How much does the GF AgieCharmilles CUT C 350 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a wire edm in this class — not a quote from GF Machining Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The AgieCharmilles CUT C 350 is a 350-size wire EDM listed with 350 x 250 x 250 mm of X, Y and Z travel, a 590 x 440 mm work table and a 500 kg workpiece limit. It is not part of GF Machining Solutions' current lineup, so it is an older machine and will be bought used.
The listed table includes a speed rating: a maximum cutting speed of 230 mm²/min, measured on H13 tool steel 50 mm high with 0.25 mm wire. That is a useful yardstick only when your work resembles the test: thinner or thicker sections, other materials and other wire sizes all move the figure.
Positioning accuracy is listed as ±0.001 mm, with ball screws and thermal compensation on the X, Y, U and V axes. Best finish is Ra 0.18 µm, coarser than the 0.14 µm listed for the current AgieCharmilles CUT E 350, while the workpiece limit of 500 kg is higher than that machine's 400 kg. Taper is rated at ±30° at 100 mm of height, and parts can be up to 250 mm tall.
For unattended work the table lists automatic wire threading with in-cut re-threading, so a broken wire can be rethreaded at the break rather than at the start hole. Wire runs from 0.10 to 0.33 mm, the generator is listed as the IPG in professional configuration, and the control as the AC CUT Pro HMI with Tecform. At approximately 3,200 kg, the machine needs proper rigging and a floor that can carry it.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 500 kg workpiece limit on a 590 x 440 mm table, against 400 kg on the AgieCharmilles CUT E 350
- Automatic wire threading with in-cut re-threading for unattended running
- Listed positioning accuracy of ±0.001 mm, with thermally compensated ball screws on X, Y, U and V
- Listed maximum cutting speed of 230 mm²/min on 50 mm H13 with 0.25 mm wire
- ±30° taper at 100 mm height
Limitations
- Best listed finish is Ra 0.18 µm, coarser than the 0.14 µm of the AgieCharmilles CUT E 350
- Wire starts at 0.10 mm, with no finer option in the listed table
- At approximately 3,200 kg the machine needs rigging and floor preparation
- Workpiece height is capped at 250 mm

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed maximum is 230 mm²/min, measured in H13 steel 50 mm high with 0.25 mm wire. Real cutting rates depend on part height, material, wire and the finish required, so treat the figure as a comparison point and ask for a test cut on your own part.
02
Positioning accuracy is listed as ±0.001 mm, and X, Y, U and V run on ball screws with thermal compensation. On a used machine that figure depends on condition and calibration, so measure a test part before relying on it.
03
The work table is 590 x 440 mm and the workpiece limit is 500 kg, with a maximum height of 250 mm. Axis travel is 350 x 250 x 250 mm, so the contours to be cut must fall within that area.
04
Yes. The table lists automatic wire threading with in-cut re-threading, which lets the machine recover from a wire break mid-cut. Wire diameters run from 0.10 to 0.33 mm.
