Carl Sommer, president of Reliable EDM, shows unique parts can be machined by adding a rotating chuck to a wire EDM. Since wire EDM electrode never touches a part, it can machine extremely small and delicate parts. Sommer shows a steel tube and a round bar of aluminum that was in a rotating chuck and […]
Wire EDM 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 +/-.0001″. Any electrically conductive material can be machined with EDM, even tungsten carbide. An added benefit of wire EDM
Carl Sommer, president of Reliable EDM, demonstrates the incredible capabilities of wire electrical discharge machining. Wire EDM can machine parts to .0001”. That’s 1/25th the thickness of a human hair. Sommer uses a snowflake they machined to show the amazing accuracy of wire EDM. The video also demonstrates a unique feature of wire EDM that
