There is disclosed a device for electrical discharge machining of a work in the form of a roll for providing a satinized indented surface by satinizing operation to a predetermined surface roughness, wherein two rows of heads each mounting one or more electrodes are mounted on either sides of the rotary axis of the roll for increasing the number of heads and thereby reducing the working time. One of the rows of heads is movably mounted on a shaft on the side of roll handling operation of the roll for transiently displacing the heads in their entirety to an out-of-the-way position for solving the problem caused by roll handling and by the increase in the number of heads.

Device for electrical discharge machining of a work in the form of a roll

There is disclosed a method for electrical discharge machining of a workpiece in the form of a roll by application of an electrical voltage across said workpiece and an electrode or electrodes mounted opposite to each other with a predetermined gap therebetween, and more particularly such method wherein each such electrode is formed by plural electrode segments separated from one another by insulators, and the electrical discharge operation is performed with said electrode segments in each electrode short-circuited to one another in the rough machining step and with said electrode segments insulated from one another in the finish machining step for reducing the working time.
