How much does the GF AgieCharmilles CUT S 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 S is an older wire EDM that GF Machining Solutions no longer lists in its current lineup. Its table gives 350 x 250 x 256 mm of X, Y and Z travel, ±60 mm on U and V, and a listed cutting speed of 250 mm²/min, the highest of the three older 350-size tables (CUT F, CUT S and CUT X).
Speed is the reason to look at it. The AgieCharmilles CUT F lists 240 mm²/min and the AgieCharmilles CUT X 200 mm²/min on the same travel. For production die work where roughing time dominates, that row matters more than a finer finish. The table gives no test conditions for the speed figure, so use it to compare these machines, not to estimate cycle times.
Finish is listed as Ra 0.10 µm as standard, with sub-Ra 0.08 µm achievable. Wire runs from 0.10 to 0.30 mm, which is enough for most die work but rules out the smallest inside radii. Taper is rated at ±30° at 50 mm of height, and positioning accuracy is listed as 2 µm.
Parts up to 780 x 550 x 256 mm and 500 kg fit. The machine weighs 3,800 kg without dielectric and measures 2,450 x 2,100 x 2,320 mm. Its listed equipment is the UNIQUA touchscreen HMI, the IPG generator and ICP collision protection.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Listed cutting speed of 250 mm²/min, above the 240 mm²/min of the AgieCharmilles CUT F and 200 mm²/min of the AgieCharmilles CUT X
- Ra 0.10 µm standard finish, with sub-Ra 0.08 µm listed as achievable
- Parts up to 780 x 550 x 256 mm and 500 kg
- ICP collision protection and the UNIQUA touchscreen HMI
Limitations
- Wire starts at 0.10 mm, against 0.05 mm on the AgieCharmilles CUT F
- 3,800 kg without dielectric and 2,450 x 2,100 x 2,320 mm of floor space to plan for
- Taper rating of ±30° applies at 50 mm height

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed maximum cutting speed is 250 mm²/min. No test conditions are given with it, so it is best used to compare with the older CUT F and CUT X tables: the AgieCharmilles CUT F lists 240 mm²/min and the AgieCharmilles CUT X 200 mm²/min.
02
Ra 0.10 µm as standard, with sub-Ra 0.08 µm listed as achievable. Reaching the lower figure normally takes extra skim passes, so ask for a sample cut in your material if finish drives the purchase.
03
Up to 780 x 550 x 256 mm and 500 kg. Travel is 350 x 250 x 256 mm, so the profile must fall within that area even when the plate is much larger. U and V travel ±60 mm.
04
Confirm the travel, the 2 µm positioning figure and the finish on a test part, and check that the ICP collision protection works. Plan for 3,800 kg without dielectric and a footprint of 2,450 x 2,100 x 2,320 mm when arranging transport and floor space.
