Introduction to Wire EDM

Out of his wealth of machining experiences, Carl Sommer, an award-winning teacher, introduces the wire EDM process. Wire Electrical Discharge Machining has revolutionized machining. Things that were once impossible to machine are now being done with wire EDM. With wire EDM we can cut any conceivable shape up to 45 degrees taper with accuracies of /“. Any electrically conductive material can be machined with EDM, even tungsten carbide. An added benefit of wire EDM is that exotic alloys can be machin
