A question for anyone that's cut tungsten in decent amounts.
I had a wire job that ran for a good number of days cutting tungsten (significant cutting using .010" wire). The resin in my machine was quite new before the job, and I turned conductivity up during the cutting and turned it back down after the water cleaned up. The conductivity would not come down significantly.
I chalked it up to something the tungsten did to the resin (?).
So... did a resin change... and had a stainless job I ran for a few days (very light cutting, not much "debris"). But... even after the water is clean from the stainless job, I still can't seem to pull the conductivity down where I'd like.
Has anyone encountered this? Is there something going on with cutting tungsten that I'm missing?
Any insight appreciated.
