Is there anywhere that offers training on EDM machine operation. I went to school for CNC programming years ago and never encountered anything about EDM. I have been doing some research to find training or a 5 day/2 week/crash course training on EDM but have not found much.

The company I work for is heading in the direction of overmolding electric cables and I know an EDM would be nice to have to cut the cavities. The molds we were purchasing were roughed on a 3 axis cnc and then finished with an EDM. Is there a huge amount to learn to run an EDM? I am in the position right now to pick out the equipment that I will need to completely build the molds in-house. We currently have the equipment to build the molds out of aluminum and with basic geometry but with the right equipment could replicate the quality that we were purchasing (hardened tool steel with more complex geometry).

I am located in upstate NY.

Thanks
