      From: Ar@127.0.0.1              We know that F1 teams over the years have gone through lots of fancy       processes and materials to cut the weight of parts and still be strong.       I've been looking on Youtube and found a process called "electric       discharge machining", which gives tolerances of the thickness of a thin       wire.              Would an F1 team use such machines to give effectively zero tolerance       cutting for mechanical parts? Looking at it it is amazingly accurate       cutting, far better than a CNC milling machine, but massively slower.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
