Has anyone here got access to a spark eroder? I'm wondering if its a process that could help me with something.  |

Hi Seth,
I'll give Dave (Butterz) a call tomorrow. I think one of his mates has one, I'll ask what the chances are of getting any stuff made. Quite tempted myself with some ideas I've been mulling over recently.
Will let you know once I've spoken to him. ;D
Bruce.

I have never heard of one of those...now I'm intrigued.

I have got some small alloy parts that were fabricated that way (a few years ago by someone I was doing some work for). They formed part of an optical assembly which had some acute internal angles. Not sure where I have stashed them but if you want I'll see if I can dig them out and take some photos. |

Thanks chaps. In a previous life I was involved in some spark erosion of carbide press/heading tools. It was a while ago now though and I'm wondering how small a hole you can make in steel.

Might be interesting to build the one Chairchild mentions above and try it out. I will have all the electrical bits here but not the aptitude to make the linear bearing block. I also have a big reel of .125mm (40SWG) copper wire for possibly making a "cutting tool" with. I bet you already have drills smaller than that though. |
