The wire tool supports dielectric flushing. Flushing dramatically improves cutting reliability and cutting speed. Dielectric (distilled water or EDM oil) removes EDM chips from the cut and cools the wire. Most problems in wire EDM are solved by adding more dielectric flushing. It is recommended to use a 100 PSI water pump with the Wire Tool.
