Hello all,
I am trying to cut an 8 inch part of steel bushings with cast iron center section and having A LOT of trouble. All my usual ways of cutting aren't working and I'm getting wire breaking on skim passes even. I have exceeded my knowledge, granted isn't much as I am finding, but after 2 weeks of trying to cut this thing having problems after problems I don't know what to do besides quit my job which isn't an option. It should have been a piece of cake. I started with .008 wire and then switched to .010 and was at least able to do rough cut. But on rough cut I kept getting contact after contact and chipping away at the slug of a 3" diameter hole. It left a bunch of deep lines in the part that are making my skims very hard due to the cut, skip, cut, erratic passes. I altered the EPAC'S per the manual up and down. Has anyone ever had an issue cutting the two metals at the same time?
Is there anyone in California who has good working knowledge of the proper way to program offsets, conditions, and EPAC'S for EDM willing to train someone? I'm willing to pay, work for free for you for a week, I don't care what it takes at this point, I NEED TO LEARN THIS RIGHT! Not the get you by training I had. There is nothing more frustrating then not being able to learn how to do your job right or better.
2 and a half weeks is too long on one part and I'm desperate. Sorry if I sound crazy I just want to do a good job and take pride in what I do but have hit a wall so I am coming to you all.
Thanks,
e
