Hi all,
Considering adding a used wire EDM to our operation to compliment our sinker capabilities. We do not have any wire EDM experience so looking to get our feet wet without a lot of expense. At this point we would mostly be using the wire for cutting electrodes for the sinker and doing simple thru part cutting. Not planning to attempt taper cutting for a while.
Anyway there is an Mits FX-10 for sale fairly locally that I am considering taking a look at, but before I do I'd like to hear some feedback from those who have used them. It's a year 2000 machine, which is getting old, and I realize that wire EDM machines have a lot more wear items than sinkers. So how are these machines to maintain?
How are they to run? Like them? Love em? Hate them? Why or why not? I welcome all thoughts.
Thanks in advance.
