Re: EDM Rotation speed

Dave,It seems that adding a spinning motion just complicates the
process since one must also move the electrode up and down. When
things are adjusted properly my stepper output shaft rotates back and
forth about 1/8th turn which results in the electrode moving up and
down about 4 to 5 mils (like a sewing machine, at a pretty good
clip). Wouldn't this have a similar effect to rotating the electrode?
And one would not want to rotate a square electrode<G>.

The distance moved can be adjusted by setting the comparator
reference voltages. I find that the method works really well.
