Wire EDM in Halifax: FAQ

What is wire EDM and when should I use it?
Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) uses a thin electrically charged wire to cut through conductive materials by spark erosion. It is ideal for hardened steels, exotic alloys, and any geometry where conventional cutting tools would deflect, wear, or fail. Common applications include die components, precision tooling, aerospace parts with tight tolerances, and any profile that requires sharp internal corners.
How much does wire EDM cost in Canada?
Wire EDM machine rates in Canada typically range from $50 - $95 per hour of cut time. A simple profile in 25 mm tool steel might cost $50 - $150. Complex multi-pass cuts with tight tolerances on exotic materials can run significantly higher. Pricing is driven by material thickness, length of cut path, number of passes, and surface finish requirements.
What tolerances can wire EDM achieve?
Standard wire EDM achieves +/- 0.013 mm (0.0005 inches). With skim cuts and controlled conditions, tolerances of +/- 0.005 mm (0.0002 inches) are achievable. Surface finishes of Ra 0.2 microns are possible with multiple skim passes. These tolerances exceed what conventional milling can achieve on hardened materials.
Can wire EDM cut hardened steel?
Yes - this is one of the primary advantages of wire EDM. The process cuts equally well regardless of material hardness because it removes material by electrical erosion, not mechanical force. Fully hardened D2 at 62 HRC cuts at the same speed and accuracy as pre-hardened steel. This eliminates the need to machine parts before hardening, reducing distortion and secondary operations.
