@AMCNitro

what's your question, sinker man.

Far from an EDM guy, give me mills and lathes...sigh... 

I got stuck running this thing with only 3 days of training,  a month after the training I had to use it and I had to start from scratch.  I got it doing the simple stuff.  But Id like to know, for now, how do I get it to do more than one cavity.  Lets say I have a pattern to burn, where the same electrode can just rotate, how do I get it to rotate and burn the next rotation without me having to manually change the angle in the "cavities" page for each rotation?  Something I really want to learn is how to indicate with the probe, right now I indicate the electrode with the setup ball and then use the electrode to indicate the part.  How can I indicate the part with the probe, and then just indicate the electrode with the setup ball.  and... and .,.. and... LOL

Ill take any help I can get, as I haven't been able to find any instructions online and the factory hasn't been any help.  

Thank you!

Multiple cavities can be used in a program from the job page in preparation. 1-5 will use five cavities. Entering 5 will use one, (cavity #5). In other words you must define a range.

 

Call applications phone support for the rest.
