EDM refers to wire electrical discharge machining. Wire electrical discharge machining or EDM is a metalworking process with the help of which a material is separated from a conductive work piece, by means of electrical erosion.

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.
 

  Wire electrical discharge machining is mainly used to cut intricate shapes and designs into hard metals, which are otherwise difficult to form, mold or manipulate. It is most useful in the electronics and aerospace sectors for prototyping and manufacturing various parts. Most often, steel and titanium are processed with help of wire electrical-discharge machining. Jewelry designers are using the system for cutting intricate shapes. Even artists working with metals find the machining very convenient and practical to use.
 

    Many manufactures are profiting from the production of wire electrical discharge machining systems. There is a large selection available in EDM wires, providing a choice of optimum brands, typed, diameter, spool size and spool weight for almost any machine and application.
