Machining airspace parts please heeelp!!!!!

It is clear what hoezap is doing. The only way to really speed it up is change the process. He is already wiring. Wire the whole job. The speed increase is seen when the part is sliced...

We bow to your greater knowledge ;-)

lol... thanks! its nice to be appreciated

Maybe hoezap can post some pictures to make it even clearer...

So wiring gives a better surface than machining?

My interpretation, is they're surfacing both sides of the plate, but I'm not sure if the wiring is being done before or after the surfacing...

No it's not cleat at all.!! . . . . Where does he say he slices the part with this fixture.? . . . Your assuming this.!

To me it sounds like they are Wire cut to rough size and he's doing the Finish passes.? . . .But this isn't clear.

My thoughts exactly, and my humour was lost on the expert

I thought at the time that the sarcasm was lost with the sunbed towels.

Ok.

Machining for machinists.

I post here to help and learn. Other guys are posting to do the same. Lets forget towels and sunbeds for a minute.

If you know nothing about a subject don't post rubbish. It's not stupid not to know. It's stupid not to say you don't know...

Helping - wiring is an electro machining process - short for wire edm. It is used to make very accurate shapes and surfaces in very hard materials where necessary. Much more accurate than milling. Usually it is the last process as the material has been pre-machined in a semi hard state, heat treated then wired to finished form. Maybe it is then spark eroded to add further features.

I work with these procesess thus I understand the original posters question. It is clear you have absolutely no idea about this subject, zero. The original poster asks some interesting questions - he is also working in this area. I have no idea what you do. For sure you know things I do not. Is it not better to learn from each other?

Thanks and in order to enjoy the sunbeds try getting up more ealy!

I know exactly what wiring is, but it's not something I've ever used, so will bow to your experience regarding surface finish.

However, it's not a fast process, and isn't going to be faster than a milling machine for surfacing. And that's before you consider any other features that may be getting milled during the same setup.
What people were getting at, is your reply where you're stating methods by making assumptions and without ever having seen the part, or the reasons for the milling.
