Abstract
A process for producing a pattern in the surface coating of an electrode used in an electrochemical machining process comprises the steps of providing a cylinder having a body composed of an electrically conductive material and a surface coating of an electrically insulating material and exposing the surface coating of the cylinder to a source of light in accordance with the pattern. Locators(s) may optionally be formed on the surface of the cylinder to assist in positioning the electrode in a predrilled hole.
