i use hal for sink edm

there, a tool has:
polarity, on-time, off-time, peak current, target voltage, overburn, 
safety , surface finish and gap loop gain

not quite like a spinny tool ( mill) nor like a spinny wkpc ( lathe )

no rpm, no chip load per tooth, no feed,

similar to laser or photoplotter (maybe )

other users will have tools with attributes you may not have imagined
