Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Software for wire EDM control?

Hi Tim,

I'm guessing that the wire is generally advanced along it's "tool path",
and if current goes up too high, the wire is backed up and moved a
little slower, and if it drops off, it must be moved faster? Something
like that?

Wire EDM "burns" along an edge, rather then at a point, like sinker
(probe) EDM?

Here's a foam cutting site I find interesting, is it the one you're
thinking of?

(Build your personal CNC machine for cutting wings from polystyrene
foam)

I think it replaces this old one, no longer available.
