Machine identity and configuration
The exact model suffix, travels, spindle, axes, table, chuck, bar capacity, control and automation package define the relevant comparable set.
Year and control generation
Age matters, but control support, parts availability, software compatibility and retrofit history often explain more than the calendar alone.
Hours and utilization
Spindle-on, cutting and power-on hours have different meanings. Hours should be interpreted with maintenance, application and operating evidence.
Mechanical and geometric condition
Spindle condition, backlash, ways, ball screws, turrets, tool changers, hydraulics, lubrication and accuracy evidence can move value materially.
Options, tooling and automation
Probing, rotary axes, bar feeders, pallet systems, chip conveyors, high-pressure coolant, transformers, tooling and workholding have value only when included, compatible and functional.
Documentation and service evidence
Manuals, option sheets, maintenance records, repair invoices, backup files and recent inspection results reduce uncertainty.
Demand, geography and removal
Buyer density, local industry, transport distance, access, rigging, foundation and utility requirements shape the amount a buyer can justify and a seller can retain.
