Used Emag Machines We Buy
Used Emag machines come to Machine Tool Exchange straight from the shops that own them, no broker and no auction floor. The listings under this nameplate run to the VL, VSC, VLC and VTC vertical turning families, plus grinding, gear and automation equipment, with build years on record from 1976 through 2025.

What Is Actually in the Emag Listings We Hold
This group holds 919 listings, counted across the whole hub, not sampled. They spread across 60 category labels, and 30 of those labels hold exactly one listing. The largest single label is Metal Cutting at 402, a broad parent-level bucket rather than a machine type, worth naming once and then moving on. The second largest label is CNC Injection Molding Machines at 109, cataloged alongside these machines and taken up further down. The machine tool shape is the useful part: CNC Lathes 91, CNC Miscellaneous Machines 40, CNC Gear Machinery 31, CNC Vertical Machining Centers 24, CNC Grinding Machines 23 and CNC Vertical Turret Lathes 19. What matters most to a seller is the model spread. Those 919 listings carry 812 distinct model strings, and the most repeated string in the group appears 7 times, so almost every machine is a one-off entry. Build years are recorded on 492 of them and run from 1976 to 2025. A nameplate alone does not describe a machine here, which is why each one gets scoped individually.
VL, VSC, VLC and VTC: The Vertical Pick-Up Families
These are the families most people mean when they search for a used Emag. In our listings VSC totals 49 (VSC 37, VSC315 4, VSC400 4, VSC160 2, VSC130 2), VL totals 47 (VL 35, VL3 8, VL5I 4), VLC totals 18 (VLC 14, VLC450 2, VLC200 2) and VTC totals 13. The strings a searcher actually types are in the same set: VSC 250 DS, VSC 400, VSC 250, VSC 315, VTC 250, VL 7, VL 6, VL 5, VL 4, VL3, VLC450 and VLC200. The DUO variants earn a mention, because a twin-spindle VTC 250 DUO or VL-3-DUO is a different machine to move than a single-spindle unit. In dealer shorthand, VL is the pick-up turning line, VSC covers vertical shaft chucking, VLC stands as its own line rather than a VL variant, and VTC is vertical turning and contouring. Turning and lathe categories together come to 128 of 919.
What Determines the Offer on a Used Emag
Control type is the first fork. We buy Emag machines running Fanuc and machines running Siemens Sinumerik, and which one sits on the machine changes who wants it next. After that comes model and year, spindle hours, condition, and what leaves the floor with it. That last item is no formality on a pick-up lathe. The spindle does the loading, so the conveyor, the part handling, the gantry loader and the automation around the cell are part of the machine rather than accessories bolted on. A machine quoted with its loading system and one quoted without it are two different offers. Year matters for the same practical reason: build years here run from 1976 to 2025, and a mid-1980s machine is not the same conversation about parts and service as a 2020 one. Jason Puuri scopes each machine himself, from the control, the hours and the configuration in front of him.
Grinding, Gear and the Automation Around the Cell
A turning cell rarely leaves the floor by itself, and this group reflects that. Beyond the vertical lathes we hold CNC Gear Machinery at 31, CNC Vertical Machining Centers at 24, CNC Grinding Machines at 23, CNC Automation and Pallet Systems at 15 and CNC Gantry and Portal Mills at 14. Add the boring mills, the milling machines and the five-axis and horizontal centers, and the milling side comes to 51 listings. The model tokens line up with that. On the grinding and gear side you find VG and VG110, the G160, G250, G375, G400, G500 and GS400 designations, the HG204, HG208, HG208CD and HG306 hobbing entries, and K160 and K300. Koepfer-designated machines turn up under this nameplate too; we buy the gear machinery and leave it at that. On automation, ROBOT leads 22 listings, ROBBY 7 and R500 4. We also buy vertical grinding, ELC welding and ECM electrochemical equipment.
The Long Tail Under This Nameplate
Sixty category labels is a wide spread for one nameplate, and 30 of them hold a single listing. Plenty of what sits here is not turning equipment at all. Injection molding presses cataloged alongside these machines total 142 across two labels, which is 15.5 percent of the group and more than the 128 turning and lathe listings. Crane, hoist and material-handling listings come to 32, spread across 12 separate labels. There are extruders, filling machines, rolling mills, transformers, a slitting line and a food processing machine in here too, plus 40 entries under CNC Miscellaneous Machines. That is what a working plant floor looks like, cataloged honestly. It is also the practical reason to call us on a clearance rather than a single sale. When a cell comes out, the press beside it, the crane that served it and the support gear in the same bay usually have to go too.
Selling One Machine or a Whole Production Line
MTE is a direct buyer. Not a broker, an auction platform or a listing service, so there is no listing fee and no waiting on a third-party buyer. Superior Machine and Tool has bought and sold used CNC equipment since 2012, and MTE is its affiliate. Rigging, crating and freight are on us, in all 50 states, and payment happens at pickup, not on net-30. Condition is not a gate: running production, parked since a job ended, or needing work. Neither is scale. A single VL pick-up lathe and a multi-machine production line are quoted on the same terms, and a line does not collapse into one blanket number. Proof the company owns the machine outright rather than still paying off a lease speeds up closing. On a mixed floor we also buy Mazak, Okuma, DMG Mori, Doosan, Haas and Makino equipment, all on one quote and one pickup date.
Common questions
Who buys used Emag machines?
Machine Tool Exchange buys them directly, nationwide: vertical lathes, turning centers, grinding and gear equipment. We are a direct buyer, not a listing service, so nothing waits on a third party.
What is special about Emag's inverted spindle design?
The main spindle is inverted and does the loading itself. It picks the workpiece off a conveyor, machines it, and sets it back down, with no separate loading robot.
How do I sell a used Emag machine?
Send the model, year, condition, spindle hours, control type, and any tooling and automation included. We come back with an offer, then handle rigging, crating and freight and pay at pickup.
Do you buy Emag machines with Fanuc or Siemens controls?
Both. We buy Emag machines running Fanuc and machines running Siemens Sinumerik. Tell us which one is on the machine up front, because it shapes how fast we can scope it.
Do you buy Emag grinding and gear machines, or only the vertical lathes?
Both, and we buy across the whole product line. The listings in this group include 31 gear machinery entries and 23 grinding machines alongside the vertical turning families.
Will you buy a single machine or a whole Emag production line?
Either. A single VL vertical pick-up lathe is quoted the same way a multi-machine line is. On a line, each machine is still scoped on its own control, hours and configuration.
Will you buy an Emag that is sitting idle or needs work?
Yes. Machines running production, machines parked since a job ended, and machines waiting on a repair decision all get evaluated. Say what is not working when you write.
Thinking about selling Emag Machines?
On an Emag the loading system is the machine, not an accessory, so what you include changes the offer more than the nameplate. Have the control ready first, Fanuc or Siemens Sinumerik, then spindle hours and whether the conveyor and gantry loader go with it. With 812 distinct model strings behind these 919 listings, Jason Puuri scopes yours on its own configuration. Call (517) 220-4400.
