REALLY looking forward to when you start WireEDM videos. Can you please go over in depth work holding, especially cutting punch's. How to tab, cut tabs and skim tabs. Not sure how you hold after you cut punch free of the tab. Thanks for your videos! Greatly appreciated.

Absolutely! Our next episode will be wire EDM focused. We're happy to answer any questions you have.

I'm currently handling the same wire edm model. Mitsubishi MVseries.

Do yourself the favor, it may seem expensive but it will be sooooo worth it, buy a spacemouse, click and drag rotate pan and zoom is such a boat anchor, you'll work 3x faster once you get used to it

Great video 👍The other measure is how much wear do you put on the turret on the mill when cutting hard milling.

are you completely satisfied with your edm machines?

Thanks for sharing your insight. The large graphite electrode you showed in this episode. Did you rough out the cavity in the mill first. Or did you just sink the entire thing?
@zerotolerancecnc2 жыл бұрын
We roughed out with the mill first, but we didn't get into any small cutters then we burned to finish.

Do you use (or need) a dedicated electrode cutting machine, like a Makino V22 style of Graphite Machining center or do you (or can you) cut electrodes on a standard CNC mill? Does the graphite dust cause any issues with your machine if it is not a dedicated machine designed specifically for cutting graphite electrodes? Thanks for these videos, great content.

You can use any mill, you need to have a good sucker system & be cautious of blowing around dust because it can get into areas you dont want it to go. In our last episode we referenced our first electrode cutting mill, a fadal. Our current mill is dedicated for cutting graphite only. Thanks for watching! Happy to answer any questions

Burn anything more than 5D endmill diameter/part deep. Making molds for injection molding, small details are easily modified after firtst trial, keeping trodes in EDM carousel with orbiting.

How do you make electrodes? I'm not a machinist, but I'm interested in the topic. Do you make them on the EDM machines or CNC mills? Or both. Also what is a typical material that electrodes are made of?

You machine your electrodes . They can be graphite. Coper.. other materials.

@@GLAJMAN I work in a plastic molding shop. I haven't got to make any myself. But the guys I work with do. I'm the set up guy for the CNC mills. But you have to factor in wear. So if it's going so deep. You need extra to compensate for that. But not overly complicated.

In previous episodes of learn to burn we show some footage of machining electrodes in our electrode cutting mill. We also share a ton of videos of the process on our instagram page if you'd like to see more! instagram.com/ZEROCNC
