Vertical machining centers hold value best when they come from a strong, well-supported brand, carry a modern control, have low-to-moderate spindle hours, and include desirable options — a high-speed spindle, 4th or 5th axis, through-spindle coolant and probing all help. Bigger, rarer travels can help or hurt depending on demand.
The same VF-class or DNM-class machine can vary by tens of thousands depending on these factors. Check yours free at The Machine Blue Book.
