Request a QuoteFrequently Asked Questions
What tolerances can you hold for CNC EDM Drilling 17-4 PH Stainless Steel?
Achievable tolerances for 17-4 PH Stainless Steel EDM machining depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. EDM holds tolerances to around ±0.002 mm with no cutting force on the part. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC EDM Drilling 17-4 PH Stainless Steel?
CNC EDM Drilling prototypes for 17-4 PH Stainless Steel can be produced quickly and scaled to series production. Send your drawing and quantity and we will advise lead time and any minimum order.
Does CNC EDM Drilling 17-4 PH Stainless Steel require dedicated tooling?
Wire EDM needs no shaped tooling; sinker EDM uses a shaped electrode we produce in-house for your cavity.
What material thickness or size range suits CNC EDM Drilling 17-4 PH Stainless Steel?
We machine 17-4 PH Stainless Steel across a broad size range; share your part envelope for confirmation.
Can you EDM-machine hardened 17-4 PH Stainless Steel?
Yes. EDM removes material by electrical discharge rather than cutting force, so hardened and difficult 17-4 PH Stainless Steel can be machined to fine detail and tight tolerance without distortion.
