As for gap .... Pete will tell you that when it sounds like frying bacon it is just right. A few years ago Pete Gruendeman , gruendeman AT att.net, brought a sinker edm to fest. Nice RC unit including a C axis so he could thread. A 1/4-20 thread in a file is pretty cute. It used a custom program written in compiled Basic under DOS. The gap sensor was a couple couple of comparators. The Z was driven by a stepper/servo. He planned to use parallel springs to hang a small X/Y (+- 0.01) for orbiting. Don't know if he ever got it finished. Steve Stallings may know the status of this project.
