[QUOTE="daveosok, post: 28841"] Brent I would suggest a ram/sinker style edm for machining ramps. We had an autofatage (sp?) machine which was used to stress relieve the tubing since Ti has a memory and wants to return to its orignal shape (when dealing with tubing that is) this machine would pressurise the tubing. We have taken 3/8ths lines up to 22,000 psi before bursting and that was with .049 wall thickness. EDMing is by no means the fastest way to do anything it does take a long time but the accuracy is about as close as your going to get. Our machine is set right now to .00006 millinoths and has a repeatability of .00002. It can produce a 10~14 micro finish and if we get the .004 thou diamond guides for the wire I can produce a 3~4 microfinish. Its a neat machine and very interesting to see what comes out of it.
