Need supplier of hole popper electrodes

[JAMMAN]

We bought a cheap but mighty hole popper. I mainly use brass between 2.0 and 3.2MM.

 

After having a severe problem with holding a depth within lets say.... 1/4 inch I got to checking things and what had changed was the package of electrodes I was using.

 

So I checked the packages I have been getting... from at least 3 different sources.

 

I noticed a difference in the spray coming out of the middle and noticed a difference when I clipped them off... the new package squishes when the old package clips almost like a solid rod. New stuff is much softer.

 

I need a supplier that I can buy a package now and buy one 6 months from now that will burn identical if this exists. Some of these nozzles I'm burning are worth a little cash imagine if I calibrated to the soft electrode then put a hard one in without knowing... there would be a hole all the way through the body.

 

Thanks-

Jim

Try Belmont. Some electrodes are flushed straight thru and some have multi channel flushing. On the bigger electrodes I prefer the multi channel kind.

 

Holding depths is difficult for edm hole drilling since you have so much wear. I just keep resetting electrode to top of part and set Z depth.

I had forgotten about Belmont, they used to supply wire at another place I worked thank you Del.

 

It is a multi channel flush even at 2.3MM there are 5 holes. Thanks again
