Hi Dan

Don't get me wrong laser cutting is indeed very accurate
In fact it's probably more accurate then needed for most of our work.
I think i would prefer a laser cutting for my parts.
like i said i am lucky enough to have access to wire edm so i use it.
But you i can tell you we reach accuracies of 0.003 mm in holes with wire edm.
Thats not with one simple cut but but wit 5 or 6 cuts.
The last few cuts are done with a very low amp just to polish and take off the last few microns.
OK thats far over specified for our parts but it can be done with wire edm.
