What is "EDM - Wire"?

A process similar to conventional electrical-discharge machining except a small-diameter copper or brass wire is used as a traveling electrode. The process is usually used in conjunction with a CNC and will only work when a part is to be cut completely through. A common analogy is to describe wire electrical-discharge machining as an ultra-precise, electrical, contour-sawing operation.
