“Richard and staff are very helpful.  Everyone is very open and forth-coming.  I felt like I was making “new friends in the business” and developing a very good and long lasting relationship.  (The course was) Very informative and I felt at home.  (Staff) Answered our questions directly and took the time to find answers for the more in-depth questions.  Thanks for the support!”

Dave - Wheeling, WV - March 2006

“Overall I thought the course was a great introduction to waterjet cutting both as a business and the technical side.  It was refreshing to hear and see the possibilities available with water cutting instead of its limitations.  I would also like to say that the most impressive thing to me was not Richard’s attitude during the lectures, but the entire company’s attitude… everyone I spoke with throughout the 2 day course and for the last 1 ½ years has been nothing but knowledgeable, courteous and dedicated to building the best machine they possibly can.  It certainly reaffirms my opinion that we picked the right company to trust.”

“Overall an enjoyable experience.  Having everyone interact was helpful and informative.  Very friendly atmosphere, the personalization of customers and potential customers is well thought out.  More information than can be fit into 2 days but just enough so the book can be looked at later to fill in the blanks.  Overall I think I know enough about waterjet now to buy my own or build it myself.  Job well done Richard and staff!”

“RICHEL & Company- What a fun and informative two days in Ohio.  I feel well informed about the design and functions of waterjet systems.  Being a fabricator myself, I see the WARDJet as a fine machine that is well worth the cost.  Thank you for the dinner, lunch, snacks and comfortable atmosphere.  It has been a valuable experience and well worth the cost.”

Kim - Costa Mesa, CA  - January 2006

“I really enjoyed this course. It was more than I expected.  It’s really amazing all we can do with a waterjet.  I think your technology is in the top.”

Renzo – Nashville, TN - January 2006


“I thought the course was well done.  The subject is far too complicated to completely cover in 2 days, however I felt the major subjects were covered and touched on fairly.  Questions were answered well and completely.  The hands on demonstrations were good and the employees were very knowledgeable.  Lunches and dinner were good and enjoyable.  – Thanks!”

George – Nashville, TN - January 2006



“Enjoyed the course.  Very comprehensive.  Quite a bit of content and very enjoyable.  We were taken care of and appreciated the hospitality in the form of meals and refreshments.  Everyone was very friendly and a family atmosphere was very apparent.  I would recommend the course for anyone interested in learning about waterjet technology.  Certainly anyone interested in investing in waterjet technology as a business in either a new or existing business environment would be well advised to attend this course before investing any money.”

Phil – Kingsport, TN - January 2006



“The course helped me understand all the aspects of efficiently starting and running a waterjet business.  One thing is to know how the equipment operates, but more important is how to price the jobs properly, set up jigs and fixtures, and use cutting techniques that will reduce costs and maximize profits.  Thank you for the hospitality and training.”

Edgar – Kennesaw, GA - September 2005


“I feel that this course has been very valuable by helping me learn many techniques for completing a job much more accurately.  I believe that the personnel is very knowledgeable about their jobs and willing to share all of their experiences with me.  I came here mainly for the CAD/CAM training thinking I was not doing it correctly but instead have realized that I am at the level I should be.  I have learned many ways to improve part setup that I can now train other operators and even do some work that I thought was very risky or even impossible.  Overall this has been a very good experience and RICHEL with all of its employees have made me feel very welcome and at home for the past few days.  In this day and age, that is a very rare thing and I greatly appreciate it.”

Tyson - Sedro-Woolley, WA - September 2005


“Extremely helpful & knowledgeable training.  Richard shows that he has many years of hands-on experience by explaining almost every situation.  There are a numerous “tricks of the trade” that I learned and would have not thought of.  Very interactive course!”

Jake – Savannah, GA - July 2005


“Course was great for a guy like me that didn’t know waterjet technology.  Richard is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to how to properly operate and set-up waterjets.  Richard’s knowledge of the business side is extensive!”

Tony - Sauk Rapids, MN - July 2005



“RICHEL’s people were very helpful in waterjet tech information, set-up, and cutting.  I enjoyed looking at different waterjet machines and recycling systems and cutting techniques.”

Ben - Sauk Rapids, MN - July 2005


“Thank you so much Richard for your hospitality.  The course was fun, even though I already knew a lot about it.  I did in fact learn a lot about the abrasive and what I can do to improve my machines and the recycling portion, which will help me a lot.  The training was great, keep up the great job and I wish you the best.  Thank You.”

Jorge - Silver Spring, MD - July 2005


“Before going into the waterjet business this helped me see the factors of what it is going to be like.  I now have a better understanding and what there is to come in the waterjet business.”

Nicholas – Chilton, WI - May 2005


“The course was very interesting.  I learned a lot about waterjet.  When I came here I never even saw a waterjet, but now I actually cut with one.  Richard had a very good presentation and was very detailed.  He explained the parts of a waterjet in very good detail.  His staff was very kind to everyone and shared a lot of information.  I would recommend this course to anyone who is thinking about buying a waterjet.  Thank you.”

Paul - Mount Braddock, PA - May 2005


“Overall, this was a wonderful course.  It felt like a whirlwind tour of the basics.  I appreciate the time spent on all the questions and the factual manner in which things were presented.  I felt very welcome and everyone was very friendly.

Andy - Mount Braddock, PA - May 2005


“I think this seminar has been very interesting and it will help me a lot on several aspects. Especially on getting the most out of the machine by adjusting the cutting speeds and abrasive feed rate.  It also has helped me to realize that we need a second head to be added to our existing machines and more… Thanks.”

Raul – Phoenix, AZ - May 2005


“I enjoyed the training.  I learned a lot about waterjet.” 

Andre - Montreal, Quebec, Canada - May 2005


“The hands-on part of the course showed capabilities of machine – good to know.  Showing Raster to Vector Software and CAD/CAM was awesome.  Having an instructor who had experience not only in waterjet but also as a business owner is very helpful.  Showing how the machine is made and what to consider in buying a machine without bias was very helpful.  The fact that all comments were not biased but as factual and objective as possible was greatly appreciated.  Staff was very friendly.  Food was outstanding!”

Wayne - Carol Stream, IL - May 2005


“I really enjoyed the waterjet training course.  I came into the class with little knowledge of waterjets and now can leave the course feeling like I have a much better understanding of how it works, what size orifice to nozzle ratios to use, how to work with water pressure and feed rates to get optimal results.  I definitely see how the WARD 1 and WARD 2 can be very valuable assets in waterjetting by recycling abrasive.  This course has opened my eyes up to a lot of the potential uses of a waterjet and how awesome they are as far as the different applications they can perform.  I sincerely thank you for this class.”

Steve – Cincinnati, OH - March 2005


“I liked the class.  A lot of things (questions) were taken care of.  I’m a little excited and a little nervous about waterjet now.  But at least it’s more understood.  The food was very good and people are very helpful.  Thanks Again.”

Howard – Portland, OR - March 2005


“I enjoyed the course very much.  It was very down to earth, back to the basics type of program.  It was nice to have lunch and meet your wife on a social basis and understand where you are coming from a business standpoint.  I feel you have a very good product that will shine in my business market and I am going to return with hopes of you installing one of the machines in my shop.”

John – Sidney, OH - March 2005


“I have really enjoyed the training provided by Richard and his team.  I think that the service you provide is truly unique and I will recommend it to all of our future waterjet employees.  It has been beneficial that you have a solid knowledge base of all the different makes and models of waterjet systems and components.  I think that we are able to focus on bits of information that will be valuable to me by being flexible with the time spent on particular subjects.  The information provided on cutting techniques on such a broad range of applications will hopefully help me grow out job shop applications.  I really appreciate the comfortable and friendly environment you have provided and the involvement of all your skilled people.”

Kyle – Agawam, MA - March 2005


“Very impressive course – lots of materials covered for everyone.  It is hard to cater for everyone’s need, but the small group made this easier & one on one times were readily available for those who needed it.  Overall, very impressive and I wish I had taken the time to do much much earlier, it would have been a help!  I am very impressed with the company altogether and its ethics.  Congrats and thanks for having me on it.”

Keith – Westminster, MD - March 2005


“It was an enjoyable and informational course.  It was very nice meeting all of you.  Please thank all employees for all the time and help.  Looking forward to seeing you (Richard) at our plant.”

Mike - Mount Braddock, PA - January 2005


“Very happy about seminar.  Very impressed by everything we learned and the time your people give to us.”

Edmundo – Denver, CO - January 2005


“I think the honesty that you show is your best asset.  I hope your company succeeds and grows.  I don’t know if I’ll ever own a waterjet but I would trust you and your company to provide me with the honest truth about these machines.”

Tom – Brighton, MI - January 2005


"Second time through.  Helped reinforce the path we have taken.  The small hands-on group workshops allowed the shy types to get involved.  Food always great!  Very good at sharing vital information to make a better assessment of what AWJ is.  How nice it was to talk to someone other than corporate people for that experience brought to the table." 

Kirby - Ontario, Canada - October 2004


"Unlike several other seminars I have attended in the past, this one was quite informative.  Not only was I able to acquire a substantial amount of new knowledge, but I was also able to draw out information to expand on my existing knowledge.  Furthermore, I would like to say that I feel fortunate to be in the company of so many people that share the same levels of integrity as well as a similar progressive and positive attitude.  In closing I would like to thank you for your gracious hospitality.  Thank you for letting me tap the knowledge of your years of dedication and experience."

Mark - Ontario, Canada - October 2004


"The most beneficial part of the course for myself was the section that covered waterjet relationship parameters.  Performance based on PSI, orifice, garnet, flow, etc.  It brought up a need for our facility to concentrate on specific data that can help reduce time and cost.  Overall as a all encompassing course the information was very thorough and well presented.  It has been a pleasure to attend this course.  Kudos to yourself and your supporting staff for their knowledge and willingness to share their time and patience with the class.  You have and run a 1st class operation."

Scott - Phoenix, AZ - October 2004


"My main focus for attending the class was to gain basic theory of watertjet technology and to focus on optimization and costing of a waterjet system.  Of all the topics covered the information was clear and concise and with the addition of the other attendees input I gained a better understanding of all the concepts and items we addressed.  As in most seminars there is always lack of more class time, however the networking part with the other attendees, plus the open door policy makes up for all of that.  Thanks for all your help."

Paul - Phoenix, AZ - October 2004


"Enjoyed class- thought basic mix for what I needed was about right"


Ben - Florida - October 2004


"The class gave me a better understanding of how the waterjet works and the relationship between nozzle, orifice size, feeds & speed.  After taking this course I now know that we knew very little about our wet jet and what it is able to do.  This has been one of the best courses I have ever taken."


Dennis - Erie, PA - October 2004


"Being on a tight budget, I liked the way you attempted to fill the days completely. 
7am to 6pm  I feel like I got my money’s worth.  I would recommend this class for anyone prior to starting the AWJ business."

Paul - Lexington, KY - October 2004


"I felt the course was very informative on the different applications that waterjets provide.  I was very interested in the technical side.  Particularly the hands on aspect where we actually made parts.  It has provided me with an understanding of how a waterjet can meet some of the applications for processes that are coming down the road in our company.  The setup that was provided created a very pleasant experience.  I liked the interaction with the other course participants as well as WARDJet employees."
