Homemade Wire EDM Machines

EDM in an engineering term referring to electrical discharge machining. Wire electrical discharge machining or EDM is a metalworking process with help of which a material is separated from a conductive work piece, by means of electrical erosion. In this process, the wire never comes in contact with the conductive work piece. The wire electrode leaves a path on the work piece, which is slightly larger than the wire. Most often a 0.010' wire is used, which creates a 0.013' to 0.014' gap. The wire electrode once passed through the work piece cannot be reused.
