I agree.
While your (Curt) ideas on CNC in general are very interesting, whatever
you know on EDM is unique and much more interesting.
Especially:
What operating parameters do you use or cutting (voltage, current).
Do you use the "boost" function of the eden EDM at all?
How much water is in the tray when cutting?
Do you need to replace that water during cutting?
What angle has your electrode? is it carbon or graphite?
I would most appreciate photos of a cut board, maybe you can put it in a
scanner somewhere and avoid the expense of buying a camera. (Though i
recently bought one and it is a neat toy.)
