Wire edm is absolutely sick but I wouldn’t have much use for it in my garage. I can’t seem to find a decent video of it, but here are really good examples of what it can do: ![http://www.jsedm.com/images/products/products_42.jpg](http://www.jsedm.com/images/products/products_42.jpg) ![http://www.jsedm.com/images/products/products_41.jpg](http://www.jsedm.com/images/products/products_41.jpg) ![http://www.jsedm.com/images/products/products_39.jpg](http://www.jsedm.com/images/products/products_39.jpg) ![http://www.jsedm.com/images/products/products_38.jpg](http://www.jsedm.com/images/products/products_38.jpg) but one I missed… Laser sintering rapid protoyper.

RP machines are quite useful in many applications. That’s one machine I’d like to own. I’m considering buying a CNC plasma cutter. Not 100% sure on that yet. Sofar it’s still a bit cheaper to outsource that commodity. ---

[font=Tahoma]A [hydraulic jack](http://www.hydraulicliftJack.com)uses a fluid, which is incompressible, that is forced into a cylinder by a pump plunger. Oil is used since it is self lubricating and stable. When the plunger pulls back, it draws oil out of the reservoir through a suction check valve into the pump chamber. When the plunger moves forward, it pushes the oil through a discharge check valve into the cylinder. The suction valve ball is within the chamber and opens with each [draw](http://www.hydraulicliftJack.com) of the plunger.

Yeah there are alot of nice and cost effective kits on the market. Not sure what model he purchased awhile back. I’ve always used the service from NEWJ as it was always cheaper to outsource but I’m looking into a z-axis gantry. ---
