EDM machines are really amazing to me, no matter how much they refine and improve them they still look like a collection of parts waiting to be assembled into a machine. Cant deny what they can do however, look forward to hearing from you in a month or two to let us know what you think then.

We never really had a problem with the control being unfriendly. May be an issue of that is all we ever used for wire EDM. We have plenty of Fanuc controllers on lathes and mills that have been rock solid for years. We had problems with power feed coming loose and EDMing the housings (had to replace the brass housings several times on both machines). They have changed the design on new machines, but it's not rotro fitable. Also had problems with chillers (replaced several) and seal plates (replaced several). Threading was only dependable under perfect conditions right after all cleaning and maintenance performed. A week later back to threading by hand most of the time. But to be fair, this was a 13 year old machine that still cut very accurately. We''l see how the Fanuc is running in a few years.
Does your 0b have the manual crank Z axis? Ours does, it sucks. But still a solid machine. We've also got 2 0cs, and 3 1ids.
