We also offer direct support from our sales team whom like you are experienced machinists toolmakers and engineers that can help you select the right machine for your part production and budget. However regardless if you should choose us or another dealer to work with you should keep the following factors in mind when selecting that used CNC Machine.
Keep an Open Mind
Some companies will form a committee of shop personnel management maintenance and ownership to select the right used CNC machinery for their needs. In smaller shops the owner likely will be making that decision and will head right for the make and model they think works best for their needs. In either case it's imperative to keep an open mind and don’t be brand stuck i.e. Mazak or Haas ONLY or machine type ‘stuck’ as a used horizontal machining center may provide much more value then the money then just adding another used vertical machining center. Either way by having a variety of machinery in your shop you have a variety of capabilities and more likely the right tool for the next job.
Keep Your Budget Flexible
Although you may want to stick to a strict budget you may want to consider machinery that adds more value to your operation. If a used CNC Mill has a 4th axis included but is slightly more it may be well worth the extra investment to broaden your capabilities and profit potential. Likewise if a used CNC lathe has a barloader or parts catcher included and its slightly over your considered budget you should strongly consider the value in the long run this feature can add to your bottom line.
Consider Financing
When purchasing any used machinery including a used CNC lathe or mill consider financing it. There are several important factors as to why you should finance but most importantly keep your cash available for material shop improvements air compressors electrical improvements etc. Also with financing rates so low you are very likely to make more off investing your cash in other areas of your business then in the minimal savings associated with a cash purchase. Also financing used CNC machinery is easy and quick and can usually be done with a one page simple application like the one found right HERE on our own finance page.
Inspect Your Investment Thoroughly
Whether you inspect your used CNC machinery yourself or you hire a factory or independent technician to do it for you have your investment inspected by a qualified person and include any and all maintenance records if available. A good deal of used CNC machinery is brokered from a sellers floor and your machine tool dealer has no way of providing any confirmation of condition or warranty to support it or even capable of offering a return privilege to allow you to get a refund. Also be wary of dealers that offer refurbished and reconditioned machinery as many times that is nothing more than a paint job and maybe powering the machine up. They have no way to test the equipment under the operating conditions you will incur and although they may have a ‘list’ of the items checked and work performed they still have not put it under power and in operation as will you.
"Refurbished" Doesn’t Mean "Rebuilt"
Often times when the words “refurbished” or “reconditioned” are used when marketing used CNC machinery it is just a way to get a higher price. Never confuse these with a truly "remanufactured" machine which some resellers provide. Some used CNC machinery dealers will tell you they have performed a 100% checkout on the machine even providing you with a detailed checklist or report. However without putting it into production and making parts it is impossible to have covered every possible scenario that your own personal and quality inspection will reveal. Also remember any warranties of performance are only as good as the dealer offering them so do not rely on a used CNC machinery dealer to provide you a problem free machine or be able to support it thoroughly after your purchase. It is YOUR investment and thus your responsibility to perform your due diligence ensuring the machine is ready for your operation and little to no work is needed in order o it to prepare it for your needs.
