Book Description

March 1, 2009
This text explains the unique machining capabilities of EDM in depth, to provide the reader with a full and clear understanding of both the practical and theoretical aspects of the technology. Balanced coverage is given to both wire and vertical EDM, and the book contains many tips and ideas to improve performance that can't be found in any other source. Unusual topics include discharge dressing, innovative flushing techniques and advances in CNC-EDM strategies that will save both time and money. It also contains information on troubleshooting; purchasing and installing a machine; moldmaking techniques; preventive maintenance; and selecting and filtering water and dielectrics.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book of it's type anywhere, October 28, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The EDM Handbook (Hardcover)
This is the only comprehensive book on EDM written on a shop-floor level. It is easy to understand and offers many real-world examples and solutions. It is worth far more than $50. It is required reading for our entire staff of engineers, toolmakers and even for our sales people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, January 9, 2004
This review is from: The EDM Handbook (Hardcover)
This book is one of the few and by far the best of all books on EDM. The author has obviously used EDM to make a living. The concept of discharge-dressing was new to me and now we use it in our shop. We sponsor and train apprentices and this book is mandatory reading for apprentices and toolmakers alike. We can't wait for the next update.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best EDM Book out there or anywhere Worth Twice the price., March 1, 2008

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The EDM Handbook (Hardcover)
I figured out at least a dozen thing to build and add on to my machine in the first half of the book. I find myself rereading it over and over for more little Jewels of info. If I were to lose this book. I would pay even twice the price I paid to start with. To say this is a great book is an understatement to say the least. Good luck and do enjoy.
