Is it worth investing in high-end wire spools for your wire EDM applications? Let’s find out!
When it comes to wire EDM spools, there’s no lack of options in the market. From brass to coated wires, the range of choices is wide – and so is the range of prices. Investing in high-quality EDM wires generally results in higher productivity, better part quality, and ultimately more money. In some cases, however, a medium-quality solution might be delivering the same results. How do you know what’s the best option for you?
In this episode of Learn to Burn, Steve Michon from Zero Tolerance answers that question by showing how he and his team typically evaluate different EDM wires. Steve compares three wire types (Zinc premium, zinc coated, and standard brass) by running the same program and looking at how long each wire type took to complete it. He then compares the cutting times and the spools prices to take an informed decision.
