Into level EDM for gunsmithing

JONA Custom · 2023-01-18T17:40:21-0600

The gunsmith I work for would like to begin manufacturing/prototyping actions. Specifically bolt actions. Often I see that the bore hole and bolt race are cut with an EDM CNC. When it comes to EDM it is safe to say I am green but I am familiar with CNC mills. I am looking for recommendations for machines less than 15,000 to learn on but that can also provide the precision and finish for firearms.

Typically for thick/tall cuts wire would be better? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Señior plastikdreams, I too find myself pondering the new guy's inquiry.

Can a good, basic wire edm set up be obtained for $15k? Like the haas TM2 of wire machines. A basic 2 axis machine but with an automatic wire threading feature and maybe a few extras.

What costs are associated with maintaining one?
