Buying used metalworking machinery

Ask to see the machine cutting metal, and check what it holds in tolerance. On lathes and mills, look at the ways, the spindle run-out, backlash in the leadscrews and the condition of the chuck or table. On press brakes and guillotines, check the blade or tool condition, the back gauge, the hydraulics and the guarding or light curtains, which are a legal requirement for a machine that can crush.

For CNC machinery, ask which control it has and whether the software is supported, how many hours the spindle has run, and whether any crash damage has been repaired. Check the power supply, since most industrial machinery needs three-phase, and ask about the weight and how it will be moved: a heavy machine may need a crane and a specialist haulier.

What a good listing includes

  • Make, model and year, with capacities such as swing, distance between centres, tonnage or bending length.
  • Control type and spindle hours for CNC machines, and tooling included.
  • Power supply, weight and dimensions.
