Overview
The GF Machining Solutions Cut 2000 S is a high-performance wire EDM machine positioned at the upper end of GF's Cut S series, delivering exceptional surface finish quality, cutting speed, and process reliability for demanding die and mold applications. GF Machining Solutions, part of Georg Fischer AG, has long been recognized as a global leader in EDM technology, and the Cut 2000 S represents a refined expression of that heritage.
The Cut 2000 S is built around GF's Intelligent Power Generator (IPG), which delivers ultra-fine spark discharge pulses capable of achieving surface finishes down to Ra 0.05 µm — mirror-like quality that eliminates polishing steps in many precision mold applications. This generator technology, combined with multi-cut strategy programming on the AC CUT HMI, enables operators to program complex multi-pass sequences that step through roughing, semi-finishing, and mirror finishing automatically.
The machine features a flooded cutting tank with high-flushing-pressure nozzles that maintain stable flushing even on tall, thick workpieces. GF's Automatic Wire Changer (AWC) option allows the machine to switch between two different wire diameters in a single program, enabling rough cuts with 0.25 mm wire and detail passes with 0.1 mm wire without operator intervention.
With X/Y travel of 350 x 250 mm, a maximum workpiece weight of 500 kg, and a taper angle capability of ±30°, the Cut 2000 S is well suited for precision mold inserts, medical device tooling, micro-features, and watch component manufacturing where surface quality is paramount.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Mirror-class surface finish down to Ra 0.05 µm reduces or eliminates polishing
- Intelligent Power Generator (IPG) maximizes cutting speed while preserving wire life
- Optional Automatic Wire Changer (AWC) supports two wire diameters in one program
- Wide ±30° taper angle capability for complex die-clearance and reverse-taper geometries
Limitations
- Smaller X/Y travel (350 x 250 mm) limits workpiece size compared to larger models
- Premium price point reflects GF Machining Solutions' high-end positioning
- AWC and other advanced options add significantly to base machine cost

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The Cut 2000 S is GF's performance-tier machine with the Intelligent Power Generator, mirror finishing down to Ra 0.05 µm, and optional AWC for dual wire diameters. The Cut E 350 is the entry-level model with a more accessible price point and simplified feature set, better suited for shops starting with wire EDM.
02
Yes. GF's IPG generator can be configured for carbide, polycrystalline diamond (PCD), and other difficult-to-machine conductive materials. Dedicated cutting parameters are available in the AC CUT HMI technology database.
03
The Z-axis travel is 256 mm, which defines the maximum workpiece height for full Z-axis positioning. Taper cutting capability is rated at ±30° over 100 mm workpiece height under standard conditions.
