Hi Jeff, Dropped an email to you about it just now. Thanks for checking, I have been getting hundreds of spams a day. Best, Jason ... From: Jeffrey Csuy...
Just wondering what other folks are using for heaters in their anodizing line tanks. I am thinking submersible aquarium heaters but would like some feedback...
Errol - this all might be a little OT, but I'm both an EDMer and a closet annodizer - I've only used my setup once - and it worked great - a "focuser" setup. ...
Hey Errol good to hear from you I can't help you out with the anodizing but wondering if you ever got the EDM up and running??? If so what have the students...
Well don't I just feel like an idiot. Of course I had meant to send the inquiry about heaters to the anodizing group that I subscribe to. Apologies to all! ...
Ben: I have not yet completed the EDM yet. It is working its way to the top of the things to complete list however. I just completed a sandblaster setup that...
LOL, Errol, I also belong to both groups and didn't even notice anything was amiss with the topic as I read email from both daily. By the way, I returned the...
Hey Guys - Making good progress on my system and hope to post pix within a week or so - holding out until the special tape arrives to make the decals for my...
Hello all: I have a spectra light cnc mill in an enclosure This was a sherline mill setup for educational purposes I bought a controller with a xlylox 3 axis...
Finally got a chance to post some decent pictures of my machine - don't know if it works, but at least it looks like it should! I bent the sheet metal itself...
Bob, Very nice! I needed some inspiration. I have a pile of parts on my bench and Need to get to where your are. Thanks For the pic's. Don B _____ From:...
Hi All Well once again I am doing really small stuff. I built the EDM machine because I make weird parts for model engines.. so here is the question, and maybe...
Rich, do you have a variac? Insert it into the 120V ac lead to the HV transformer to reduce the voltage available to the electrode. Then a smaller spark...
I have a project where I need to drill 4 x 1/2" holes and 4 x 1/8" holes in a piece of aluminum. I need to do at least 25 pcs but will probably end up doing...
Too slow, I would say. Your holemaking method should depend on how thick your parts are, what shape they are on the outside, what material you use and where...
I am sorry if this is a reposted question, but I couldn't find the answer. How difficult would it be to have a wire edm move on 1 axis? I have a coil of wire...
From: "bxmas13" <bxmas13@...> ... It would be somewhere between 2 and 10 lines to program, depending on the edm and how you chouse to program it. Is...
I can make a wire EDM move in one axis easily. Very simple code. Your wire is the problem. Standard available wire sizes are .010" and .012" giving an overburn...
... will ... 4 "tube" ... holes ... need an ... 1/2" to ... This is a minor project with a standard manual Mill or even mill/drill equipped with a good stage 2...
... It is quite common on smaller ram EDMs intended to scientific use to have a little wire system. For a single axis you can just build a sinker unit like...
... Micro sinkers typically have much smaller caps and much higher value current limiting resistors. For the really small stuff they rely on parasitic...
Dear All, My version of Ben's EDM got used for the purpose for which it was built last weekend: the removal of a broken 4-40 tap from a complex, irreplaceable...
I have a Brothers Speedy Cut taping machine I am looking to sell. It has a rotery table with three mill/drills positioned around it and can handle a part up...
Rich, I also use my EDM for making model engines. It is built standard as per Ben's book. Just messing about to see how small I could go I've found this...
Nick Splendid information! My unit is also stock per Ben's book. Just got some copper tube (hollow) and a piece of Carbon rod (both EDM Quality) from a friend....
... Nick, do you arrange plumbing to the electrode, or just direct the flushing nozzle to the general area of the electrode and and trust some will go through?...
Rich, POCO is a graphite electrode material. “POCO 1” being the cheapest in the range. There is a more refined POCO 2 as well. For very small holes I’ve...
