Water Jet Children

If you make your way down Interstate 675 near Saginaw, you'll likely see something that catches your eye on top of the Mid-Michigan Children's Museum.

Giant, multicolored, 12-foot tall children standing on the roof.



Each child is about six feet wide, as well, and weights approximately 700 pounds.

So, where did they come from?

They were created by eight workers at the Merrill Tool and Machine shop in Merrill, Michigan. Using water jet machines, these children were fabricated from one-quarter inch steel plates

Guitar Machining with a CNC

Here's something really neat that a CNC machine is capable of doing -- cutting out and machining a guitar! Before the guitar reached this step, it was built in a 3D modeling program, and then programmed into a computer cutting program to give the CNC instructions on how to cut. What you'll see below are the necessary holes being cut out of the guitar's base, and the actual shaping of the guitar's face by the CNC machine.

Wire EDM FAQs

Here are some of the more frequently asked questions we receive about wire EDM:

What materials can be cut by wire EDM?

If a material conducts electricity, the wire EDM process can cut through it.

What kind of surface finish can I expect from wire EDM products?

Wire EDM cutting can produce a finish similar to surface ground with a fine wheel. In general, the finish has a matte look to it, but some can get close to a mirror finish.

What industries use this type of precision cutting?

Aerospace, medical and automotive industries all use this form of machining.

Wire EDM Process

How does wire EDM work?

• First, a discharge of electricity is create between the wire/electrode and the work piece
• The spark jumps across the gap, thereby removing material from the piece and wire
• In order to stop the sparking process from shorting out, a non-conductive field (dielectric) is applied. The waste is removed by the dielectric, and the process continues.
