I used to be a metal polisher/finisher and the most precise EDM jobs still needed to be sent to our shop for work. I don’t know the differences between this unit and what the machine and tool shops I’ve worked with are but when you’re making injection molds EDM-finish isn’t “finished”.
I think the two parts are from the same piece of metal.

Yeah, I was expecting using the power of some electronic band from Germany to cut through metal, much like we used the power of rock in the 80’s to blow cops out of a party with a single guitar chord.
