Earlier this year, we asked our social media followers to guess what was coming in the empty space in our shop. Well here it is: a brand new Omax Maxiem 1530 waterjet cutting machine! We brought this machine into our shop to help reduce the time it takes to ship the parts to you, our customers. Its new features, like the terrain follower, nicely complement our existing waterjet cutting capabilities.
Now we need your help. We need a name for this machine. Should we give it a friendly name like "Cuddles" or "Bambi"? Or maybe something more agressive like "Samson" or "Beast"? Let us know your thoughts. Head over to this Facebook post and leave your suggestion in the comments. One lucky person will win $150 in free waterjet cut parts!

The team is captained by long time veteran Chuck Pitzer and is returning better than ever after sitting out the last couple years.
Here's what we expect the new Ghost Raptor to look like when finished:

At this difficult time, we at Big Blue Saw want you to know that the health and well being our customers and employees are our highest concern. All of our employees have been trained on the hygiene practices and social distancing recommended by the CDC to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Employees who are able to work from home have been asked to do so. Employees who need to be on site to make your parts have been told to take extra precautions. Thankfully, we have a large facility with plenty of space!
On the positive front, none of our major suppliers (e.g. for raw stock materials) have reported or predicted any disruptions. We are 100% continuing on schedule and fulfilling your orders!

If you or someone you know needs parts for medical equipment, please let us know so we can do our part in helping out.
We know that many businesses and people are struggling due to the current economic disruption and slowdown. If you're out there and reading this, we have a special deal for you.

The Big Blue Saw Custom Part Army refers to all of the fantastic fighting robots we sponsor. We'd like to welcome Overhaul, a team based not far from our Atlanta headquarters. Internet-famous roboteer Charles Guan captains the team. Here's what they had to say about Big Blue Saw's involvement in Overhaul's construction:
A heartfelt welcome aboard to Big Blue Saw, our hometown favorite for waterjet and laser cutting on-demand custom parts from your drawings - as you know, a robot is basically a massive collection of one-off parts, and we're glad to have them behind us.
UHMW plastic, steel 1018, grade 5 titanium, and aluminum 6061 parts waterjet cut for Overhaul. The parts include sprockets, forks, brackets, and armor.
A closeup of some of the aluminum sprockets and brackets.
Overhaul will be competing at BattleBots in April, with matches airing on Discovery later this year. Good luck to them!
