Homemade EDM mounted on CNC Machine

[@Nanakiyami]

I don't think ppl can really grasp how badass this actually is! awesome sauce dude!

[@kentvandervelden]

The lack of labels on the knobs and switches is very cinematic. Fantastic project!

[@scbane]

Exactly what I was looking for to do Remington and Savage receivers. Good build

[@rickevans7941]

Dude! Amazing job with DIY EDM!!! Kudos!!!

[@FilterYT]

Nice job! Note to wife (label maker for birthday)

[@y788lhjk1]

Dude put some tags on the nobs

[@Gippetos]

This is awesome on SOOOO many levels! Kudos Sir! Think I found my next big project. :)

[@mathiasboldt]

Thanks

[@automateanything]

fantastic. what sort of voltages and current are used? and what frequency pulse

[@mikie2501]

That was awesome! I just today learned about this process while looking at something else, I didnt realize you could do shapes like that! ...oh, and WOW, Ive never seen so many switches and knobs without labels!! If you ever died they would just have to throw everything away because they would never figure out how it all works!! Hehehe

[@bojangligorov]

Hi Mathias, which type of motor you use in Z axis for edm? Please more details. Best regards, Bojan

[@abdulazeezaliyu9412]

Interesting, keep it-up. Really appreciated ur work.

[@mathiasboldt]

Thanks!

[@hyperhektor7733]

3:54 lol is this to impress how many switches you have to use for this uuuuuuultra complex machine? :D

[@davemwangi05]

Hi, any current limiting on the mosfet? Or how do you ensure it won't exceed the absolute maximum rating of 18A for your IRF640. What goes on when the electrode accidentally touches the workpiece?

[@mathiasboldt]

Dear Divad, there are some resistors 22R 50W in series with the mosfet. If a shortcut occurs the RAM moves the electrode away from the piece.

[@timmcneil1536]

very cool! nice work.

[@DistantVision85]

Do you machine your own electrodes? Pretty cool system. Wonder how hard it would be to turn a small 3d printer into one of these.

[@mathiasboldt]

Dear Sir, its not a 3D Printer, its a Taig 4 axis Mill.

[@hardcase1659]

It would not be hard at all.

[@vivektailor9069]

Brother ... Can I get the all components specifications details of this machine ( means which you used for this system..) ❓

[@ricardrin]

Very nice, is that aluminum you are cutting?

[@mathiasboldt]

Yes, aluminum. Just to show my edm working!

[@jaswanthk3215]

hello, sir, can u tell me what is the frequency of your signal that u used for the machining

[@mathiasboldt]

Dear, I have some resistors to adjust the frequency of de IC 555. I can adjust from high removal rates to finish rates. Example = Toff - 50us and Ton - 200us

[@fxk8y]

which voltage and how much current did you use?

[@piotrjozef]

awesome... yeah just awesome

[@mathiasboldt]

Thanks!

[@dmitryponyatov2158]

Level by tube is smart

[@magedsayma7646]

What kind of power supply could u show me a diagram

[@prairiemountaineer]

Great little machine you built there Mathias. I am thinking of getting Ben's book and making one as well. Did you follow the book or make some modifications to yours?

[@mathiasboldt]

+Cam Hi, thanks! I did some modifications, I didnt buy the pcb, I do it myself, and my filtering system, I use a car fuel pump.

[@prairiemountaineer]

Very professional job. Looks great.

[@eduardomelo3868]

Mathias Boldt, which cnc program you used on your machine?

[@mathiasboldt]

Mach 3

[@isaacvargasnina]

please friend create a tutorial.. please

[@billyproctor9714]

Thanks for the movie, could have been informative with some voices or tags. Cheers

[@madebyrasa]

Don't ask questions 6 years later, he hard a hard time remembering what switches and knobs to use on day 1 hahahaha

[@250smacks]

Your mom is going to be pissed when she finds out you stole her pot! Im interested in ECM, cheaper to do and doesn't use the electricity that EDM does. Very intriguing to watch none the less. Could i get ahold of you and talk shop,? so many ideas.

[@mathiasboldt]

Hi Sir, yes we can talk, please email me [e-mail]

[@jostonepsu]

Nice ! Precision ?

[@mathiasboldt]

+jostonepsu Not in the field of 0,001 but I think 0,05mm. The cnc mill used for this aplication is a Taig DSLS 3000, could have a precision of 0,01mm, my RAM has some play, so I think the precision is affected!

[@fadeltechnology5240]

Could you share us your pcb?

[@------country-boy-------]

*Pretty SLICK*

[@feelingluckyduck373]

If not, well done sir.

[@mathiasboldt]

Please see mikroeng.blogspot.com.br/p/blog-page.html and kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGWpZIaHjJZknck

[@mrashad219]

The high frequency of the EDM doesn't effect the cnc?

[@mathiasboldt]

No, I use the CNC only for positioning, after that everything runs over the EDM.

[@jaswanthk3215]

sir what mosfet have u been using for signal generator

[@mathiasboldt]

I use IRF640

[@KhunroongPHD]

try IRFB4115.... better

[@josearnaldopinheirodossant7712]

Which kind o fluid are you using ?

[@mathiasboldt]

+José Arnaldo Pinheiro dos Santos At this time I am using KEROSENE.

[@josearnaldopinheirodossant7712]

Ok ! it's what almost everybody uses. Only it can be dangerous, be careful.

[@josearnaldopinheirodossant7712]

Have you heard there is a way to use salt 40% soluction that makes a good finichment and high speed to erosioning ? Only ... and biggest problem is the corrosion that this can cause to the parts of the machine and a hight production of hydrogen, what can be very, very dangerous and explosive.

[@fadeltechnology5240]

Nice to advice us could you tell me more about this?

[@chrisscott1547]

Would have been much better if there was narration, so we could understand what you were doing.

[@mathiasboldt]

Dear Cris, please take a look at my blog. mikroeng.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html

[@dmitryponyatov2158]

What fluid do you use for this ?

[@mathiasboldt]

+Dmitry Ponyatov I use Kerosene

[@rkshireygames]

+Mathias Boldt You're not worried about ignition?

[@mathiasboldt]

+rkshireygames Hi, ignition only occurs if you got a spark on the surface, where you got some vapor, or the kerosene goes very hot while edming long times with a smal tank of kerosene, avoiding this, no problem using kerosene.

[@TheRainHarvester]

@@mathiasboldt isn't there anything non flammable? Mineral oil?

[@mathiasboldt]

@@TheRainHarvester You can find some specific fluids for EDM, this have a higher boiling point.

[@elvisjonesus]

ionoplus is a good edm oil.

[@DXvega]

Wich dielectric have u used?

[@andrewmackenzie2638]

Others have asked this already. The answer is kerosene

[@DXvega]

@@andrewmackenzie2638 oh, thanks

[@mathiasboldt]

Kerosene

[@TheRainHarvester]

Wow, it doesn't catch on fire?! Why not?

[@sakshampachar]

could you possibly share .....i have built a cnc router with Mac 3

[@mathiasboldt]

saksham pachar Dear, my project is made according to Ben Fleming's EDM Book, please contact him for more information. Thanks.

[@sakshampachar]

k..thanks

[@neatmachine]

Interesting but videos without narration and explanation are not as appealing or informative.

[@mathiasboldt]

[@feelingluckyduck373]

I feel like this is bullshit and you got an old generator cabinet socked away somewhere.

[@mathiasboldt]

What you think dont interest me, I didn't have to prove nothing, for me it works!

[@rontimothy7288]

Is this really your idea of a good video? All this equipment and no tripod. No video editing. No explanation of what you are doing or expect for results. No design info for someone to work from.????

[@mathiasboldt]

Do it better, my friend! Show something! For those that have a minimum of knowledge about this EDM process, they don't need explanation. If you want to know more, visit Ben Flemings site www.homebuiltedmmachines.com/purchasing-books-and-starter-kits/
