Electrical Discharge Machines for Sale

Used wire EDM machines generally range from roughly $14,500 for older units like a 1997 Mitsubishi FX10 to well over $100,000 for newer, low-hour machines with linear shaft motors, glass scales, and modern CNC controls. Final price depends on age, condition, control system, and included tooling or warranty.

An electrical discharge machine (EDM) removes material from an electrically conductive workpiece using controlled electrical sparks between an electrode and the part, submerged in dielectric fluid. This non-contact process cuts hardened metals and complex geometries with high precision, making it essential for mold, die, and tooling manufacturing.

Wire EDM uses a thin traveling wire electrode to cut profiles through a workpiece, ideal for dies, punches, and intricate 2D/3D shapes. Sinker EDM uses a shaped electrode plunged into the material to form cavities, commonly used for mold cavities, deep pockets, and complex 3D die-sinking operations.

EDM machines are widely used in mold and die making, aerospace component production, automotive parts manufacturing, and medical device manufacturing. Their ability to machine hardened tool steels, exotic alloys, and intricate micro-features makes them essential wherever tight tolerances and complex geometries are required.

Yes, refurbished EDM machines, such as those in the Encore Group line, offer a cost-effective alternative to new equipment. These machines are reconditioned and often backed with installation, training, and warranty support, providing reliable performance for shops with budget constraints.

Most EDM machine purchases include installation, local operator and advanced training, technical support, and access to consumables like wire, filters, and resin tanks. Many dealers also offer test cuts, time studies, and application engineering support to help optimize machine setup and long-term utilization.
