Yes, that's what I am referring to, but I really know very
little about EDM. I've seen it done, and read about it, but
other than my own tiny tap burning gizmo, I haven't worked with
the machines at all. Certainly when I do EDM, nothing cuts like
butter, but I know the professional gear does a lot better.
