Amazing precision of a DIY Wire EDM machine

This video demonstrates what kind of precision is possible on a DIY wire EDM machine.

Perfect example of someone that finds solutions instead of excuses! Bravo Sir!

This is the perfect project for the person who has built a LinuxCNC milling machine, LinuxCNC lathe, LinuxCNC laser, and LinuxCNC router.

Wow, it's really great precision.
I worked with Soviet EDM machine. And you know, your machine more accuracy. I wont to repeat this. Thx from Ukraine. Sorry for my English.

Builds custom EDM to precision cut metals

Same guy: "I don't have an oven"

As someone who loves home shop equipment, I love that you made this open source for everyone. I don’t even know if I’ll make one but it’s still awesome to go look through the cad files you made available. Thanks so much! Looking forward to your future content!

Absolutely amazing machine. If I was about 40 - 50 years younger, I would start building immediately. Thanks a lot for the design.

sick tolerances made. Oddly satisfying to watch parts of precision from a seal and float into position. Love that you can barely see the joins.

Makes my shop standard of 1/32" look like a mile wide gap. Well done!!

[sebaschtl]

you are the blind spot of diy machinery that i was missing so long. thanks a lot for your work. If I could, I would start building EDM right now. Hope the community will grow to demystification this dark corner of properitary knowledge.

Never seen an EDM machine before, but impressive with you completed project... Did not expect it to come out that perfectly.

The end product demonstration got a smile on my face. Amazing job mate! 👍🏼

YouTube did a good job with this recommendation. Glad this video is doing so well for you!

I used to work for a company that made high precision flexures like the one you made, the movement was done with stacks of piezo-electric tiles that change length when a dc current is supplied. The power supplies were up to 20 bit resolution over a 10micron(10e-6m) distance, meaning the you could step the distance ((10e-6)/(2^20))=9.5e-12m or 9.5 picometers.

GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK... dAMN I WAS THINKING OF THIS TOPIC LATELY

It's always funny how you (or atleast I) can recognize the Dutch accent in the first line. Great video in any case :)

Bought a book several months back on building an EDM machine from scratch, by Ben Fleming, but it's 10 years old, and I'd like to get one running this year if possible. Added my name to your list and anxiously awaiting your completion of the next arc generator production run. Thanks for the time and effort.

Loved you showed your mistakes as well in a normal, "it happens" way. Kudos!

[InebriatedEngineer]

Excellent video on precision, material tension, and tolerance! Seeing the EDM in action was an added bonus. Thanks for posting! 🍻

You should run the footage of the sinking "M" in reverse so it looks like it's rising by itself.

Absolutely amazing, I've got no other words to describe it.
