[QUOTE="TracySes23, post: 948221, member: 52763"] You are mixed up. It's not possible to chamber a barrel with wire EDM. However it's possible to chamber with RAM EDM which would use an electrode shaped like the chamber. The problem with this, is that the electrode erodes away as it's being used. Faster than you can imagine. You'd likely need 3 electrodes to get it done. It would cost more that using a reamer & it likely wouldn't be as precise. It would also cost significantly more. I could go into more detail, but it would be a waste of time. I supervisor in a machine shop at a research facility at the University of Illinois for 22 years. Both of my EDM machines ran constantly.
