About Us

EDM Performance was created in 1989, when owner and founder of North-South Machinery, Jim Swartzbaugh, saw the immediate and growing need for a local supplier for EDM consumables. Having become a successful West Coast distributor of Mitsubishi EDM Products and building a prestigious reputation in the non-traditional machinery industry, Jim understood the importance of accommodating the industry’s needs.

His first step was designing a flush cup that was superior in performance, increasing the speed at which the EDM machine could perform. EDM Performance Accessories quickly grew over the next few years. In 1997, EPA welcomed Tom Adams as President. Together, Jim and Tom were able to bring high-quality wire, filters, resin, and spare parts to EDM customers at a price that shocked the EDM Industry.

Celebrating over 30 years of excellence, EPA continues to grow and expand its product base to meet the industry’s needs. With a multitude of premium products and locations nationwide, EDM Performance Accessories is your Reliable Source for all your EDM and Waterjet needs.
