"Zero tolerance machining" NO!!!!! I am going to kill you. This doesn't exist. It's a stupid phrase. For advertising or whatever. If you genuinely think you've achieved "Zero tolerance" you have a #metrology #skillissue. I'm going to kill you. What's next, huh? When your machines advance even more? Negative tolerance? Short-sighted marketing. Just say the tolerance, that should be impressive enough. Regular people think "5 thou" is crazy, you will be ok. You don't need to lie about the world.

#Yes this is about the wire edm parts that are being reblogged and sexualized #ALSO!!! I'm pretty confident that each part is made of MULTIPLE pieces of metal #YES you can get really good tolerances with an EDM which is how those parts are possible BUT there has to be space for the wire to go #Two pieces are cleanly put together and then probably finished on a different machine so they look like one piece #If one piece was being machined into two pieces and then put back together there would be a larger gap. The end result wouldn't be as cool #Correct me if I'm wrong though I don't have a ton of experience with EDM in general #Machining #○
