CNC Fast Hole Drilling Electrical Discharge Machining

Fast Hole EDM, also known as “Hole Popping” is quickly becoming the standard method for producing small, tight tolerance holes in materials as thick as 10”. It is an extremely cost-effective method for producing fast and accurate holes into any conductive material such as: carbide, inconel, hastelloy, titanium, mold/tool steels, and other high temp space alloys of varying hardness values.

Below are some advantages for using WIRE PRO'S Fast Hole EDM Drilling Services:

  • FAST HOLE EDM on Curved, Spherical and Angled Surfaces
  • FAST HOLE EDM on Hardened and Soft Materials
  • FAST HOLE EDM Eliminates Deburring
  • FAST HOLE EDM in DEEP HOLES

WIRE PRO primarily utilizes its FAST HOLE EDM Drilling to drill precise holes in :

  • Turbine Blades
  • Dental Drills
  • Venting Holes
  • Starter holes for wire EDM
  • Fuel Injectors
  • Cutting tool coolant holes
  • Hardened punch ejector holes
  • Plastic mold vent holes
  • Wire Lock Holes

If you require close tolerance, small holes, WIRE PRO’S Fast Hole EDM Drilling service is the technology to utilize.
