High-Precision Wire EDM Services for Austin and Central Texas
EDM of Garland is a dedicated wire EDM shop based in Garland, Texas, serving Austin-area manufacturers with precision wire cutting, fast turnaround, and next-day FedEx delivery. We’ve been doing this since 1984\. Your parts ship out and arrive on your dock the next morning, no different than working with a shop across town.
What Wire EDM Does That Conventional Machining Can’t
Wire EDM uses a thin, electrically charged wire to cut through conductive materials with extreme precision.
The wire never touches the workpiece. Instead, controlled electrical discharges erode material along a programmed path,
producing cuts as fine as ±0.0001″ with zero mechanical stress on the part.
This matters when you’re working with hardened tool steels, titanium, Inconel, tungsten carbide, or any material
that would destroy conventional cutting tools. Wire EDM handles them all without heat distortion, burrs,
or residual stress.
Common applications for Austin and Central Texas manufacturers include:
- Aerospace components with complex cooling channels and tight-tolerance profiles
- Semiconductor and electronics fixtures requiring micron-level accuracy
- Medical device prototypes and production parts in exotic alloys
- Tooling inserts and die components hardened to 60+ Rockwell
- Defense and military components with strict dimensional requirements
- Oil and gas equipment parts in Inconel, Hastelloy, and other superalloys
Why Austin Manufacturers Work with EDM of Garland
Austin’s precision machining market is growing fast, driven by aerospace, defense, semiconductor,
and advanced manufacturing. But wire EDM is a specialty process, and dedicated EDM shops in the Austin metro
are scarce. That’s why manufacturers in Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Georgetown ship work to EDM of Garland.
Here’s what makes it work:
Next-day delivery, every time.
Your parts ship via FedEx from Garland to Austin overnight. Drop off specs today, get finished parts
on your dock tomorrow morning. Several of our Austin customers tell us our turnaround beats what they
were getting from shops in their own city.
A dedicated EDM shop, not a side service.
We don’t run wire EDM as an afterthought alongside a floor full of CNC mills. EDM is all we do.
Every machine, every operator, every hour is focused on electrical discharge machining.
That specialization shows in the precision of every cut.
Founded in 1984. Family-owned and operated.
Nolan Jackson is the owner. When you call, you talk to the person running your job.
No account managers, no call centers, no runaround. Over four decades of experience
backing every part we ship.
Tolerances your application demands.
We hold ±0.0001″ on production work. Our Charmilles wire machines handle complex 2D profiles,
taper cuts up to 45 degrees, and multi-pass finishing for surface quality that often eliminates
secondary polishing.
Turnkey capability.
Need CNC machining, plasma cutting, or welding alongside your wire EDM work?
We offer full-service fabrication so you can consolidate vendors
and simplify your supply chain.

Industries We Serve in Austin and Central Texas
Austin’s economy supports a broad range of manufacturers who rely on precision wire EDM. We currently serve companies in these sectors:Aerospace and Defense
Turbine blade profiles, actuator housings, structural components in titanium and high-temp alloys. Wire EDM delivers the surface integrity and dimensional accuracy that aerospace specs require, without the mechanical stress of conventional cutting.Semiconductor and Electronics
Austin is a major semiconductor hub. Fixturing, tooling, and test socket components frequently require the kind of micro-precision and exotic material capability that wire EDM provides.Medical Devices
Implant components, surgical instrument prototypes, and production parts in stainless, titanium, and cobalt chrome. Wire EDM produces burr-free edges and smooth finishes critical for medical applications.Oil and Gas Equipment
Valve seats, pump components, and downhole tool parts in hardened and corrosion-resistant alloys. We’ve served Texas oil and gas manufacturers since the 1980s.Tool and Die
Injection mold inserts, extrusion dies, punch and die sets. When your tooling is hardened and needs complex internal profiles cut to tenths, wire EDM is the process. For a full overview of the industries we support, visit our Industries page.How It Works: From Quote to Delivery
- Send your specs. Email your drawings, CAD files, or part descriptions to [email protected]. Include material, tolerances, quantity, and timeline. We accept STP, IGES, DXF, DWG, and PDF formats.
- Get a quote. We review your requirements and respond with clear pricing and realistic lead times. No hidden fees, no vague estimates.
- Ship your material (or we source it). FedEx, UPS, or freight. Austin to Garland is an overnight ship. If you need us to source material, we can do that too.
- We cut your parts. Your job goes on our Charmilles wire machines. We inspect to your specs before anything leaves the shop.
- Parts arrive on your dock. Finished parts ship back to Austin next-day via FedEx. Most jobs go from approval to delivery within days, not weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do Austin manufacturers get parts to and from EDM of Garland? FedEx overnight is the standard. Austin to Garland is a next-day ship in both directions. Several of our Austin and Round Rock customers ship regularly and tell us the turnaround is faster than what they experienced with local shops. For larger or heavier parts, freight shipping works just as well.
What tolerances can you hold on wire EDM? We hold ±0.0001″ on production work. Tolerance capability depends on material, thickness, and geometry. Send us your specs and we'll confirm what's achievable for your specific part.
Do you work with hardened materials? Yes. Wire EDM is ideal for cutting hardened materials because there's no mechanical contact with the workpiece. We regularly cut tool steels at 60+ Rockwell, tungsten carbide, Inconel, and other materials that would damage conventional cutting tools.
What's the maximum part size you can cut? Contact us with your part dimensions and we'll confirm machine capacity for your specific job. Our Charmilles machines handle a wide range of workpiece sizes.
Can you do both wire EDM and sinker EDM? Yes. We operate both wire EDM and sinker EDM machines. If your part needs blind cavities, 3D features, or internal details that wire can't reach, sinker EDM is the solution. We'll recommend the right process based on your geometry.
Do you offer CNC machining or other services alongside wire EDM? We provide CNC machining, plasma cutting, and welding as part of our turnkey fabrication capability. This means you can consolidate multiple manufacturing steps with one shop instead of coordinating between vendors.
What industries do you serve in the Austin area? We work with aerospace, defense, semiconductor, medical device, oil and gas, and general manufacturing companies throughout Central Texas. See our Industries page for more detail on how EDM supports each sector.
How fast can you turn around a wire EDM job? Turnaround depends on complexity, quantity, and current shop load. Many jobs complete within a few days of receiving material. Rush jobs are possible. Call us at (972) 271-9028 to discuss your timeline.
