RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Gecko burned out

It's a common sense issue. If we tin the strands into a solid diameter then clamp the diameter between two flat surfaces the area of contact would be smaller than a bundle that can be flattened when clamped.

Gotcha.

BTW, did you know that tinning stranded wires is NOT recommended for
wire-clamp-type terminals? The manufacturers specifically warn against it.
They say it will cause the connection to creep and loosen.

I still don't believe it by my "gut feeling", but I would guess they know
what they are talking about.

The latter.

The G204 will have features which I understand will make them (more)
idiot-proof, but they will COST more. Understandable. I think I
understand that
the G201 and G210 will still be available for the old pricing. If so,
good.
I read instructions, tin stranded wire-ends, tighten screw-terminations
properly, use correct DC supplies, regulated or not, and find that a much
more
satisfyingly economical approach than being sloppy and having to purchase
replacements every few days.
