Master Cut EDM, a company known for its high-precision cutting and machining of oversize parts, also has the flexibility required to deliver within tight timelines.
A customer in the power generation industry needed Master Cut EDM to slice an alloy steel turbine wheel into two equal hemispheres, a task that perfectly suited our Makino U86 custom wire EDM and its specific capabilities. Because the wheel measured 74″ in diameter and was 6″ thick, we did two cuts, each of which took 14 hours including setup time. We ensured the kerf was .017″ or less, as had been specified by the customer. The turbine weighed 4,500 lbs and Master Cut EDM performed the requisite cuts in 1.5 days for delivery to our in-state customer.
