How much does the Makino Sinker EDM Machines cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a sinker edm (ram edm) in this class — not a quote from Makino. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
Makino Sinker EDM Machines is a summary page for Makino's die-sinking EDM range rather than one machine, so it does not correspond to a single model in Makino's current lineup. Its table names the EDAC1, EDGE2i, EDGE3i, EDNC-6, EDNC-8, EDNC-10, EDNC-15, EDNC-17 and EDNC-20 and gives ranges across them. Those ranges could not be matched to a Makino source, and each named model has its own page with its own figures.
The ranges do not cover the whole list. The EDAC1, at the small end, has 220 mm (8.66 in) of X travel, below the 250 mm (9.8 in) bottom of the listed X range, and the largest EDNC machines go past the 1,100 mm (43.3 in) top of it. Read the ranges as a rough picture of the family, not as limits a buyer can plan around.
At the small end, the EDAC1 has a 350 x 250 mm (13.8 in x 9.8 in) table with 220 x 180 x 220 mm of travel. The EDAF2 has 350 x 250 x 250 mm (13.78 x 9.8 x 9.8 in) of travel on a 550 × 350 mm (21.65 in x 13.78 in) table, and the EDAF3 has 450 x 351 x 351 mm (17.7 x 13.8 x 13.8 in). From there the EDGE and EDNC machines step up in travel, table size and workpiece weight, which is why the choice between them starts with part size and weight.
The control row lists Makino Hyper-i, a touchscreen control, for all named models. Other rows name HS-Rib, ArcFree gap monitoring and SGF flushing, and give accuracy and surface-finish figures for the EDNC series; none of these could be confirmed, so compare models on their own pages instead.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Names nine sinker models, from the compact EDAC1 to the large EDNC-20, so the range can be scanned on one page
- The table lists the Makino Hyper-i touchscreen control for all named models
- The smallest named model, the EDAC1, has a 350 x 250 mm (13.8 in x 9.8 in) table for small precision parts
- The range runs from compact machines such as the EDAC1, with 220 mm (8.66 in) of X, to the large EDNC machines for big molds
Limitations
- This is a range summary, not one machine, and its figures could not be matched to a Makino source
- The listed X range of 250 - 1,100 mm (9.8 - 43.3 in) leaves out the EDAC1's 220 mm (8.66 in)
- Rows naming HS-Rib, ArcFree and SGF could not be confirmed and should not be used to compare models

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table names the EDAC1, EDGE2i, EDGE3i, EDNC-6, EDNC-8, EDNC-10, EDNC-15, EDNC-17 and EDNC-20. It summarises them as ranges rather than describing one machine, so use each model's own page for its travels, table, workpiece weight and generator.
02
Treat them as a rough guide only. They could not be matched to a Makino source, and they do not cover every named model: the EDAC1 has 220 mm (8.66 in) of X travel, below the listed 250 mm (9.8 in) minimum.
03
Of the nine models named, the EDAC1 is the smallest: a 350 x 250 mm (13.8 in x 9.8 in) table with 220 mm (8.66 in) of X, 180 mm (7.08 in) of Y and 220 mm (8.66 in) of Z.
04
The table lists the Makino Hyper-i touchscreen control for all named models. The control features Makino describes differ from model to model, so check the individual model page for the functions of the machine you are considering.
