Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (Wire EDM) is an advanced machining technique where a thin single-strand wire, typically composed of brass or stratified copper, is used to cut through a metallic workpiece. The cutting is facilitated by controlled spark discharges or electrical erosions that occur between the wire and the metallic workpiece, both submerged in a bath of dielectric fluid. The process is intricate, free from mechanical stress, and allows for the cutting of intricate contours or cavities in pre-hardened steel without the need for heat treatment to soften them. The EDM vise plays a pivotal role in the Wire EDM…
