Electrical Discharge Machining Handbook (EDM)

EDM, once considered a "non-conventional" machining method, is now the fourth most popular machining method. The first three are milling, turning, and grinding. One of the major reasons for the turnaround is today's EDM machines have dramatically increased their cutting speeds. In today's highly competitive world, it is essential to understand the electrical discharge machining (EDM) processes. Every manufacturer needs to learn and understand the many advantages of EDM. We will be examining the three basic EDM processes: wire EDM, ram EDM, and small hole EDM drilling.
