To provide an electrolytic cutting system and method not producing burrs and/or nonsymmetrical edges.
An electrolytic cutting tool (80) of the system includes a first cathode (84) positioned at a first gap (99) away from a first side of a workpiece (82), and a second cathode (86) positioned at a second gap (101) away from a second side of the workpiece (82) and positioned on a side opposite to the first cathode (84). The electrolytic cutting tool (80) also includes a first electrolyte passage (226) configured to flow a first electrolyte through the first gap (99) between the first cathode (84) and the workpiece (82), a second electrolyte passage (226) configured to flow a second electrolyte through the second gap (101) between the second cathode (86) and the workpiece (82), and a power supply (144) configured to flow current through the first gap (99) and the second gap (101) to cause electrolytic dissolution through the workpiece (82) from both the first side and the second side.
