Many thanks to Animal and Roy.? I searched the online Starrett
site, but did not find the 2700 manual download listing.? Although
my particular 2740-1 version has been discontinued, information in
the manual should lead to the nuances behind the keys.

Does anyone on the list happen to have a manual for the Starrett
2700-series digital indicators?? I have a 2740-1, 2-inch
indicator, but am uncertain how to access some of its features.?
As I do not belong to any of the general machinist groups, I
thought it worth asking here.

Re: New to group; DIY EDM Sinker...is Water OK for DIelectric?
Ik use always water on the EDM sinker if you got a fire you know why you gone use water, I have build the first EDM wire machine home build
Martin,
I have experimented with both distilled and tap water as a dielectric fluid in a mini-edm machine.? While water works, the tool wear rate has been excessive.? I have been hoping to obtain some non-inflammable fluid for testing, but have not so far.? I have also considered silicone oil, which is non-inflammable, but it comes with its own problems.
Some of my experience with water as a dielectric fluid in the Mini-EDM machine is detailed in a summary written for a microwave electronics group.? I will try to post a copy in the EDM section of the group's files.

Re: New to group; DIY EDM Sinker...is Water OK for D Ielectric?
I just visited a local company who has 6 large wire EDM units cutting some pretty exotic materials. Very high tolerance and finish. The owner uses rain water for his dielectric liquid. Much cleaner and doesn't have the chemicals additives that would mess up the machinery. A typical rain storm of 1" or so gives him a few thousand gallons that is then filtered to get rid of bugs and leaves.
He doesn't want his company name or address listed because of the companies that use his services.??

Re: New to group; DIY EDM Sinker...is Water OK for D Ielectric?
Martin, You're making a lot of sense.? Wire edm's use DI water.? There might be a rust issue for sinker tool holders.? There might be some electrical shorting issues that dielectric fluid foils too.? The surface contact area is different between wire and graphite electrodes.? The wire is wearing and the gap is held consistent whereas the graphite... I don't know...? You've got a great question.? Somebody smarter than me must have the answer. ? Bill

Re: New to group; DIY EDM Sinker...is Water OK for DIelectric?
Hi Martin;
?I'm unaware of anyone building a water base dielectric EDM, but
again, that doesn't mean it hasn't happen.? Regardless, many folks
will use Auggie to attempt to achieve similar results.
Good Luck

Re: Solid V Wheel bearings
If stray current is causing problems to plastic bearings, I'd be rather intrigued to see that setup.
These bearing are similar to the roller guides used on doors, they shouldn't deform overnight unless they're made from jelly. Even then, there shouldn't be enough force in a laser cutter to damage a bearing. Very odd.
Most lasers use linear bearings, this sounds like a 3D printer pretending to be one. Still, plastic bearings work on those, even the cheap K40 lasers use plastic rollers on the head.

Could it possibly because of stray current running thru the bearings. Try
measuring current between the frame and the bearings.

Subject: [CAD-CAM-EDM-DRO] Solid V Wheel bearings
Hi, My name is Scott.
I joined this group to ask a couple questions regarding bearings as I ran into
an odd scenario over this past month.
Bearings deforming while sitting around doing nothing.
I have a laser burner with Solid V Wheels.
I upgraded the z-axis to one with a manual adjusting knob making it easier to
put the laser at the right spot.
I let the thing set there for about a month and when I turned it on the other
night, that axis was frozen in place. I had to manually force the axis to move,
but when the wheels rotate 360 degrees, the bearings lock in place.
So I swapped out the bearings for ones that didn't have this problem and the
next morning the bearings had developed the same but not as severe
condition.
Has anyone heard of this happening before?
Are there bearings out there with plastic or nylon ball bearings that will
deform should they be holding up a bit more weight than what they were
designed for?
