Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Wire EDM question:

Ron,
What you want to do is no problem. What you ask about how tall, no one
KNOWS, they
may think but haven't tried the 'max' height. I've seen 20" on old AGIEs
modified by TechStar.
Likely that's not the record though.
Hardened material cuts better because the chips are smaller. But for 2 to
4" tall it's no
big difference.
