    Or Electrical Discharge Machining. With accuracies of +/-.0001".
    Place I worked in recently had an EDM CNC machine. Was baffeled as to what it was until the owner explained.

    In simple terms its a band saw that uses a coil of brass wire as the blade and cuts under water or ionised fluid.
    See it in action...


    His facility has about 15 high tech cnc machines.
    I built him two huge concrete plinths to carry two heavy machines.

    Effectively spark-erosion under water. I like :)
