What did you have to give for it and then pay to provision it? What is the dielectric fluid?
One of my co-workers worked for Charmilles in machine build a number of years ago.
Can you turn it into a sinker to burn out taps?

Hmm, were those meant to snap together or slide together? If slid, they'd have considerably less "INCOMING!" potential.

Uhh ... they can't slide 'cause they're threaded. Now if one side was smooth, it could slide & the threads on the other side would allow spinning & holding.

But -- if slid, at least one would have to have no internal threads -- or to be slid together *before* screwing on. :-)
Enjoy, DoN.
Thread one half only and it would work. Or just order the clip on one for the $6 from Enco.
I gave $500 for the machine. I've spent another $500 getting it going. DI water is the dieletric.
No, but I already have a sinker EDM
Sorry about the slow reply.

DI is about 4 bucks a gallon from mcmasters, had to buy a few jugs the other day for a trumpf laser marker's cooling system.
A grand for a working wire edm, sweet.
