Hi Alan -

Not quite, I'm afraid. What I am talking about is *wire* EDM - imagine a
cheese cutter wire held top & bottom, being used to take a slice through a
metal part. Rather a different (although in some ways related) problem, as
the NC has to be able to control the X/Y position of *both ends* of the
wire, not just the Z position of a point electrode.

Regards,
Tony
