I greatly enjoy building things. After designing and building two cars from scratch ("Midlana" and "Kimini") I've made several knives, and built a few firearms, modifying them, but always with other people's parts. Recently, I built a wire EDM machine and have a (possibly bad) habit of building something for the sheer coolness of it, without giving much thought about how it'll be used. Such is the case here. I'm wondering if there are gun-related modifications that are best handled by wire EDM, specifically:
1. Uses an electrified 0.01" diameter wire to cut nearly any pattern in any metal.
2. EDM's strength is that it can cut very small and intricate patterns in even the hardest metals.
3. It is a non-contact process, with no cutting load, and does not cause any heat distortion.
4. It can do inside and outside cuts, though outside cuts are simpler, not requiring rethreaded the wire.
5. My particular machine has a working envelope of approximately 10" x 10" and can cut material up to several inches thick.
I am not a vendor or business owner - I'm not selling anything but am asking to see if there's any unique applications that the process could fill.
