It's a matter of time. We need to set the mill up to run 3mm and possibly 3.5mm wire ASAP. Sending the guide out for analysis would entail a couple of weeks which we don't have!

In rolling and reeling flat wire, we use finger-type guides for the wire wrap. What steel would be good to use, that would be "springy" enough to hit the sides of the reel without breaking or bending? I had thought the guide that is already on the line was stainless, but it has some very strong...

We have a problem with a skiving operation. We cut a profile on to the edge of steel ribbon (.010 by .025 wide) by using carbide inserts mounted in a rigid holder. The desired form for the edge is cut into the inserts using a wire EDM. The wire runs past the skiving insert at 800 ft/min. Right...

It seems that the only tooling available to produce a .0005 radius at the bottom of each groove is a single point diamond. I have looked at CBN tooling, but can't find anything that even comes close to that small of a radius. This project is really becoming a challenge (which I enjoy).

The grooves are in the form of a "v". They are .002 deep with a progression (peak to peak) of .008. The reason I keep going back to SPDT centers around profile and surface finish. The radius at the bottom of each "v" cannot exceed .0005. That radius has proven to be the problem. We have tried...

Is it possible to machine a series of very small "v" grooves on a maraging steel roll with single point diamond turning? I understand that SPDT cannot be done on steel because of the carbon content. We have already had a roll with an electroless nickel deposition machined and it looked great...

I have a question about an M2 form roll we are using to shape some copper wire that has been solder coated with a solder that contains 2% silver. After rolling some 14000 ft. of wire (35 minutes), the "wire track" becomes very visible on the roll as a darkish amber discoloration. The...

I need some help with identifying the proper steel to use for form rolls used in rolling .010 thick copper ribbon. I intend to make up these rolls by sandwiching a series of discs between two "retainers." The discs will only be .008 in thick by about 3.500 dia. with a mounting hole of 2.000...
