Hi,

    Why ???!!

    If Curtis description is precise it would be a great method for many 
people !!! I am one of them... A machine with no cutting forces acting is 
much easier to make and maintain and EDM would also be cleaner and cheaper 
because you would not have dust and no mills to buy !!

    Curtis, could you send us some pictures of the boards you made and the 
"EDM head" setup ?? I am very, very curious about it...

Best regards,
Alexandre Guimaraes
