precision machining


Explanation:
I once had a text from En to Ge about EDM - electronic discharge machining, and after my research, I have found that the equivalent in German is Funkenerosion.
So now I presumed that the other way round it might be precision machining and there are 154 hits only on German pages. But my network is down and I can't really cross-check
