Industries We Serve

For over 36 years, EDM of Garland has delivered precision wire and sinker EDM services to industries where tolerances are measured in ten-thousandths of an inch—and failure isn’t an option.

As one of the few EDM shops in Dallas with sinker capabilities, we handle work that other shops turn away. Complex cavities. Hardened steels. Tight deadlines. When you call, you talk directly to the machinists doing your work—not a sales team.

Here’s how we serve each industry:

OIL & GAS

Downhole conditions don’t forgive sloppy tolerances. Neither do we.

Oil and gas equipment operates under extreme pressure, corrosive environments, and punishing temperatures. The components that keep wells producing and refineries running need to be machined from materials that resist what the field throws at them—Inconel, hardened tool steels, exotic alloys—and cut to specifications that ensure reliable sealing and flow control.

Common oil & gas applications:

  • Valve seats and flow-control orifices
  • Downhole tool components
  • Pump housings and impeller assemblies
  • Wellhead and pressure control parts
  • Hydraulic system components

When equipment downtime costs thousands per hour, you need a shop that delivers on time. Call us.

Aeronautical & Aerospace

Aircraft components don’t get second chances at 35,000 feet.

Aerospace manufacturing demands precision that traditional machining can’t always deliver. Turbine blades with complex cooling channels. Actuator housings with intricate internal geometries. Structural components machined from titanium and high-temperature alloys that would destroy conventional cutting tools.

EDM is different. Our process removes material through electrical discharge—no mechanical force, no stress on the workpiece, no distortion of the metal’s properties. That’s why aerospace engineers specify EDM for mission-critical components where surface integrity matters as much as dimensional accuracy.

Common aerospace applications:

  • Turbine and engine components
  • Actuator housings and brackets
  • Landing gear parts
  • Fuel system components
  • Tooling and fixtures for aerospace production

DEFENSE

When the mission depends on precision, there’s no margin for error.

Defense contractors need manufacturing partners who understand that “close enough” doesn’t exist. Guidance system housings. Ordnance components. Secure-communications enclosures. These parts must perform exactly as designed, every time, under conditions most equipment never sees.

EDM excels with the hardened alloys and exotic metals common in defense applications. We machine components that require tight tolerances and complex internal features—geometries that conventional machining can’t touch without compromising the material.

Common defense applications:

  • Guidance and navigation housings
  • Weapons system components
  • Communications equipment enclosures
  • Hardened-steel assemblies
  • Prototype and low-volume production runs

MANUFACTURING & TOOLING

Your production line is only as reliable as your tooling. Mold makers, die shops, and OEMs across Texas rely on EDM for precision tooling that conventional machining can’t produce. Injection mold cavities with fine detail. Extrusion dies with complex profiles. Punch and die sets hardened to 60+ Rockwell. When your tooling needs to run millions of cycles without failure, the precision of the original cut determines everything. We also repair damaged tooling. Broken punches, worn cavities, obstructed parts—if there’s material to remove, we can fix it. Often faster and cheaper than replacing the tool entirely. Common manufacturing applications:
  • Injection mold cavities and cores
  • Extrusion and stamping dies
  • Punch and die sets
  • Prototype parts and short-run production
  • Tool repair and refurbishment

Why EDM of Garland?

What we offer is over 40 years of precision EDM experience, sinker capabilities most shops don’t have, and direct access to the machinists doing your work. When you call EDM of Garland, you talk to someone who knows your job—not a call center.

Founded in 1984 by Wayne Jackson and now led by his grandson Nolan, EDM of Garland has built its reputation one precision part at a time. Our customers come back because we deliver what we promise: quality work, honest timelines, and tolerances as tight as .0001″.

If your project needs precision EDM—wire cut, sinker, or both—we’d like to hear about it.
