In my younger years when I was learning to become a machinist I was introduction to the world of EDM where else but at a yard sale! I purchased two boxes of old Popular Science and Popular Mechanics magazines which I read through during a time of unemployment.
In one of the magazines, the basic EDM theory was explained, along with details of how to build a very simple, manually operated EDM. I built the machine and really became obsessed with the EDM process, but the task of manually advancing the electrode was no fun!
The EDM process is slow, a person could spend lots of time twisting handles back and forth a few degrees at a time and accomplishing very little!
Several months passed and I was at an electronic store, I think it was Radio Shack , looking through electronic books; I read a description of a window comparator circuit, and wondered if this circuit might be used to control the position of the electrode. The circuit was built and connected to a relay to control a DC motor.

As a result, it is possible to erode or "burn" the shape of the electrode into the workpiece. If you need a square hole, or other unique shape in a part make a square electrode and burn it into the part.
This machine is great for removing broken bolts, taps, easy outs, drills, and studs etc. NEW- Revised edition with more photo's drawings and sources. Electrical Discharge Machining EDM , may sound very expensive and high tech, but you can build this affordable tabletop machine from surprisingly common components, most of which are available from Radio Shack. No exotic parts or special tuning required, and no circuit boards to etch.
The basic idea is to move an electrode very close to the work piece, and repeatedly produce a spark between the two while flushing out debris with a dielectric fluid. You first create an electrode in the shape you want out of copper, brass or graphite.
It is then fed slowly down into the metal workpiece while maintaining a precise spark gap.
