Frequently Asked Questions
What is CNC Wire EDM and how is it done?
CNC Wire EDM refers to wire EDM cuts conductive metal with a charged wire, achieving fine detail and tight tolerance with no cutting force. VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
Can VT machining make custom parts to my drawing?
Yes. CNC Wire EDM is made to order from your CAD/2D drawing. Share your geometry, material grade, tolerance and quantity and we will confirm feasibility, lead time and pricing.
Can you EDM-machine hardened ?
Yes. EDM removes material by electrical discharge rather than cutting force, so hardened and difficult can be machined to fine detail and tight tolerance without distortion.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Wire EDM on ?
Machined the metal edges are clean and to specification; edge-break or deburring is added when your drawing calls for it.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Wire EDM?
Achievable tolerances for CNC Wire EDM 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.
