RE:Looking for EDM wire

Dave,
(electric) guitar strings go down to about 0.006" (Ernie Ball Super Slinky).
There may be some finer ones, my info is 30 years old.

Go to a good electric guitar shop and see what they have. Often they'll
sell a single string, since the skinny ones beak a lot.

Another good source is California Fine Wire http://www.calfinewire.com/
They have all sorts of wire.

Subject: Looking for EDM wire

Hi all,

I'm trying to get my ducts lined up for a plunge EDM I'm building from
the new Ben Flemming book.

I'd like to get my hands on a few feet of EDM wire of different sizes
and types to test them out.

It is NOT a wire EDM machine, but I am looking to use EDM wire to poke
small holes in sheet metal and maybe slots if the wire can be used
that way.

Anyone know where I can get a few feet of different types of wire ?

Also, it looks as though there are different hardnesses of wire.
since this would be a plunge unit, hard would be desired.


Dave
