Home shop made Wire Electrical Discharge Machine

[BAXEDM]

Hi Jason,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. The parts shown in the video are all cut on my DIY machine, which is calibrated. The part accuracy is +/-0.01 mm (less than half a thousandths of an inch).
There is one thing that I should clarify. Ben Fleming's design has not been used as a base for the BAXEDM arc generator in any way. In fact, I looked briefly at Ben's design in the past and decided that I needed to design my own generator from scratch in order to get the performance that I was looking for. These are two very different machines, using different technologies and intended for different users. Bens design is great, and he gets a lot of kudos from me for getting EDM into the hands of people that want to try it out and like to tinker. The BAXEDM generator is intended for individuals and small businesses who really want to invest in making a performance custom machine.
I'll do my best to make lots videos about DIY EDM, to raise its popularity in the home shop. People can use my open source mechanical designs, and tips and tricks from my videos to build their own machines. Whether they buy an arc generator from BAXEDM, make Fleming's design or build one from scratch, that's up to them. My design examples and info is there to help out in their machine build and prevent them from making the same mistakes as I did.
