Eliminate cobalt depletion entirely with oil dielectric technology. Unlike water-based systems that cause corrosion and electrolysis in carbide materials, the AX350L delivers higher quality carbide parts with longer tool life and more predictable outcomes. Your carbide workpieces can remain submerged indefinitely without degradation, perfect for precision die work.

Enable true lights-out machining for nights and weekends. Oil dielectric allows workpieces to remain submerged for days or weeks without corrosion concerns, unlike water dielectric that requires immediate workpiece removal. Ideal for shops maximizing machine utilization during unmanned hours.

Achieve tighter tolerances with smaller discharge gaps inherent to oil dielectric machining. Minimal overburn reduces secondary operations and scrap rates while delivering the precision required for medical devices, aerospace components, and high-precision dies. Less rework means lower costs and faster delivery.

Produce superior surface finishes in fewer passes, reducing cycle times while meeting stringent finish requirements. Oil dielectric’s lower spark intensity creates finer surface textures ideal for precision dies, molds, and components requiring minimal post-processing. Get the results you need without additional finishing operations.
