EDM tool for surface finish

2004

I need to EDM a custom carbide tool in order to achieve a 3.2 - 6.4 (mm) Ra finish, can someone help me on how deep and how much separation do I need to put on this tool? This will be used to machine Cast Iron.

Thanks in advance

Carlos,
Your question refers more to a machining operation and this forum deals more with finishing operations. Vendors of EDM machines, electrodes or peers with more experience in these matters can better help you, I guess. G. Marrufo-Mexico
