Low profile design of System 3R's
tooling allows upper wire guide
clearance with little risk of
collision when cutting thin parts.

explains.
System 3R has been involved in EDM tooling for
over 25 years. In 1983 they introduced a rational
tooling system for wire EDM. At that time, the
wire EDM machine was just beginning to
command attention as a valuable tool
in the modern machine shop.
In the early 80's when cutting speeds were only 4 to
6 sq. in. per hour a long set up time was
tolerable since in many cases the job would probably
take several days. However, with wire EDM speeds approaching
and exceeding 30 sq. in.,
