We had a batch of 200 EDM electrodes come back from CNC machining. The first 50 looked perfect. By piece 120, they started missing dimensional spec — 10.05 mm instead of 10.00 mm. By 180, half were scrap. Tool wear. The CNC spindle had drifted, and by the time we
Why do some graphite cuts take just minutes and others take hours? Having more than 12 years experience in the best vertical graphite cutting machine industry I know the answer – it is all about the machine. This article talks about the speed, feed rate, depth of cut and cycle
Searching for rotary graphite cutting machine prices? 12 years in industrial graphite cutting tools, I know why there is such a price difference. In this article I’ll explain the main factors influencing rotary graphite cutting machine prices. I’m going to examine spindle power, axis travel, dust systems and more. In
Ever had sluggish cutting or rough edges at a factory? Does it take too long to cut hard materials, such as graphite or ceramics? I’ve been in the diamond wire-cutting sector for 12 years. I’ve seen plenty of firms go through wear, waste, and delays. The proper spiral coated diamond
Ever wonder why certain graphite producers cut clean and waste less? Why are other factories sluggish with cuts and blunt with tools? I have 15 years of expertise with segmented diamond wire. I have seen the appropriate wire cut better and cheaper.” I have also improved the cutting job of
Graphite slicing yield is the percentage of raw billet material that becomes usable finished wafers after slicing. It is the single most important metric for evaluating slicing efficiency — and the one that directly connects process quality to production cost. A typical graphite slicing yield ranges from 45% to 80%,
Graphite slicing kerf loss is the material destroyed by the cutting element during every pass through a graphite billet. It becomes swarf — not product. In precision slicing operations, graphite slicing kerf loss can consume 30–50% of the original billet depending on blade type and process parameters, making it the
Ever wonder why certain companies achieve nice clean slices of graphite, while others squander time and material? I have 15 years experience in the best automatic graphite cutting machine sector. I have observed how the correct equipment produces better cuts, quicker work and reduced cost. In this article I will
Have you ever had a graphite component fail because the interior cut was wrong? In many companies, a tiny cutting mistake may result in waste and increased expenditures. I have 12 years of experience in graphite machining, and I have seen how the right machines buy graphite inner profile cutting
Every precision graphite plate starts as a clean cut. But between the wire entering the block and the finished plate arriving at inspection, multiple things can go wrong. Edge chipping. Surface scratches. Micro-cracks. Breakage. Each defect has a specific cause, and each cause has a fix — if you know
