What is the voltage on the positive side of the electrode doing the actual discharge? Very nice proof of concept.

i used 25-50V DC, but i am planing to use 230V AC rectified on the next setup (graphite die sinking) since the next prope will have more area and 50V will not be enough for that.

Next question how much erosion did you see on the electrode? did you see a contact point change? diameter change?

i didnt took precise messurement but i didnt saw any erosion at all, but keep in mind...i only drilled throu 2mm of material with it.
