EDM Graphite

Custom EDM electrodes, machined to print for fine detail, smooth finishes, and predictable performance.

Fine Detail. Smooth Surfaces. Consistent Spark.

Ei6 machines EDM graphite electrodes from a complete family of proven grades, including very fine 5 µm options for thin ribs and close-detail finishing. We cut, finish, and kit electrodes to your fixture standard, so setups go faster and burns stay consistent from roughing through final finish.

Iso-Molded EDM Graphite

What We Machine

Electrodes that fit your job

From large cavity roughers to thin-wall finishers, we machine single-piece and segmented electrodes, match them to your 3R/EROWA or custom tooling, and label/kit them by operation.

  • Rib, slot, and thin-section finish electrodes (close detail, smooth surfaces)
  • Block/segment roughers for fast stock removal
  • Multi-electrode sets (rough, semi-finish, and finish)
  • Datum features, pick-up points, and seating faces to your fixture standard
  • Serialization, engraving, and kit labeling for clean hand-offs

How We Machine

Repeatable geometry, clean edges, less benching

Graphite cuts differently. We use toolpaths and tooling built for EDM graphite to maintain edge integrity, control corner radii, and hold squareness on tall sections, reducing touch-up before the burn.

  • High-speed milling strategies to protect edges and corners
  • Practical tolerances on length, squareness, and parallelism for stack accuracy
  • Controlled surface finish to reduce benching before final burn
  • Graphite-managed machining and packaging that protects critical faces in transit

Grades We Work With

Match the grade to the operation

We select from a globally recognized family of EDM graphite grades—including a very fine 5 µm grain for close-detail finishing—so you can balance detail, wear, and increased capacity across roughing and finishing passes.

  • Close-detail finishing: very fine grain (≈5 µm) for thin cross-sections and smooth surfaces
  • General finishing: fine grain for stable detail and good wear
  • Roughing: tougher grades sized for high removal rates and durability.
  • Ask us about grade availability and stocking, or explore raw material details on our Graphite Specialties page.

Operational Gains from Precision Graphite Machining

Purpose-built electrodes and clean hand-offs shorten setup, reduce benching, and make burns more predictable, shift after shift.

  • Faster setups with electrodes kitted to your fixture system
  • Smoother surfaces and crisp detail on thin features
  • Predictable wear from roughing through finishing
  • Interchangeable spares supported by repeatable tolerances

Quality, Documentation, and Support

Every order runs through a preemptive quality program. Shipments include clear IDs and lot traceability to the base grade; on request we provide first-article checks and measurement reports for electrode length, squareness/parallelism, key datum features, and controlled surface finish. We serialize and kit by operation to your fixture standard (3R/EROWA/custom), include Certificates of Conformance when needed, and use graphite-managed packaging that protects edges and seating faces for a clean setup.

Share your fixture standard, target finish, thin-section features, and rough/semi/finish sequence. We’ll recommend a grade and machine a first-article electrode to your tolerances.
