Used CNC EDM Machines We Buy
Used CNC EDM machines fill 220 listings here, and Machine Tool Exchange buys them direct from the shops that own them, no broker and no auction involved. Makino is the most common builder here at 164 of the 220 machines, Fanuc follows at 31, with 141 distinct model numbers across them. Here is what moves a number.

What Is on This EDM Page Right Now
This page holds 220 used EDM machines from nine manufacturers, and those are catalog counts rather than a rounded selection. Across the 220 listings there are 141 distinct model numbers, which tells you close to half of what sits here is a one-off configuration rather than a stocked model line, so each machine gets scoped on its own instead of priced off a model table. Concentration at the top is heavy. Makino is the most common builder on this page at 164 of the 220 machines, Fanuc follows at 31 and Chevalier at 11, which puts 206 of the 220 machines with three builders. A build year is recorded on 164 of the 220 listings, and the machines where a build year is recorded run from 1986 through 2023. The remainder carry no recorded year at all, which is ordinary on EDM equipment that has changed hands or come through a plant move.
Model Families We See Most on These EDM Machines
Model families are where this page has real depth. ROBOCUT is the largest family here at 19 listings, then EDNC at 17, U3 at 12, U6 at 9 and SP43 at 8. EDGE2 and EDNC43 each show 7. Four more sit at 6 apiece: EDAF3, EDNC85, EDAF2 and EDNC6. ALPHA and DUO43 each show 5, and EDNC65, EDNC85S and EDNC64 sit at 4. ROBOCUT is Fanuc's own wire EDM product line. Fanuc is on this page at 31 listings. The catalog spells one designation several ways, and counting those variants together, 56 listings carry a model number beginning with EDNC. Repetition is worth something to a seller. When a platform turns up on this page again and again, we have scoped that platform before and already know which generator, control generation and consumable wear items to look at, so the first number comes back faster than it does on a machine nobody here has handled yet.
What Moves the Offer on a Used EDM
Start with what we ask for on every machine: brand, model, year, condition and control type. Photos help speed the evaluation up but are not required. From there an EDM gets scoped on things a mill never raises. The generator or power supply generation carries as much weight as the frame, and so do the control generation, the work tank size and the X, Y and Z travels. On a wire machine we ask whether automatic wire threading still threads reliably and what shape the wire drive and guides are in. On a sinker we ask about the C-axis, whether an electrode changer comes with it, and the electrode holding or quick-change pallet setup. We ask about the dielectric and filtration system too, resin and filter condition included, since that is the item most often neglected on an idle machine. Jason Puuri scopes these himself, and whether the machine still holds tolerance sits under all of it.
Wire, Sinker and Hole-Drilling Machines We Buy
We buy wire EDM and sinker EDM, also called ram EDM, in all sizes and all control generations, in any condition. Small-hole and hole-drilling machines count too, and one is on this page right now, a Makino BX3 hole-driller. EDM equipment is essential to tool, die and mold shops, and precision wire and sinker machines from the top builders stay in demand on the secondary market, so we buy them whether or not they are cutting parts today. The practical note for a seller is that a wire machine and a sinker machine get scoped on entirely different things. Threading reliability plus wire drive and guide wear drive one conversation. C-axis, electrode handling and tank capacity drive the other. That is why the model number and the control generation tell us more in a first email than a general description of condition, and they are the first things we ask for.
Selling One Outright Instead of Listing or Auctioning It
MTE is a direct buyer, not a broker. We purchase the machine outright, so there is no consignment, no listing fee and no waiting on a third party to find a buyer for you. There is no net-30 invoicing either and no waiting for an auction to close, because payment happens at pickup. Pickup is free nationwide. We arrange the rigging, crating and freight at no cost to you, and service covers all 50 states. Any brand, any condition and any quantity works here. Running, idle or decommissioned, a single machine or a full facility, all of it on one quote and one pickup schedule. That matters most when a shop is clearing floor space against a deadline, because the coordinating is ours to do rather than yours. Machine Tool Exchange is an affiliate of Superior Machine Tools. Call 800-822-9524 or send the machine details through our online form to start.
The Rest of the EDM Lineup We Buy
Beyond Makino, Fanuc and Chevalier, six more manufacturers sit on this page, and together they account for 11 of the 220 machines: Brother at 3, Toshiba at 3, Okuma at 2, and one each from Mazak, Walter and Emag. A thin count on a builder is not a signal that we are uninterested in it. It reflects what is on the page the day you read it, nothing more. The list of EDM builders we buy runs wider than the list we hold. Mitsubishi, Sodick, Agie Charmilles and GF Machining are not on the page today but sit squarely inside what we buy, and one of those gets scoped the same way a Makino does. The same goes for a mixed floor. A shop clearing an EDM cell usually has mills and lathes going out at the same time, and those ride on the same quote and the same pickup schedule.
Common questions
How do I sell a used EDM machine?
Send the brand, model, year, condition and control type. A quote typically comes back within 24 to 48 hours. Accept it and we arrange pickup and pay you there.
What details do you need to quote my EDM machine?
Brand, model, year, condition and control type. Photos speed it up but are not required. On an EDM, add the generator or power supply generation, which carries as much weight as the frame.
Do you buy wire EDM and sinker EDM, or only one type?
Both. Wire EDM and sinker, also called ram EDM, in all sizes and control generations, in any condition. Small-hole and hole-drilling EDMs too.
Do I pay for rigging and freight?
No. MTE arranges rigging, crating and freight at no cost to you, in all 50 states. Scheduling the crew is our job.
When do I get paid for my EDM machine?
At pickup. No net-30 invoicing and no waiting for an auction to close. Payment happens when the machine leaves your floor.
Will you buy an EDM that is idle or already decommissioned?
Yes. Running, idle or decommissioned, a single machine or a full facility. Say upfront if it has been sitting, since dielectric and filtration usually need attention after downtime.
Do you buy EDM brands that are not showing on this page?
Yes. Nine manufacturers are on this page today, and that is current stock rather than the limit of what we buy. Mitsubishi, Sodick, Agie Charmilles and GF Machining are not on the page, and we buy all four.
Thinking about selling CNC EDM Machines?
Generator and control generation are the first things a shop asks about on a used EDM, which is why they move a number faster than a paragraph on condition. With 141 distinct model numbers across 220 machines, and 108 of those the only listing of their model, a good half of what sits here is its own conversation. Send the model, the control and whether it has been sitting, and Jason Puuri will get a number back inside a day or two.
