How much does the GF AgieCharmilles CUT F 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 F described here is an older wire EDM, not in GF Machining Solutions' current lineup, listed with 350 x 250 x 256 mm of X, Y and Z travel, ±60 mm on U and V, and wire from 0.05 to 0.30 mm.
Its table sits beside those of the older CUT S and CUT X, which share its travel and workpiece rows, and fine work is where the F differs. The AgieCharmilles CUT S lists 0.10 mm minimum wire, Ra 0.10 µm as standard and 250 mm²/min, while the F lists wire from 0.05 mm, Ra 0.08 µm and 240 mm²/min. In other words, the F gives up a little listed speed for finer wire and a better listed finish, which suits mould inserts and small-radius detail.
The envelope takes parts up to 780 x 550 x 256 mm and 500 kg, so a plate much wider than the 350 mm X stroke can be loaded whole. Taper is rated at ±30° at 50 mm of height. Positioning accuracy is listed as 2 µm.
The listed equipment is the UNIQUA touchscreen HMI, an IPG Flex generator and ICP collision protection. The machine weighs 3,600 kg without dielectric and measures 2,400 x 2,100 x 2,300 mm, so check floor capacity and access before it is delivered. These are listed figures for an older machine; confirm them against the machine's own documentation.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Wire from 0.05 mm, finer than the 0.10 mm minimum listed for the AgieCharmilles CUT S
- Listed best finish of Ra 0.08 µm
- 500 kg workpiece limit with parts up to 780 x 550 x 256 mm
- ICP collision protection and the UNIQUA touchscreen HMI are both in the listed table
Limitations
- Taper rating of ±30° applies at 50 mm height
- Listed cutting speed of 240 mm²/min is below the 250 mm²/min listed for the AgieCharmilles CUT S
- At 3,600 kg without dielectric and 2,400 x 2,100 x 2,300 mm, it needs a solid floor and space

Frequently Asked Questions
01
All three list 350 x 250 x 256 mm of travel and parts up to 780 x 550 x 256 mm and 500 kg. The F lists the finest wire (from 0.05 mm) and the best finish, Ra 0.08 µm. The AgieCharmilles CUT S lists 250 mm²/min against 240 mm²/min here. The AgieCharmilles CUT X lists 200 mm²/min and Ra 0.15 µm as standard.
02
Up to 780 x 550 x 256 mm and 500 kg. Axis travel is 350 x 250 x 256 mm, so a large plate can be clamped whole as long as the profiles to be cut fall inside that travel.
03
The listed figures differ. The current AgieCharmilles CUT F 350 lists 350 x 250 x 250 mm of travel, 0.10 to 0.30 mm wire and parts up to 820 x 680 x 250 mm and 400 kg. This older CUT F lists 256 mm of Z, wire from 0.05 mm and a 500 kg part limit.
04
Positioning accuracy is listed as 2 µm and the maximum taper as ±30° at 50 mm of height, with U and V travel of ±60 mm. On a used machine, measure a test part to confirm accuracy before quoting tight work.
