The engineers asked me to bisect a part so they could inspect a couple welds. I NAILED it. A few hours later, they came back and asked if I could remove another slice at an angle because they thought the EDM wire might have been getting stuck in the cracks (this is not how EDM works, the wire NEVER touches the part, because if it does that means you get no sparks, and no cut... but regardless).

So here I am, the first cut was already diagonal so I could get both welds in one slice, now I'm fixturing this shit up on a sine plate, indicating the part to get it lined up again, trying to rotate a diagonal plane in 3D space and only give it a couple thousandths of an inch shave.
