Wire EDM Machine from China
A wire electrical discharge machine (EDM) that uses a thin wire electrode to cut intricate shapes in hard metals by sparking across a dielectric fluid. Classified under HTS 8456.30.5000 as it operates by electro-discharge processes for material removal, specifically for precision tooling and molds. Ideal for industries requiring high accuracy without mechanical force.
