You'll probably get a lot of these references. The best cleanest nicest
looking plans I've seen are from Dan Mauch at CAMTRONICS:

I haven't built one but judging from the information on the page
it looks great. I have a back issue of (I think) a METALWORKING
mag with a EDM machine described in detail. I saw it and met the
guy who made it at N.A.M.ES. in Detroit this year (fortunately Bowling
Green, OH where I live is only about a hour south). It is also
a good conceptual design but made from a lot of surplus items
which may be hard for you to come up with. Good descriptions of
what and how EDM works etc, extremely practical and worth the $
for the backissue IMHO.
