The use of di-electric oil on the UPV-3 machine, which is the same di-electric oil used by Sinker EDM, allows for a smaller discharge spark gap (i.e., the gap between the wire electrode and the workpiece at the time of electrical discharge) than traditional deionized water di-electric can support. Unlike deionized water which will always be slightly conductive, di-electric oil is electrically neutral and will support machining with much lower power levels to achieve greater precision, higher-level surface finish, and improved metallurgical quality.
