High-Precision EDM Drilling Machines
Are you in the market for an EDM drill? Absolute Machine Tools is proud to offer high-quality EDM drilling machines from Ocean Technologies that have everything you need to take your manufacturing process to the next level.
How EDM Drill Machines Work
EDM drilling machines utilize electrical discharge machining for high-precision, accurate hole creation. A rotating electrode erodes the workpiece, while a dielectric fluid flushes away the material and cools the machine. The CNC system controls movement and rotation for precise drilling, achieving diameters as small as a few mm.
Commonly used in aerospace and turbine manufacturing, these EDM machines excel at drilling deep holes in conductive materials like copper and tungsten carbide. With superior surface finish and dimensional accuracy, they are a reliable choice for precision drilling.

- In the automotive industry for fuel injection nozzle creation.
- In the electronics industry for drilling fine holes in circuit boards.
Materials Compatible with High-Precision CNC EDM Drill Machines
EDM drilling machines are compatible with a wide range of materials, including:
- Tool Steel: Often used for creating molds and dies, EDM is perfect for machining complex shapes into tool steels.
- Titanium: Given its tough-to-machine nature, EDM is a preferred method for machining titanium, especially for aerospace and medical applications.
- Tungsten Carbide: Widely used in tooling for its hardness, EDM can shape it with precision.
- Aluminum: Even though it’s easier to machine using traditional methods, EDM provides better precision for certain complex parts.
- Super Alloys: These are used in high-temperature applications, like jet engine components, and EDM offers a way to machine them without inducing heat-affected zones.
- Inconel: A superalloy often used in aerospace and marine applications.
- Graphite: EDM electrodes are often made from graphite due to its excellent conductivity.
- Copper: While commonly used as an electrode material for EDM, it can also be the workpiece.
- Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD): Used in tools for machining and cutting, and can be shaped using EDM.
- Hardened Steel: Since EDM doesn’t rely on force like traditional machining, even hardened steels can be machined with ease.
The versatility of EDM machines mean that it can machine a variety of conductive materials, even those that are considered hard to machine by traditional methods.
