Wire EDM Machine Buyer’s Guide

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a process that applies CNC technology with electrical sparks to form simple or complex shapes. Sometimes referred to as spark machining, EDM creates profiles when current discharges and sparks occur between two electrodes—the wire and the workpiece. As the wire moves through the workpiece, it cuts the desired shape, and

How to Find The Right Hobby CNC Milling Machine

Creativity finds different outlets in everyone. For some, it’s painting, sketching, or even random doodles in a notebook; others prefer music. Even running, cycling, or time in the gym can be an outlet for creativity. But some channel their creativity into actual creation. They are craftsmen, people using raw materials to produce something new. Creative

29. Create a Peck Drilling Program in Circular or Rectangular Patterns
Using the Circular or Rectangular Drilling Wizards, you can program the machine to drill an un-limited series of holes along the X and Y planes. Program it to drill straight through to your total depth, use a high-speed pecking cycle, or deep hole pecking cycle. You can program the cut-in depth and return point for a controlled peck drill application to maximize chip clearance.
