Innovative Tool & Die’s knowledge and experience in EDM is unsurpassed in Western Canada making us the “go to” shop for EDM done right. We offer both Die sink EDM and Wire EDM utilizing sophisticated computer controlled and monitored Swiss machines from Charmilles Technologies. All our machines are 4 or 5 axis with glass scales for the ultimate in accuracy. Our wire machine is equipped with auto threading and our sinkers with auto electrode changers. These features allow reliable around the clock operation which results in a faster turnaround at a lower cost.
