Brother HS300 Wire EDM First Cut

[@andywolan]

PRG, WIRE, ELEC, **CLUNK**, I love that familiar sound of the relay kicking in the high voltage 'cause it's show time! Now hit START and get cutting.

Hi there, I have one this HS-300 EDM and I'm trying to find a way to load programs from the computer? How are you doing it on yours?

I use Brother COMS on an antique laptop that has a serial port. On practical machinist you find a lot of information about the machine.

I now have the same model and have rebuilt most of it, the last thing I need to do is align the heads, I have the tool, but it seems to be all over the place.. any pointers?

[@flo_5235]

The alignment tool for the machine works quiet well in my mind? For rough aligning I use a square on the table as a reference.

@@flo_5235 I figured it out, I had to wait for solid lights and ignore the flickers. I set steps to 5 or 10 (in inches mode) and walk it in until one light is solid, then reset x2 to clear my read out and see how far off I am. Can also adjust a little. Key is to jog away then come back to the reset x2 position with steps, adjusting until both lights are solid in 1 or 2 steps.

Hello can you send the soft brocomm?

[@machineshopworkantiquemach6370]

Do you have the machine parameters for this?

[@texastad1989]

does this have auto wire?

[@flo_5235]

No, the wire has to be threaded by hand
