Re: Wire EDM Power Supplies - book URL

I am not sure if the current book by Robert includes all the stuff in
the upcomming articles.

the new book is 125 pages, the origional is only about 54 pages.

This is the only link I found that lists the 'new' book with 125
pages. All the others list the 54 pages, even the publisher.

It seems this technology is guarded at the moment. Those in the know
are probably making commerical units or selling books and plans. I
have yet to find free and open source detailed information.

The other plans site is the one mentioned
