YOOO WIRE TENSION LFG it was a lot simpler than I wanted to make it, but it's working. Last technical hurdle verified. Let's cut 4-axis WEDM on desktop!!

@CooperZurad Are you using surface drag from flatbelts to tension the wire? Kickass

@SentientAtom I'm driving the motors at different speeds. They slip very slightly on the upper tool and that tensions it. Running slower on the top tool

@CooperZurad Funny enough I was explaining drag/slip phenomena recently where we were seeing pneumatoc cylinders temporarily snag and then overcome the static fricyion and haul ass. Engineering fucking rocks. It never seizes to amaze me how many people give up at "I don't know how to do it".

@SentientAtom I still don't know but I do it anyway

@CooperZurad Doing is doing, talk is talk. Your results speak to your ability to do. The rest doesn't matter. I hope y'alls shop explodes in size and your problems all become things you can delegate to a logistocs company or a Manufacturing Execution System.
