WIRE EDM

Thomas Machine does two types of electronic discharge machining: Wire EDM and EDM Drilling. Wire EDM is a non-traditional machining process that uses electrical discharges through a thin wire to erode conductive materials, regardless of hardness. EDM Drilling or Hole Pop EDM burns small, dimensionally accurate holes through nearly any depth conductive material. Thomas Machine has been providing EDM services since 2005 and has the experience to produce your part features quickly and precisely through Wire EDM.
