Cutting with Wire
Securing the machine
The machine must be secured so it does not move when cutting. This is
generally done with drop-in anchors through frame.
Introducing water for cooling
Water must be introduced at the beginning of the cut line and also at the exit of
cut line. The water at the entry of the cut will get pull trough the cut by wire. The
water at exit of the cut will help clean and cool the wire before reentering the
machine. Additional sources of water may be used at intermediate points to help
with cutting. Note that the location of the water sources may need to be adjusted
as the cut progresses.
Starting the wire
Before starting the machine for the initial cut, check for the correct wire tension.
It should be possible to freely move wire by hand. Power to the machine should
be off during this procedure. Check the corners of the piece to be cut and round
off any sharp corners with a hammer. If the machine has difficulty starting start,
extra pulleys can be set up to move the wire away from corners.

Note: Before starting the machine make sure you have correct flow for the
motor you have. Maximum recommended flow is 30 GPM.
