I was wondering what is the best way to have a 30mm square hole cut out of a piece of 3" round bar that is 4" long. I was thinking the easiest way is to have someone with a wire edm cut it out.
I am making a lower tool holder my Trumpf nibbler that im using for doing some car panel shaping with. The top holder uses 30mm square bar but the lower is set up for a round tool holder. I figured if i make a new lower that uses the same size tool holder as the upper, it would be a lot easier to make tooling and line things up.
Ill add a picture of the current lower tool holder, some tooing and that should give and idea of what Im looking to do. If there is any better ideas than cutting it with and EDM let me know. The rest of the machining is east to do, it just the square hole i cant make. Ill have to send it out some place since there is no one around here that does that kind of work so if there is some good places of if anyone on the form does that, please let me know.
thanks
