I think you mean EDM, electrical discharge machining. Typical wire EDM usually needs a hole all the way through the material to start, but sinker EDM would work. Interesting idea, wonder if anyone's tried it.

There are edm milling setups. I'm not sure what the major constraints are but I'm assuming the usual: accuracy, cost, repeatbility.
