| Did you ever wonder how EDM works? Here it is in 6 easy
steps. |
| 1. EDM stands for "Electrical Discharge Machine" |
| 2. An electrical charge is applied to an electrode, a brass wire, copper,
sterling, or graphite. |
| 3. The electrode then makes a electrical connection with the steel. |
| 4. A spark jumps from the electrode to the work piece and designates the
steel with a controlled electrical charge. |
| 5. This process happens thousands of times per second. The
mirror image of the electrode is formed in the work piece |
| 6. Picture Michelangelo with a chisel carving a marble sculpture, we do
the same thing with electricity, only our chisel is a electrode. |
