Question 1

How much does a used CNC lathe cost?

Accepted Answer

Used CNC lathes range from £3,000 for basic training machines to £80,000+ for large production CNC turning centres. A mid-size 2-axis CNC lathe from Mazak, DMG Mori, or Haas in good condition typically costs £12,000–£35,000.

Question 2

What machine tools hold their value best?

Mazak, DMG Mori, and Fanuc-controlled machines consistently achieve strong resale values. Japanese-made machines (Mazak, Okuma, Mori Seiki) hold value better than equivalent European machines due to perceived reliability.

How do I verify a used CNC machine before buying?

Accepted Answer

Request a cutting test, inspect the spindle for runout (max 0.003mm acceptable), check the way surfaces for wear, verify the control software version and support status, and review the maintenance history for spindle rebuilds.
