Hi,
I got the EDM working somewhat..., but its taking way too long. I'm
going to find some of that Aluminum Sulfate and give that a try.

On the EDM I ended up getting best results using a carbide PCB drill
bit shank ~1/8 inch and using that as the "sinker". I put it in
a 'pin' vise and used heat shrink tube to insulate the handle from
the mill's jacob chuck. It looked really cool, but didnt spin
very true. It eat away about 3/16" in about 2.5 hours of trial and
error. Very painful!!! The tap was a 10-24.
