Or was it somebody else who was into the > edm discussion a couple/few years back? Nope, 'twasn't me. It was probably Ed Nisley, who did a series on that sort of stuff in Circuit Celler magazine. Perhaps he can chime in and give us pointers to the articles? But I can't put EDM in the same paragraph with that series of articles either. IIRC he was making a spot welder at the time, or something that worked on a similar principle.
Even if he didn't do EDM with his setup, I suspect Ed can expound on the subject, and possibly in a more expert fashion. I have only used it twice, once to remove a pair of broken Hanson taps, and once to drill the holes in a table saw blade to allow it to be mounted on my rotary table and sharpened. So I wouldn't go out on a limb and claim to be an expert. :) >From what little I know, the supply and capacitor I used the last time was really serious overkill. Yes, it got the job done, but the whole neighborhood for 2 or 3 blocks around knew that the old man was probably up to no good. ;-) Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
