In a molding die machining electrode, slit grooves of a molding die are
machined with a slit groove forming part having a substantially circular
outer circumference by ranging hexagonal erected wall parts in a row;
while the inner circumference of a slit groove forming part overlaps with
the erected wall parts in the outer circumference of the slit groove
forming part, the outside slit grooves are machined with the slit groove
forming part having a substantially circular outer circumference. The
further outside slit grooves are machined with the slit groove forming
part of the third electrode. A plurality of the slit groove forming parts
are radially divided and overlapping portions between the plurality of
the slit groove forming parts are formed substantially coaxially with a
molded body. The areas of the slit groove forming parts are designed to
nearly similar values, suppressing the difference in wear of the
electrodes.
