How We Inspect Wire EDM Parts Before They Ship
We do not cut the parts ourselves, so checking them is our main job. There are four points where we look, and the first one is before you order.
Four checks on every order
- 01
Before quoting
We read the drawing for wire access, start holes, corner radii, taper and material state. Open points go into the quote.
- 02
Before cutting
The partner shop gets the reviewed drawing with the critical dimensions marked.
- 03
Before packing
We measure the critical dimensions and check the cut surface. Results are recorded against the drawing.
- 04
With the shipment
The inspection record travels with the parts. Material certificates are included when you ask for them on the RFQ.
Recast layer and surface integrity
Wire EDM leaves a thin recast layer on the cut surface. Skim passes reduce it. If your specification limits recast, for example on aerospace or medical parts, state the limit on the RFQ so we plan the passes or a finishing step for it.
If a part does not meet the drawing
Tell us which dimension and what you measured. We compare it with our inspection record and the drawing. If the part is out of tolerance, we remake it or credit it.
What we do not claim
- We do not list certifications we do not hold. Ask and we tell you what applies to your order.
- We do not name partner shops on this site.
- We do not promise a tolerance before we have read the drawing.
