What is EDM Hole Popper?
An EDM Hole Popper, also referred to as an EDM Drill, uses a very small tube, made of copper or brass, as an electrode to blast holes through the toughest of metals. An EDM Hole Popper usually runs on an extremely aggressive power supply which makes them able to create holes very fast. EDM Hole Poppers are great for creating starter holes for wire EDM projects. They can also be used to make holes after a heat treating or tempering process, even after the workpiece has been hardened. An EDM Hole Popper, in short, is ideal for making holes in tough metals which are impervious to manual or simpler tools like a hand file.
How does EDM Drill work?
An EDM Drill's cutting is done by a rapid pulsing of sparks from the electrode to the workpiece. This spark erodes the workpiece and the fluid in which the workpiece is submerged acts to flush the waste material away. After a multitude of these cycles, the hole is created through the material without the electrode ever coming in contact with the workpiece. Some EDM Hole Popper can pop holes in a wide variety of sizes down from .012 inches to .120 inches through up to 13 inches of any kind of steel. EDM Drills come in a wide range of strengths. Equip your production unit with the right kind of EDM Drills for the best results. There are many popular brands that you can choose from. Just ensure that spare parts for a particular brand are easily available while choosing one.
