Nice to see again. I was a plastic injection mold maker and specialized in Ram EDM. I then took a job with a Swiss company named AGIE. I bought a wire EDM from them in 1985. Was in business northwest of Chicago for 18 years. Owned 11 machines over that time. 3 Swiss AGIE and 3 Fanuc were on my floor at all times. Retired to Jamaica 10 years ago. Thanks to my crew, some of the best programmers and operators their were at the time. Enjoy it's a great trade.
This is absolutely fantastic. Fully understand why you wouldn't sell them but i can deeply appreciate the insane level of precision and care you guys put into your work.
This would be very nearly impossible. In order to cut anything you need to remove some material. Even if it's a couple of atoms thin. Meaning that a block of material cut in half even with the most precise and wasteful technique will have less material than it did when it was in one piece.
well that's impossible because the cutting wire that should be used for that must be a lot thinner than a strand of hair which is sure going to be not strong enough to cut steel, I always thought it's separate parts and I'm right
@@Quicksilver_Cookie shears obviously not possible for the metal cube we're seeing here, but in general. A block cut in half can have the same amount of material after the cut.

Watching this random video like “boy I had a lot of fun working with machines like these at ……. Oh hey this is US Digital!” Used the sinker there to run the first MAE3 molds. Small world. Cheers, family!
I've only seen these beauties of a machine just a few times but, now I'm just plain curious if it'd be possible for it to machine/cut the threads for a bolt like a die.
It's possible by using an electrode shaped like a tap split longitudinally to cut internal threads. The electrode would cut just like a tap by first cutting threads on one side and then slowly rotating while moving down similar to a thread cutting mill. A similar technique could be used for external threads. I assume copper or brass would be used for the electrode to create the fine details. It's probably not very practical and a thread cutting mill would be faster and easier.
Although it is very cool to the normal person, having designed and programmed thousands of parts via mill, lathe, grind and wire..this is everyday life for me. Thanks for sharing!
I know everything you showed in the first minute of the video is standard milling equipment, but it reminds me a lot of my uncle... He had a lab with all this stuff in his garage, it really felt like he could build everything when I saw it a couple of times as a child. Man...
People are saying sell them but don't understand the actual cost this took to make. If they knew they wouldn't want to buy something like this for that price. I work with edms all day every day...
Honestly that is mostly the grinding. I would guess by how free it moves they have about a .00025" clearance in there. Even at that tight of tolerances there is still be pretty visible lines from the clearance. However when you grind it, some material is displaced in to the clearance gap, kind of bridging the gap and effectively making it invisible to the human eye.
Those puzzles pieces could make a killing for yall honestly I'd pay upwards of 80+dollars just for the satisfaction of seeing the seamless cuts like that's just beautiful love the way it looks and just the fact that it a cool novelties toy would bring the value up
Newer wire machines can hold tolerances of ±0.00002" (twenty millionths!) but it takes something like 7 or 8 passes with progressively lower power settings on the cut.
I wonder if you could manufacture a Rubik's cube to this sort of tolerance.... Imagine how amazing it would look as it rotated into its solved position with all brushed sides matching and becoming seamless... You could even use bluing techniques to get the different sides to different colors...
He goes on to say he does molding which is a fact that hand work is always going to be superior to machinery for high levels of accuracy, mold making or class A automotive spotting is equal to the thickness of liquid in most cases, takes a damn long time but when finished is a an absolutely beautiful relationship between upper and lower dies withing a micron or 2,, theres a reason toolmakers still have jobs🤙

You'd never be able to keep it that way with the amount of thermal expansion on something so big. There'd be gaps in the winter, and it would jam in the summer.
The weirdest part of this video is seeing such a high tech process, while hearing "one tenth of a thousandth of an inch". Thankfully google could translate it to microns for me.
I don’t mean to be that guy but in machining if there’s anything I’ve learnt it’s that there’s ALWAYS some kind of variation with the measurements. But sometimes it can be so small it’s a microscopic difference.
Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it and it answered a lot of questions that I had. I never would have imagined that you use a bandsaw to cut through the steel blocks. What is the blade made out of and how often do you need to sharpen/replace it?
Tolerance is generally confused with clearance but both concepts are totally different in engineering. Tolerance is the permissible range of variation or deviation from a nominal value of any dimension. It is a design specification. Clearance is the real physical distance between two surfaces. Obviously, to obtain very small clearances, tight tolerances must be specified and met. As clearance approaches zero, the surfaces tend to stick to each other, they do not slide. In injection mold design and manufacture, there are critical surfaces that need to slide freely when not subject to pressure and immediately after, reach metal to metal contact under load.
So this cube is the equivalent of nib on a saw. For context nib in the saw signifies how skilled the blacksmith who made the saw is. And this cube shows how much precise product this company can make.
They describe a worm that can cut stone with precision in ancient tales. Some places have this precision but they didn’t have this type of machinery. It’s interesting to watch this thread cut like this after seeing those sites around the world. Is this the worm they were referring too?
I’m IT at a large automotive injection molding facility that also makes and services molds for other companies (dual company, one building) and some of the tech we have is insanely cool
So is there still technically a gap between these 2 pieces? I was just in a discussion about whether or not a 1 inch cylinder would go through a 1 inch hole and this is the closest example
i once found a quater in a money roll that was cut in half in the shape of wave as well cut about a 1/16th of a inch deep all of the way around when the two pieces were put togeather it was unnoticable unless you were looking for the cut.
If you start selling those cubes its a gold mine
No, def not. Unless they sell them for a grand a piece.

Engineering precision at it's finest
I know nothing about machining but dear god this thing just looks and feels so right
So is there still technically a gap between these 2 pieces? I was just in a discussion about whether or not a 1 inch cylinder would go through a 1 inch hole and this is the closest example
i once found a quater in a money roll that was cut in half in the shape of wave as well cut about a 1/16th of a inch deep all of the way around when the two pieces were put togeather it was unnoticable unless you were looking for the cut.
Huge!! WTF are your tolerances? How do you manage the gap on that example?
And of course I want one...... Simply amazing..
The wire cutting process is so beautiful
What are the sensors that control the spark gap between the electrode and the workpiece?
serro system
I recently bought a Zigzag wire edm puzzle. You can see the seams slightly. Was a bit disappointing, but it's still really cool.
If you mill over it, the seams may seem smaller, because they become ridged.
I’d dedicate my life to learning to work with machine like this.
Good luck, usually this machine used in shopmold, plastic industry
With a .004 wire how do you make the kerf invisible? Or do you cut 2 parts
If you guys ever do sell those puzzle squares be sure to make a video about it, I think they are kind of cool
In my internship I operated all three machines surface grinding m/c milling M/C and edm now at my job I am vmc operator ❤
The real genius is the man that invented the machine
You dont sell the cubes? Thise would be some awesome fidget or puzzles
