I think you mean EDM, not wire EDM, for boring the holes. Holes are made with an electrode, versus a wire which is used for cutting. SPAM was able to bore all of theirs with standard carbide tools; I don't know how difficult it was (they have a "real" machinist on the team) but as far as I know we didn't ever break any. Still, EDM for powdered metal is probably preferred if you have a choice.

Love those NBD's
