mikenotgonnagetit Can you please lost a video of you EDMing a Magwell from start to finish? I love seeing EDM machines working, such a cool process 3 likes
- laruetactical @mikenotgonnagetit ... Due to EDM's "flushing requirements, can't get a camera close enough to see anything. Google "LaRue Great Trigger hall" and watch that video. I set up a great example of Wire EDMing starting a burn in that video. ML 1 like
- mikenotgonnagetit @laruetactical will do sir. From a geek standpoint EDM is just cool as hell, but I'll check out your suggestion:)

byrdprecision I've never worked with the wire or sinker at work but my shop just got a new hole popper and it's in my cell so I'm having fun playing with it. Great pics as always Mark.
tntpb365 What is the cycle time on that cut?
- laruetactical @tntpb365 ... Dunno off the top of my head, but will say EDM is not a fast process and never will be. ML
