FAQS - WITH ANSWERS

• No part deformation due to heavy clamping and cutting forces required by conventional machining
• No burrs
• Critical features can be machined after heat treatment to reduce movement during processing
• Very little heat is generated, therefore the overall accuracy is enhanced.
• Very small physical features such as internal corner's (.004 radius) can easily be produced.

 All materials that can conduct electricity are a candidate for EDM.

 EDM is a manufacturing process by which an electrical spark is discharged near the surface of a (electrically conductive) work piece. 

The result of the above process causes the work piece parent material to vaporize into small particulate matter. This small particulate matter is then swept away by a water or oil flush.
