Manufacturing · CNC Machining & Precision Engineering
The die shops that need hardened steel cut to a hair do not know our wire machine is ten minutes away.
Most wire EDM work is job work for other shops. A tool room has a punch, a die insert or a gauge that has to be cut after hardening, and the wire machine is full or absent. They send it to the shop they trust to cut the profile cleanly and return it with the right surface.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
Wire EDM, or wire electrical discharge machining, cuts conductive material with a thin electrically charged wire, which lets a shop shape hardened tool steel to fine tolerances without cutting force. GullySales helps wire EDM shops reach the tool rooms, die makers and precision part makers who send work out, and show what the machine can and cannot cut.

Who it is for
This is written for you if wire EDM is what you make or sell.
- Wire EDM job-work shops serving die, mould and press tool makers
- Tool rooms that run wire machines and sell spare capacity
- Shops cutting punches, die inserts, gauges and small precision profiles
- Owners with a good machine and a customer list that stops at a few tool rooms
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- A shop that wants to sell wire EDM as a general way to cut anything, including parts the process does not suit
- A unit without a way to check a cut profile against the drawing
How buyers choose
What decides the sale of wire EDM.
Thickness, material and profile accuracy
The buyer asks the maximum height the machine can cut, whether it cuts carbide and hardened steel, and the profile accuracy held. Straight answers are valued.
The drawing as a DXF or STEP file
A profile arrives as a CAD file. A shop that converts it without a call back, and reports the offsets used, saves the buyer's engineer a step.
Skim cuts and surface finish
A single rough cut leaves a surface the tool room may not accept. Buyers ask how many skim passes and what finish results, and whether the cost changes.
Rate by cutting length or by hour
Wire EDM is often priced by the machine hour or by cut length. The quote that explains which, and why, is easier to compare.
Where orders are lost
What usually goes wrong when you sell wire EDM.
In the words owners use on the first call.
“Our machine runs well and we have no spare customers”
The wire machine is cheap to run overnight, but there is not enough work to justify running it. The waiting is on enquiries, not capacity.
“Buyers treat us as a pair of hands”
They send a file, expect a price by phone and compare rates between several shops. Cut quality and care are never part of the talk.
“We lose the repeat customer to a closer shop”
Tool rooms like a wire cutter in walking distance. A rival with a machine near them will win the regular work unless you offer pick-up and drop.
The scope
The work we would propose for wire EDM.
Measured on qualified enquiries, quotation requests, follow-up on each quotation, trial orders won and repeat orders. Anything here that needs a platform, directory or tool we have not used with you is confirmed with you before it goes in the scope.
- A wire EDM page with limits statedMaximum cut height, materials, accuracy held, skim cut options and file formats accepted, with an example part.
- Local search and a Google Business ProfileDie and tool shops search for wire cutting near them. The profile lists the machine, the services and the area covered.
- Outreach to tool rooms without a wire machineA list of tool rooms and press tool makers in reach, with a short call offering a trial cut.
- A pick-up and return routineThe reply, pick-up, cut and return written as a route the customer can rely on, for the nearby tool rooms.
- Reactivation of lapsed tool room customersA call to customers who sent work and stopped, asking what changed and offering a trial.
What we do
What you get for wire EDM.
Each deliverable and what it is there to change.
A wire EDM capability card
Machine make, cut height, materials, accuracy, skim options and file formats, in a form that tool rooms can keep on a noticeboard.
A sample cut with surface photographs
A profile cut on a test piece with magnified edge views. It shows the finish that words do not.
A quotation that states rate basis and passes
Whether the rate is by hour or length, how many skim passes, and the finish expected. It makes your price comparable.
A nearby tool room map and call list
Shops within a short drive, grouped by the kind of tooling they make. It keeps outreach to the people who can use you.
A file-handling note
Accepted CAD formats, what is checked before cutting and how offsets are agreed. It lets a buyer send a file with confidence.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries with a CAD file attached
- Quotation requests
- Follow-up on each quotation
- New tool rooms sending work
- Repeat orders
- Lapsed customers recovered
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
What we need from you
What to have ready before we talk.
None of it has to be tidy. We read what you have.
- Wire machine make, model and maximum work size
- Materials cut and the thickest you have done
- A few cut samples you can photograph
- Tool rooms and press shops that already send you work
- Rates you charge and how you quote them
- Any customers who left and where they went
Export and new regions
Selling wire EDM beyond your home market.
Where you sell decides standards, documents, payment terms and freight. We work from Bengaluru and have no overseas office, so for a new region we start from your own enquiries, your existing buyers and the directories you already use.
Wire cut parts for overseas buyers
Overseas tool makers and precision part buyers sometimes source cut profiles from India. Your existing export enquiries show whether the demand is there.
Sending files and samples
Files travel easily, and small cut parts go by courier. The inspection report and material details accompany the first sample.
Time zones and trust
A new overseas buyer needs clear replies in their working hours and a sample cut before a larger lot.
