How much does the GF Machining AgieCharmilles CUT 3000 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 3000 S is a wire EDM listed with 500 x 350 x 256 mm of X, Y and Z travel, ±70 mm on the U and V axes and wire from 0.10 to 0.30 mm. GF Machining Solutions does not carry it in its current lineup, so a buyer today is dealing with a used machine.
Check the travel on the machine itself before anything else. The same table carries a second travel row of 350 x 250 x 256 mm, which is the stroke of the smaller AgieCharmilles CUT 2000 S, and its workpiece limits of 750 x 550 x 250 mm and 200 kg are identical to that model too. If the 500 x 350 mm row is right, this machine reaches further across a die plate than the smaller one; if not, the two cover the same area.
The other rows are straightforward. Taper is rated at ±30° at 100 mm of height. Wire of 0.05 to 0.07 mm is optional, for details that need a smaller corner radius than the standard range allows. Best finish appears twice, as Ra 0.07 µm and as 0.05 µm, so a test cut is the way to settle it.
The listed generator is the Intelligent Power Generator (IPG), the control is the AC CUT HMI, and the dielectric is deionized water. Spools of up to 25 kg can be loaded, which suits long cuts through larger plates.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Listed X, Y and Z travel of 500 x 350 x 256 mm
- ±30° taper at 100 mm height with ±70 mm of U/V travel
- Optional 0.05-0.07 mm wire for fine detail beside the standard 0.10 to 0.30 mm
- Spools of up to 25 kg for long unattended cuts
Limitations
- The table holds a second travel row of 350 x 250 x 256 mm, so the real stroke must be confirmed on the machine
- Workpiece weight is limited to 200 kg, including fixtures
- Best-finish rows disagree: Ra 0.07 µm in one, 0.05 µm in the other
- Workpiece height is capped at 250 mm

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The headline row lists 500 x 350 x 256 mm. A second row in the same table reads 350 x 250 x 256 mm, so the two cannot both be right. Run each axis to its limits when inspecting a machine, or check the nameplate and manual, before quoting work that needs the larger stroke.
02
On the listed figures, travel is the only difference: 500 x 350 x 256 mm here against 350 x 250 x 256 mm on the AgieCharmilles CUT 2000 S. U/V travel of ±70 mm, the ±30° taper at 100 mm, the wire range, the 750 x 550 x 250 mm part size and the 200 kg limit are the same.
03
0.10 to 0.30 mm as standard, with 0.05 to 0.07 mm listed as an option. Without the option, 0.10 mm wire sets the smallest inside radius the machine can cut. Spools of up to 25 kg fit.
04
200 kg, on parts up to 750 x 550 x 250 mm. For comparison, the current AgieCharmilles CUT E 350 is rated for 400 kg. Large die plates in tool steel reach 200 kg quickly, so weigh the blank and fixture together.
