Cristian, Horizontal would not work using the cnc axis as a wire feed (as far as I can see anyway), since the wire is consumed in the erosion process, the roller feed also automatically compensates for the loss of electrode. Also, how would you submerge the electrode and workpiece in the dielectric? Your offer of electronics design could be helpful. I will dig out my work and review it.

You can use the CNC to drive it. > Cristian >
