Did I mention that it can cut up to 8 inches of hardened steel?  |
| For those of you who may have trouble visualizing 0.01 inch. (that's a dime) |

The Beast
Lately I have had the pleasure of fighting...I mean working with a wire EDM machine. EDM stands for electric discharge machining. Tell me how cool it is to watch and computer programed machine cut hardened steel with a brass wire only 0.01 inch in diameter with sparks. Let me tell you...it's cool! This machine is old and therefore very tempromental. When everything works right it is fun to use.

Wow! that is amazing. I can see why you would have fun watching the beast work. All those buttons, knobs, and dials would be rather intimidating to me if I ever had to operate the Beast. However, I know I would enjoy getting to watch someone else work with it.
