RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] cast iron

Ballendo -

I hope I don't have to wait 6 months to machine my castings! Is the aging
more for fatigue life, as in engine blocks? The stresses in a machine tool
base are going to be MUCH lower than an engine block. I'm wondering what
kind of problems I'd have if I only waited a few weeks before machining.

Thanks,
