Working with any electrically conductive material up to 16” thick, Wisconsin Metal Parts supplies Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) services for parts such as die and mold components, nozzles, keyways, and actuators.  In addition to tool steels, we are experts at cutting carbide, have equipment dedicated to cutting carbide and can run 24/7. With 4-axis cutting, we can handle parts up to 41.3” x 25.6” x 16.77” with a maximum weight of 1,763 lb.  Our fine wire cutting can produce true shapes and corners down to .001” with a minimum wire diameter of .003”. Our climate controlled Wire EDM Department is able to maintain tolerances as tight as ±.00005”.  We specialize in building Fine Blank tooling.  Our capabilities also include small-hole EDM drilling from .013 - .120” diameter in hard or soft materials. Specializing in difficult-to-make parts and challenging components, we build our own fixtures and produce surface finishes down to 4 Ra” for carbide and 8 Ra” in steel.

With our compliment of Metal Stamping, Fabrication, CNC Machining and CNC Grinding  we could be a single source for your assembly and sub-assembly needs.

Get us involved early and we will help you spend your money wisely.

Wisconsin Metal Parts works with each client to learn and meet their needs. For more information on our EDM services, please contact us or refer to the table below.
