Why do test cuts before buying?
Test cuts reduce risk by showing whether the material, wire, machine, coolant, and fixture can meet quality and productivity requirements.
What should be measured after a test cut?
Measure cut time, kerf, surface roughness, edge chipping, cracks, dimensional accuracy, wire wear, and any visible periodic marks.
What sample information should be supplied?
Send material name, grade, dimensions, cut target, surface requirement, tolerance, quantity, and any restrictions on coolant or clamping.
