Simultaneous Cutting and Grinding
A micropin machining process was performed on brass using a simple cylindrical microtool made of tungsten carbide, fabricated by EDM, which combines cutting and grinding actions. As a result, machining of ultrasmall-diameter pins with a diameter of less than 3 µm was achieved.
