"text": "Wire length is one of the most important factors in CNC hot wire cutting – and the most frequently underestimated. Many buy the largest possible machine and wonder about poor cut quality. The answer is almost always the same: the wire is too long. Short wires run more stably, vibrate less and produce cleaner surfaces."
