[SEL] EDM

[Judge Tommy Turner]

Joe,
    When I was getting my undergraduate degree in engineering we used an 
EDM to fabricate parts and I remember the name as you state "Electric 
Discharge Machine".   I think we used carbon electrodes to do such 
things as burn square holes in steel plates and other items.  While I've 
never used one, the wire machines they have now are a trick as I've seen 
gears and intricate items cut with them that are as good as machined items.
