With the right EDM fluid, polished, mirror finish.
Great advantage for molds for polishing time and ease.
Also, EDM don't care about material hardness. Some times though
materials, like titanium, carbide can be EDM-d with great ease, vs.
conventional machining.
I bored 1/16" (+/-.001")holes through 1" thick Titanium in 1-2 hours,
using cooper-tungsten electrode.
I have over 10 years experience with EDM sinkers.

Ive done business with these folks before. They will often take
significantly less if the item doesnt sell on Ebay.

off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

for torturing the cat." Gunner
