Abstract

A method and tool for making an extrusion die wherein the extrusion has a lobed helical outer contour. An electrical discharge machining electrode has an identical outer contour. Mounted integrally with the electrode is a lead bar having a guide recess that makes a second helix angle with respect to the axis of the electrode. A guide pin fixedly mounted with respect to the moving assembly is located within the recess. Axial movement and rotation of the electrode through the die blank is controlled by the pin and recess.
