Design of a Disc Grinder for EDM Electrodes Machining

Conference paper

Abstract

This paper gives a review of possibilities for dressing rotational electrodes by electro discharge machining (EDM) technique. We designed a vertical EDM disc grinder as an alternative to available sacrificial block electrode dressing technique. We performed experimental machining tests with this vertical grinder and we have explained the effects, which affect the stability of this electro discharge machining technique.
