I have a stainless steel job that is 100mm thick with a slot going horizontally across the cut that I am making, which causes the water flow to be interrupted. The feed is really slow 0.85mm/min....
NO, email answering is not on the list!??
Not to design constraints........SCRAP!
I mostly cut P20 toolsteel on my Fanuc EDM. The problem I am having is that whilst trying to cut a piece 60mm thick the feed rate is painfully slow. What can I do to make it go faster?

Hello All.

Hi Guys.
I am trying to cut a rectangle out of some flexible PVC extrusion that is 4.5mm thick. the rectangle is 150 x 100 and I am using a shearing blade that is 1mm thick.

How about leaving a jaw slightly loose so it can move to suit your uneven blocks. If you judge it just so it should move to accommodate and tighten with the vice.
Try going into programme and edit mode and then press the PGM MGT button, then press the EXT soft key and chose an option there.

Hi Guys my problem is that I want to extrude one shape into another and have them look as one. Example, extruding from a square into a circle over a length of 50mm.

There are other cheaper machine system cleaners out there. Check the internet...... I thought that Blaser was sold on the premise that it contained "good bacteria" that ate the bad bacteria!

Peanut butter and lime juice. Works every time.
This suggests to me exactly what you are thinking that the collet in your chuck is not gripping the tool tight enough. Have you measured the length of the tool outside the chuck and confirmed that it...
How about putting something up the internal bore to help stabilise whilst clamping.
You should check out the Little machine shop web site they have a simple to use calculator for speeds and feeds there and it is very good. I have recently started cutting P20 toolsteel and its always...
Looks to me as if that one is factory fitted but, you can buy the same thing with a magnetic base and an adjustable bendy arm. These units are very useful for taking off the tramp oil from the top of...
Thank you for your reply and help. Regards. Steve.
Hi Guys. I have just started using a wire eroder that has water mixed with an ion exchange resin as its tank filler. The problem is that I am cutting D20 toolsteel and I am having rust issues. Is...
