Need a little help from the gang here. I have been using a Brother HS-300 for years. No formal training, just trial and error. I mostly do stainless steel in 304 and 303. Most of the time it is a .01" slot anywhere from .4 to 1.1" deep. Height of the material varies from 1.8" to 2.75" tall. Using .008" hard brass wire.

Every once in a while I can fire it up and cut my slots with little trouble, but sometimes I struggle with wire breakage for a while before it starts running smoothly.

What I would like to know is what conditions you would set for these parts. Right now running 303 SS part that is 2.75" tall and the slot is 1.105" deep. I would like to know what conditions you would set for that part. Not worried about finish or anything, it is just a blade that passes through it. Please let me know what you would set it at. Maybe the HS-50 would be the same, I'm not sure though.

Thanks in advance.

Turns out that the other machines are quite different settings wise. I found my conditions book and figured it out though.

Thanks
