Purchased a 30 amp sinker EDM the other day and after getting it home the wife asked what I was going to do with it. While they have a lot of uses I couldn't give here a honest plan for the machine so it's been a difficult few days. Oh well I own it now.
For the details it's a easco sparkmatic from the mid 70s. it was updated in the late 80s and used in a small machine shop until a few years ago when they ran out of work for it. I got it with a lot af tooling and electrodes (carbon and coppertungsten) and to sweeten the deal I got a delta carbide grinder with dual diamond wheels. All this for $1100. I will post pics when i get it reassembled and running.
Now all i have to do is learn how to run an EDM and i will be all set.
