Ancient Greeks for CNC

The text appears to be an excerpt from a Wikipedia article on CNC machining and manufacturing processes. The content is informative and educational, providing descriptions of various machining techniques such as wire EDM, sinker EDM, water jet cutting, and others. Here's a summary of the main points: 1. **Wire EDM**: A process that uses spark erosion to machine or remove material from any electrically conductive material using a traveling wire electrode. 2. **Sinker EDM**: A process where an electrode and workpiece are submerged in oil or another dielectric fluid, generating electrical potential between the two parts. 3. **Water Jet Cutter**: A tool capable of slicing into metal or other materials by using a jet of water at high velocity and pressure, or a mixture of water and an abrasive substance. 4. **Other CNC Tools**: Many tools have CNC variants, including drills, EDMs, embroidery machines, lathes, milling machine, canned cycle, wood routers, sheet metal works (turret punch), tube, pipe and wire bending machines, hot-wire foam cutters, plasma cutters, water jet cutters, laser cutting, oxy-fuel, surface grinder, cylindrical grinders, 3D printing, induction hardening machines, submerged arc welding, glass cutting, CNC router. The text also mentions the concept of "crashing" in CNC machining, where a machine moves in such a way that is harmful to the machine, tools, or parts being machined.
