What is "Abrasive-Wire Bandsawing"?
A variation of bandsawing that uses a small-diameter wire with diamond, cubic-boron-nitride, or aluminum-oxide abrasives bonded to the surface as the cutting blade. Abrasive-wire bandsawing is an alternative to electrical-discharge machining for producing dies, stripper plates, electrodes, and cams from difficult to machine conductive and nonconductive materials.
