Electrical Discharge Machining is the high-technology preference for making metal dies, molds and stamping cavities but sophisticated commercial machines are prohibitively expensive, running into the hundreds of thousands of dollalrs. This breakthrough, new CD-ROM ebook instructs in the theory of EDM (an EDM uses electrical sparks to gouge out the cavities) then shows you how to make your own small workshop, manually operated EDM machine for about $30 worth of light bulbs, a few solid state electronic devices and some metal. That's right: With the DIY EDM plans you can make a small metal cutting machine as a weekend project - and make expensive metal dies and molds for pennies. The CD program (in Adobe's PDF format for PCs and Macs alike) is the result of extensive research from a number of sources and the DIY build-an-EDmm plans are right out of a mechanic's magazine. It works: the author built and used mhis for years and made beautiful stamping dies and molds from his own shaped tools ((truth is, you can even use an electrically conducting penny coin as a tool for making a nice coin stamping die out of hard steel. It takes about 3 hours of sparking.Admittedly, the small, inexpensive EDmm you'll make requires your eyes and hands (versus auto controls on the $100,000+ machines) but it'll make a fine metal cavity just as surely as the commercial ones. Sparking! That's what the EDmm does (call it the Electrical Discharging Mitey Mite). You'll get not only an extensive, well illustrated instruction tutorial in EDM theory but also the DIY plans bonus. contained in one equally well illustrated chapter. It's just what every workshop that dabbles in metal work needs..
