How much does the GF AgieCharmilles CUT 1000 OilTech 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 1000 OilTech is listed here as the oil-dielectric version of the CUT 1000 wire EDM machine, running in a hydrocarbon-based oil instead of deionised water. It does not appear in GF Machining Solutions' current lineup and its table has not been matched to a GF source, so every figure on this page is a listed figure.
Oil is chosen for wire EDM when surface integrity matters more than speed, for example on carbide, where water can leach the binder, or on parts that must not corrode in the tank. The listed table reflects that trade: Ra 0.05 um achievable in oil and a cutting speed of 280 mm²/min in oil dielectric, with an oil-optimized IPG generator.
The mechanical rows match those listed for the AgieCharmilles CUT 1000: 1,000 x 550 x 400 mm of travel, a 1,500 x 1,000 x 400 mm and 3,000 kg workpiece limit, 0.10 - 0.33 mm wire and +/-75 mm U and V axes. The OilTech is listed heavier, at 9,200 kg without dielectric, and larger, at 4,300 x 3,200 x 2,500 mm. An oil machine also brings fire-protection, fume extraction and oil-handling requirements on site, and those should be settled before a used machine is bought.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Listed as running in hydrocarbon-based oil dielectric
- Listed finish of Ra 0.05 um achievable in oil
- Listed with 1,000 x 550 x 400 mm of travel and a 3,000 kg workpiece limit
- Listed with an oil-optimized IPG generator and ICP collision protection
Limitations
- Not in GF's current lineup, and the table is unverified
- Listed cutting speed of 280 mm²/min in oil dielectric, against 350 mm²/min listed for the water-based AgieCharmilles CUT 1000
- Oil dielectric needs fire protection, fume extraction and oil handling on site
- 9,200 kg without dielectric in a 4,300 x 3,200 x 2,500 mm footprint

Frequently Asked Questions
01
On the listed tables, the dielectric and the finish. The OilTech runs in hydrocarbon-based oil and is listed at Ra 0.05 um and 280 mm²/min in oil; the AgieCharmilles CUT 1000 is listed at Ra 0.10 um and 350 mm²/min, at 8,500 kg against 9,200 kg for the OilTech.
02
Oil does not cause the electrolytic attack that water can cause on carbide and some steels, so it is used where surface integrity and finish come before cutting speed. The listed figures for this machine show the expected pattern: a finer finish and a lower cutting speed.
03
A hydrocarbon oil tank brings requirements that a water machine does not: fire protection for the work area, fume extraction and procedures for handling and disposing of the oil. Settle these with your insurer and local regulations before buying.
04
It is not in GF Machining Solutions' current lineup. Treat any offer as a used machine and confirm the travels (1,000 x 550 x 400 mm listed), the dielectric system and the generator from the machine itself.
