In the world of Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), wire selection is often treated as a commodity decision. But the truth is, the wrong wire can quietly sabotage your productivity, precision, and profits. Let’s break down the hidden costs—and show why Bedra wire is worth every penny.
Hidden Costs of Cheap or Incompatible EDM Wire
- Machine Downtime
- Scrapped Parts
- Slower Cutting Speeds
- Increased Maintenance
- Unpredictable Results
