Hi I just got an old Elox series 300 wire edm. It is supposed to have a diatomaceous earth filter. I did a little searching and so far I found pool filters like that. Are they the same thing? What size would I need? Did they come up with something better in the last 30 years?
Wire questions: I see different types of wire. The old manual I have mentioned copper wire. It has a spool of brass on it now. What are the differences ie. soft brass, hard brass, copper.
Setting questions: I have a sheet for steel, but I would like to cut aluminum also. My setting for 1 in steel states: pulse width/offtime 02/002 Capacitance 55 water set .4 feed rate in/min 0.017 I know alum is supposed to cut faster, is it just the feedrate I change or is there more.
Thank you for your help
