Posting in DIY, but this is work and the machine and tooling belongs to the capitalist who pays me for my labor. I "did it myself" though.
We needed to add through-coolant slots to some milling tool holders, and... this is what I came up with. The longer you look at it, the more awful it is. At least, the wire EDM doesn't apply any torque to the workpiece. A mill would obliterate this house of cards.
idk but I know enough to tell that's way too many exposed moving parts
Maybe the coolant drops from the top in sketchy way :meow-floppy:
What moving parts, the wire holder moves and what else
The only sketchyness I see is how it's clamped, sort of cantilevered out in space
True, but I thought edm worked under coolant basin, so the detail being in air adds level of sketch and cooling issues. edm master is sketchiness in cooling or in clamping? :meow-floppy:
