I included EDM control in Axis Wizard last year, have used it for some
burns with considerable success. The power supply is simple stuff and I
think Jon has info on it. I used the limit switch connection of the
particular axis employed for sensing short circuit at electrode, for
reversing travel to re-establish the burn. This will not work upper and
lower guides separately, as in tapered cutting. If I were doing stuff like
clock frames I'd use fixed guides and move the work and table around
between them.
