What causes unstable cutting?
Possible causes include poor wheel alignment, low fixture rigidity, incorrect tension, unsuitable feed, coolant problems, worn wire, or a rough loop joint.
Why does stability matter for brittle materials?
Brittle materials can develop edge chipping, micro-cracks, and subsurface damage when the cutting load fluctuates.
How can stability be checked during tests?
Record sound, vibration, kerf consistency, cutting marks, wire tracking, and whether the joint produces periodic surface defects.
