Dust Free Graphite Milling —EDM Network The CHMER built Oil Shroud is designed to capture all of the fine par- ticles of graphite created when milling at speeds up to 30,000 RPM. The cap- tured dust is then filtered through the 30 micro cartridge filters that are part of the system. No more vacuum sys- tems required.The oil used is standard EDM oil but with a higher viscosity so that the oil curtain does not break down at high spindle speeds. This oil is engineered to be fully compatible with sinker EDM oil so no cleaning or drying is required before EDMing. Other benefits of the oil shroud are, better milling cutter wear, less graphite chipping, improved surface finish on the electrode and no graphite dust. These high-speed graphite mills can also mill hard metals up to Rc 63 in the larger models with the 10 and 15 kW spindles, so in addition to the graphite electrodes, mold components can also be machined on the same mill. Both ball screw drives and linear motor models are available. HSKE32, E40 and E50 tooling are available. Saw Offers Manual Opera- tion —Kalamazoo Industries The Kalamazoo Industries model K10WBT enclosed wet-cutting bench- top abrasive saw offers economical manual operation, producing clean cuts for good samples. The 10”-diameter abrasive blade (not included) provides the capability to cut up to 1-1/2” solids and 2-1/2” pipe. The removable 5” left side access panel accommodates long parts, but stock cannot pass through the other side of the cabinet. Dual vises and a T-slot table allow for easy fixturing of workpieces. The K10WBT saw features a mag- netic switch, an internal work light, dual 3” vises, dual coolant nozzles with coolant and pump, a 2 HP 3 phase, 220 /440 volt TEFC motor running at 3,450 RPM at the spindle, and 5/8” LH spindle arbor.
