Make: Online : Electrolytic Machining of Brass

Electrolytic Machining of Brass

There is another interesting post over at The Steampunk Workshop, this time about Electrolytic machining of brass. The results are varied, but very promising. With a little more experimenting, this could be a viable DIY alternative to hand cutting, CNC, EDM or lasers. - Link

I bought an ebook a while back on building your own electrical discharge milling machine, for cheap. Upon seeing this, I'll have to build one and see if I can have some fun.

oh, that's completely different from the EDM machine I've got plans for. I think the method in the link would be better for fabricating than reproduction but still something to think about.
