CNC Lathes
CNC lathes use a computer program to guide a cutting tool as it rotates a workpiece, removing materials until the desired shape is achieved. They are used for metalworking, woodworking and other applications that require cylindrical machining. When buying a used CNC lathe, there are several factors to consider to ensure you're getting the right machine for your needs. Check the condition of the machine and whether it meets the specifications you need, including the size of the work area, number of axes and spindle speed.
Woodworking CNC lathes are available in a variety of sizes and configurations, from single-spindle to multi-taskers. Look for options that can handle multiple tools, including a tool changer, to maximize productivity. For more complex projects, choose a 4- or 5-axis CNC lathe to provide greater flexibility and precision. These machines can perform milling and turning in a single setup, reducing downtime and increasing efficiency.
CNC Machining Centers
CNC machining centers allow you to do several functions all at once, such as drilling, milling, expanding, reaming and tapping. This helps reduce non-productive time and allows your team to focus on other projects while the machine does all the work. They can create 3D shapes, contours and surfaces that would be difficult or impossible to achieve manually. They can also engrave patterns or logos onto workpieces. They can face the surface of a workpiece to make sure it is flat and perpendicular to other surfaces. They can even create pockets or recesses in workpieces to accommodate fasteners. Those that need to buy used cnc machines they will visit here.
We offer the best used CNC machining centers from brands like Haas, Doosan, Okuma, Mazak and more. We can even help you find the right model and size to fit your shop’s needs. Contact us to get started!
CNC Waterjet
Waterjet cutting machines use a high-pressure stream of water mixed with an abrasive to cut through materials. This industrial powerhouse eroding method is ideal for cutting a wide range of material thicknesses and types, including metals, stone, and composites. It can even slice through sturdier materials like glass and ceramics. Because waterjet cutting doesn’t involve heat, it reduces the risk of warping or thermal damage to the workpiece.
Fabricators who make film and TV props rely on WAZER to get the precision cuts they need to make their pieces. When used in conjunction with a CNC laser, a waterjet can eliminate the need for secondary finishing that would otherwise be necessary due to burn marks caused by laser cutters.
