Guys,
I hope everyone is well. This was a tough question to figure out the correct location to post; if I made the wrong choice, my apologies. So, quite simply, the question has arisen as to by what process produces the best, highest quality hole between wire EDM, and ID grinding; roundness and surface finish. The material in which the holes are to be finished is a silicon carbide based ceramic; so regarding the tooling for the ID grinding operation, it would be diamond. The proposed CNC is a Yasda. Hole size: 0.250" x 0.625" thru. IMO, the wire wins hands down across the board for a multitude of reasons including but not limited to cost, maintenance, repeatability....Please chime in...
Thanks in advance,
Mark
