Cutting of materials by spark erosion

TL;DR: In this article, a method of cutting a material, which may be insulating or conducting, which includes the steps of placing a pair of parallel spaced electrodes, preferably taking the form of a pairof wires, close to or in contact with the material, applying a voltage across the electrodes and causing relative movement between the electrodes, as the spark erodes the material to effect the cut.
