This paper studies the influence of factors contributing to electrode wear during the micro-electro discharge machining (EDM) process. The paper proposes a method for calculating the volumetric wear ratio based only on geometrical information obtained from the process. The objective of the work is to investigate the suitability of micro-EDM electrode wear compensation methods. Electrode shape deformation and random variations in the volumetric wear are studied as two main factors affecting the applicability of wear compensation methods as well as indicating the accuracy achievable with micro-EDM. EDM drilling and EDM milling are regarded as separate processes as they require different approaches in investigating and implementing the results of the study.
