Precision Laser Cutting & Wire EDM Services

At Precise Metal Products, we provide precision wire EDM services for machining complex profiles into steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, titanium and high temperature alloys including Inconel, Hastelloy, and Waspaloy. Our 3-axis wire EDM has CNC capabilities and typically uses a 0.010” wire, but has the capability of using wire as small as 0.004” for close work machining, and can achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.0001”, and a minimum part feature of .002”. Accommodating maximum part sizes of 11.8” x 9.8” x 6.3”, and a 12° taper capacity at a 2.4”. Because we have multiple in-house machining options, our customers are able to get the complex parts they need at economical prices. Wire EDM provides an alternative to traditional machining and milling for pre-hardened or high temperature alloys. Because the EDM does not remove material by mechanical force, hardened materials do not suffer the same heat distortion characteristics seen with mechanical machining methods, providing a more precisely machined part with no need for additional heat treating. For more information about our precision wire EDM capability, see the table below, or contact us directly.
