WIRE EDM VS CNC MACHINING: WHEN SHOULD YOU USE EACH PROCESS?

A hardened tool-steel component needs flat mounting faces, a narrow through-slot, and tight internal corner geometry. A CNC milling machine can produce most of that part efficiently, but a rotating end mill leaves a corner radius set by cutter geometry and may struggle with the narrow through-slot. Wire EDM may suit the difficult profile, yet it does not automatically make the whole part cheaper or easier. Process selection depends on individual features, not on whether a part is labeled precision machined. This article helps you route each feature to milling, wire EDM, or both.
