Introduction to EDM Hole Poppers at SST Consumables

SST's EDM Drilling Machines, known as "hole poppers," are engineered for high-precision, efficient drilling of small-diameter holes in hard and conductive materials. Commonly used in industries such as mold making, aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing, these machines utilize specialized electrodes to rapidly create starter and intricate holes where conventional techniques are ineffective.

SST Consumables offers a comprehensive range of EDM hole poppers, from compact CNC models suitable for high-accuracy applications to advanced systems with automated tool changers for unattended operation. These machines feature:

  • Precision Control: Advanced CNC or manual operation options, with user-friendly touch screens and programmable functions.
  • Versatility: Capable of drilling through tough materials and producing both through-holes and blind holes in a wide variety of workpieces.
  • Consumables Solutions: SST provides a broad selection of high-quality EDM drilling electrodes and tubes in copper and brass, available in various sizes to support both single- and multi-channel requirements, ensuring consistent performance and efficiency for every job.

As North America's leading EDM consumables supplier, SST Consumables combines innovative machine technology with a full portfolio of essential accessories, making them a trusted partner for precision EDM hole drilling applications
