I heard this from both EDM shops and a few EDM builders. The 8 X 12-in.-sized ram EDM is no longer the most popular size machine for U.S. shops to purchase. The reason being that the size work done on these machines is increasingly being sent overseas. So, for U.S. EDM shops to stay competitive, they either increase the amount of smaller or larger work they do, thus making machines smaller or larger than the typical 8 X 12-in. machine more common.
Is any one else hearing this?
