Buy used EDM machines
Where machining processes reach their limits—with hardened materials, sharp internal contours, or intricate geometries—electrical discharge machining (EDM) comes into play. At MHD Maschinenhandel, you'll find used wire EDM and die-sinking EDM machines for tool and mold making.
EDM machines are precision machines whose condition is determined less by their year of manufacture than by the condition of the generator, axis guides, and flushing system. We check precisely these points before including a machine in our catalog.
Here you will find our current selection of used machines in this category. EDM machines – Available immediately and directly from our stock. Use the filters to quickly find the right machine.

Wire EDM or die sinking EDM?
Wire EDM machines cut with a continuous wire, producing through-hole contours with excellent surface finish and dimensional accuracy—the classic application is in the manufacture of cutting and stamping tools. Die-sinking EDM machines work with a shaped electrode and create its negative image in the workpiece, enabling blind holes, cavities, and sharp internal corners, as required in injection mold making. Many companies operate both processes simultaneously.
Purchase criteria
- Travel distances and maximum workpiece dimensions as well as workpiece weight
- Generator technology and its condition — the most expensive single component
- Condition of the wire guides or electrode holder
- Filter and rinsing system, condition of the dielectric
- Controller generation and availability of software support
- Existing peripheral equipment: start hole drill, pallet system, automation
Why buying used is worthwhile
Electrical discharge machining (EDM) machines are expensive to purchase new, but they operate with minimal mechanical wear because no tool is engaged. A well-maintained machine therefore delivers the required accuracy even after many years. For toolmaking companies looking to enter the EDM market or expand their capacity, the used equipment market is often the only economically viable option.
In tool and mould making, EDM machines are usually combined with Milling machines and Grinding machines – you will find both in our stock as well.
