Text Box: REASON 1 Pricing
Cu-TRODE™ is competitively priced with both Graphite & Tellurium Copper, and is 1/3 to 1/2 the price of Copper impregnated graphite.
REASON 2 Cleaner
Tired of dealing with Graphite dust from along with the Disposal of spent electrodes. Cu-TRODE™ is not messy, dusty or migratory like Graphite dust and the Cu-TRODE™ chips are worth money!

Text Box: REASON 3 Scrap Disposal
The Cu-TRODE™ chips and spent electrode can be sold as Number 2 copper to any recycler of non-ferrous metals.
REASON 4 Electrode Wear
With Cu-TRODE™, EDM electrode wear/consumption is reduced, in some case by as much as 60% when compared to graphite.
REASON 5 Faster Burns
Typically EDM burn speeds Text Box: when compared to graphite are much faster with Cu-TRODE™ amounting to better machine utilization.
REASON 6 Liquid Effect
With Cu-TRODE™ cutting fluids, coolants, dielectric fluids have NO adverse on the effect while making electrodes or re-machining.
REASON 7 Cutter Wear
Cu-TRODE™ does not present the cutting tool wear issues common when machining Graphite. Text Box: Typically when EDMing either steel or copper alloy workpieces, fewer electrodes are needed when using Cu-TRODE™. The benefit of making fewer electrodes, both from raw material cost and reduced machining time makes Cu-TRODE™ the Text Box: more profitable choice. This is a result of reduced electrode wear during burning. With Cu-TRODE™, there is Less end wear and Less corner wear. FEWER ELECTRODES means fewer tool changes, meaning the machine is Text Box: burning rather than making tool changes. FEWER ELECTRODES also means fewer EDM holders commited to jobs. This all means cost savings to your business operations.

Text Box: WHY Cu-TRODE™?
LOWER COST
CLEANER TO MACHINE
SCRAP HAS VALUE
FEWER ELECTRODES TO MAKE
FASTER BURN RATES
NO CONTAMINATION FROM CUTTING FLUIDS
NOT ABRASIVE TO CUTTING TOOLS LIKE GRAPHITE IS
