aircrafts, and we cut everything from washers to wing panels. Buying a WARDJet gave us more control over what we do. We don’t have to sub out our waterjet work anymore. The best part about the machine is that it is upgradeable: we can start recycling our abrasive, bevel cutting, drilling, or add multiple heads to our machine at any time. We really couldn't ask for a better product or team of people. ”

“Evans & Sons Welding Service, Inc. is a custom fabrication job shop that uses a variety of capabilities to meet the metalworking needs of the exhibit industry. Completing our jobs on time and with the highest quality standards is crucial for the success of our business. When looking to “branch out” and add waterjet cutting to our capabilities we chose a WardJet Z-45 Waterjet Cutting System. During the buying process their sales team was knowledgeable and committed to designing a system that fit the needs of our company. Installation was smooth, and training was excellent. Service after the sale has been quick and efficient. WardJet has built our company a waterjet cutting system that consistently produces high quality cuts on a wide variety of materials. Our customer feedback concerning the quality of the cuts has been excellent. The tight tolerances and accuracy of our Z-45 allows us to complete intricate and precise cuts that only a quality machine can make. With almost a year in use, our WardJet Z-45 is a dependable asset to our company living up to the WardJet saying "not just a waterjet…" ”

"At JF Berns Company, we both design and manufacture equipment for automating CNC Lathes and Mills. We offer a range of products including spindle liners, bar supports, chamfering equipment, barfeeders and special Loaders and Unloaders. With the addition of the WARDJet, we have been able to manufacture more parts in-house with much quicker turn-around times. The ability to quickly and efficiently cut plastic and other materials has opened our engineering options in the design stage. We also have started to quote job shop work that we would have not quoted in the past. The WARDJet has changed the way we design and manufacture in ways we didn't expect until after we had experience with it."

"We cut all sorts of parts from steel, titanium, aluminum, copper, plastic, and rubber. Our waterjet produces clean-cut parts, it's easy to set up, and the touch screen controller makes operation a breeze. It was so easy to learn. We're looking to buy another one. We're very happy about our decision to go with a WARDJet. The technical support is wonderful. WARDJet helped me get started and they did a heck of a job!"

"We went with WARDJet after visiting their plant. They explained everything so well. They were sincere, they really want your machine to do well after you buy it. Having a WARDJet waterjet has made things a lot simpler. We're able to waterjet cut parts without having to machine them first. It really eliminates a lot of steps. It makes everything we do more precise. We can cut everything from 4" thick stainless down to .25", even 10" thick stone. Everything turns out awesome! We love the accuracy of our machine."

"Everyone I met at at WARDJet Inc. was a true professional. I felt that all of the people I dealt with were concerned with my needs. I particularly appreciate Vicki for her fitting everything into my time table. Being a "start-up" company requires a bit more than just moving in a machine and going to work. Vicki seemed to understand these issues without explanation; and accommadated every facet of change graciously. She was very, very helpful.
When ever a person changes careers, it is vital to get good information. If you know someone you trust; you can ask them about an idustry. If you do not know someone in a selected field it really becomes a high stakes gamble. Special attention should be given to Bill Krobetzky, ("Skeeter"). He really put out an outstanding effort to do the 'install'. Twelve and fourteen hour days were common place. He was able to answer every question with vigor and often had multiple solutions for my questions. Skeeter's demeanor and attitude was always positive even though he put in some long hours. If you think you can read a book then pilot a plane you understand how important it is to have a hands on experience before passangers get on board. Skeeter was able to work me thru and walk me thru all aspects of the WARDJet ZXA-613; whereby instilling a better sense of the industry, the job, and the machine. His 'hands on' approach complimented his expertise. He is a strong company asset. The WARDJet ZXA-613, performs excellently because of the flawless istall. We did a test run that exceeded my expectations. Calibrations to square were .00033 degrees. Circles had similar demanding figures. You, "Skeeter", Vicki, Dennis, and all the rest of the people at WARDJet Inc. who built, or helped design this machine deserve a big THANK YOU for taking the gamble out of my career change."
