Built for difficult materials. Engineered for precision.
Sodick’s K Series Small Hole EDMs are designed to drill where conventional methods fail, through hardened tool steels, cemented carbide, titanium, and heat-treated workpieces. With rigid linear motor technology, ceramic components, and intelligent software built in, every machine in the K Series delivers unwavering accuracy.
Rigid linear motors
Unlike ball screw drives that wear down and lose accuracy over time, Sodick’s rigid linear motors use a non-contact drive mechanism, which means no mechanical degradation or backlash. Backed by a track record of over 65,000 units, linear motors enable machining quality without drift.
*The K1BL does not include a linear motor.
Componentes cerámicos
Part of every K-Series EDM, ceramics are approximately 50% lighter than cast iron, reducing the mass of moving parts, lowering motor load, and improving energy efficiency. They also provide extremely high electrical insulation, keeping discharge energy precisely between electrode and workpiece, along with high rigidity and long-term wear resistance.
LN Assist: intuitive operation for complex jobs
LN Assist gives operators a simplified graphics interface with automatic calculations and macro functions built in. Complex cutting layouts can be programmed and managed by operators of any skill level, and once setup is complete, the software positions cutting locations and coordinates settings automatically.

Quality consumables from the team you trust
OEM electrodes
Sodick offers a wide range of Small Hole EDM electrodes for every application, spanning single channel, dual channel, 8 channel, and solid configurations in a variety of metals. Our team can help you identify the right electrode type for your material and hole requirements.
DI fluids and exchange programs
Without the right dielectric fluid, your spark gap loses accuracy. Sodick provides various grades and types of EDM fluid engineered to fit your machine’s requirements and keep it running at peak performance. Our DI exchange programs, available nationwide, minimize downtime and keep your resin tank filled.
Start-hole drilling for wire EDM
Precision start holes are a natural application for the K Series, particularly the K1C, which is designed specifically to create start holes for wire cut EDM quickly and without specialized operator experience.
Aerospace and medical components
From turbine cooling holes to surgical instrument features, Sodick Small Hole EDMs deliver unrelenting accuracy and repeatability that high-stakes industries require.
Difficult-to-machine materials
Carbide, titanium, hardened tool steel — materials that stop conventional drills are exactly what the K Series is built for.
