Hello David, Very nice to hear back from you. There are many possibilities for such a device, but investing any time into applying the technology requires a better understanding of the operation dynamics of the device; it's strengths, it's weaknesses, etc. Having been disappointed before,

Nick, SiC coated is certainly interesting but I was thinking of solid carbide tools that are available and reasonably priced. Solid carbide tools are very rigid compared to coated steel tools but are easily broken. The rigidity creates larger forces on the tool during machining so that a fine

I capturedforward pulses in up to six 5600 mfd 350v caps in parallel. I kept these from over charging with a load bank of series/parallel 40 watt bulbs that I switched in and out as needed to limit maximum voltage. Reverse pulses could easily reach 700v which is well above my 600vdc supply
