i dont know any numbers, but used for fits like gas piston cylinders. concave feature size would be limited to the wire diameter, so maybe like .1mm radius? the wire is passed thru material from a spool and used only once, so precision is in the range of the machine movement - say ten microns or better. feedrates are calculated in cubic inches (centimeters) per hour if i remember correctly - so, very slow. but i think the process is used to produce gear surfaces. i dont know about helical gears, although one end of the cutting wire can be made to move independently of the other.
