"A precision ultrafine w-EDM (wire electrical discharge machining) technique specifically for machining intricate parts and structures is developed in this paper. A thumb-sized and versatile w-EDM device equipped with a complete control system for wire tension (ultrafine tungsten wire of 13 mu m diameter) is designed and employed for the study of ultrafine w-EDM," researchers in Taipei, Taiwan report.

"The tension of the wire electrode is controlled by magnetic repulsive force to steady the wire during machining. Ultrafine wire cutting can be conducted in vertical-, horizontal-or slantwise-wire arrangements. Via some experiments, optimal machining conditions ...
