Is there a EDM Forum here??
Have posted this on practical machinist forum, but sometimes no response for
many days or weeks, so I thought this way I have more luck!
I use just regular copper...I do hardly any sinking on my old agie 1968 model,
but now I have to edm 8 cavities, something like 3/4 wide, 2" long and .2
deep, with a radius on the bottom.
I was thinking, mill first, rough out a bit, then edm.
To get down to the bottom with sharp edges, I have to redress the shape about 3 to 4 times, that is what I hate the most!
Is there a electrode material, what stand up going down in one shot?? [on my oldie]
Someone mentioned tungsten copper??
Does someone has experience with this, using old Agie like mine??
Another possibility, farm it out and get rid of the sinker??
Any help appreciated!
