Used Geminis Machines We Buy
Used Geminis machines are one focused corner of what Machine Tool Exchange buys, and we buy them outright from the companies that own them, no consignment and no broker. All 104 listings in this hub are Geminis: 59 filed under Metal Cutting, 40 under CNC Lathes, and 94 distinct model designations across the 104. Recorded build years run 1978 to 2023.

What the 104 Geminis Listings Actually Are
Every listing in this hub carries the Geminis name and nothing else. The catalog files them five ways: Metal Cutting 59, CNC Lathes 40, CNC Miscellaneous Machines 2, Other 2, and Other Machines 1. Read the biggest number carefully. Metal Cutting is the catalog's generic parent bucket rather than a machine type, so 59 does not mean 59 of one kind of machine. The specific machine-type signal here is CNC Lathes at 40, and the catalog's own wording for part of this book is heavy-duty lathes. Underneath those categories sit 94 distinct model designations across the 104 listings. Only 8 designations repeat at all, covering 18 listings, which leaves 86 listings carrying a model string that appears exactly once. Build years, where recorded, run from 1978 to 2023, but a year is recorded on 64 of the 104, so that span covers 64 of the machines here and not all of them.
GE Is the Largest Line in This Hub
GE is the largest family value in this hub at 23 listings, and the catalog splits it almost evenly, 12 under Metal Cutting and 11 under CNC Lathes. That even split is worth stating, because it means the GE line here is not one narrow machine type. The recorded strings are the ones a buyer or a seller would actually type: GE-1000 appears three times, GE-650 twice, and single entries run through GE-1400, GE-1400S, GE650S, GE1200S, GE 1200-25, GE 590-A, GE 1000 S, and GE870 ID. GE870 is counted on its own as a separate family value at 5 listings, never added to the GE figure, and it leans lathe with 4 of those 5 filed under CNC Lathes. The catalog also records GE870 and GE-870 as two different strings. A plate reading GE 870 and a plate reading GE-870 describe the same size class, and we scope both the same way.
GHT and GT Machines in This Hub
GHT is the second cluster here, and each family value is counted on its own: GHT at 10 listings, GHT4 at 7, GHT5 at 5, GHT9 at 3, with GT5 at 3 and GT9 at 3 alongside them. The filing is where the useful detail sits. Of the nine families the catalog maps to a category, GT9 is the only one that lands entirely in one of them, all 3 under CNC Lathes, while GHT splits 7 Metal Cutting to 3 CNC Lathes, GHT4 splits 4 to 3, GHT5 leans lathe at 3 to 2, and GHT9 and GT5 each go 2 to 1. Recorded strings include GHT-4 G4-800 twice, plus GHT 4 G2, GHT4-G4, GHT 4 620, GHT 4 - 720x2000, GHT5 G2 1000 x 3000, GT5 G2, and GT9 G2 2000 X 8000. Those two-number designations are the catalog's own record of capacity, and they are why a rigging plan gets built off the machine's actual footprint.
What Determines the Offer on a Used Geminis
There is no blanket Geminis number, and this hub's composition is why. With 94 distinct designations across 104 listings, and 86 of those strings appearing exactly once, there is barely a repeated machine to average against, so each one gets scoped by itself. Jason Puuri looks at the machine rather than running it through a formula. What moves the number: capacity as recorded on the data plate, which is why size-coded strings like GE 870x4000, GE650x1500, and GHT 4 - 720x2000 are the first thing we read; spindle and way condition; whether it still holds tolerance; tailstock and steady-rest configuration; chuck and bar capacity; the tooling that comes with it; and whether the control is still serviceable. Age is a factor and not a gate. Recorded build years here run 1978 to 2023, a 45-year span, so a machine from either end of it is still worth sending to us.
Geminis Machines That Are Not GE, GHT, or GT
Not every Geminis here wears a GE, GHT, or GT badge. The CNC family accounts for 8 listings, filed 5 Metal Cutting and 3 CNC Lathes, and turns up as strings like CNC7-1300-2G and CNC 5PLUS 1000/2000. Below that sit SCNC at 2, D604D at 2, GEMINIS at 2, and 1400 at 2, none of which carry a recorded category filing in our data, so we do not guess at one. Then come the genuinely odd entries: SCNC-680, H304, F40, E602, M-302, 204B 200B, 3000 X 650, and one recorded only as 336 heads / 288 heads. Five listings sit in the catch-all buckets, 2 under CNC Miscellaneous Machines, 2 under Other, and 1 under Other Machines, and no family the catalog maps to a category reaches them. For a seller that is the point: with 86 of 104 strings appearing once, an unlisted model number is the normal case here.
Selling a Geminis Outright Instead of Consigning It
Machine Tool Exchange buys the Geminis outright, as a division of Superior Machine and Tool. That is the whole difference from the other three routes. Consignment leaves your money contingent on someone else buying the machine later. An auction sets a date and lets the room decide. A builder trade-in only works alongside a new-machine purchase. We agree the number before the machine moves, with no listing fee, no broker commission, and no new-machine purchase attached. One lathe or a full row comes on the same terms, and a row still gets scoped machine by machine rather than lumped into one blanket figure. We handle rigging and freight so you are not coordinating a crew. A machine that is idle, mid-repair, or pulled out during a changeover still gets an offer, and proof the company owns it outright rather than carrying it on a lease or finance agreement speeds up closing.
Common questions
How do I sell a Geminis lathe?
Send the model designation off the data plate, capacity, approximate age and condition, and a couple of photos. We evaluate it as a division of Superior Machine and Tool and send a written offer back.
Do you buy Geminis GE series lathes?
Yes. GE is the largest family in this hub at 23 listings, filed almost evenly at 12 Metal Cutting and 11 CNC Lathes. GE870 is counted separately at 5 listings.
My Geminis model number is not on this page. Do you still buy it?
Yes, and that is the normal case here. Only 8 model designations repeat anywhere in this hub. The other 86 listings each carry a string that appears exactly once.
Is this a listing service, or do you buy the machine yourself?
We buy it. Machine Tool Exchange purchases the Geminis outright rather than listing, consigning, or brokering it. Your money is not contingent on someone else buying it later.
Should I put a Geminis through an auction instead?
An auction sets a date and lets whoever shows up decide. Selling outright sets the number before the machine moves. With 86 one-off designations here, we scope each Geminis on its own.
Will you buy a Geminis that is not currently running?
Yes. Idle, mid-repair, or pulled off the floor during a changeover still gets an offer. Tell us upfront rather than letting us find it, so the first number is accurate.
What paperwork do I need to sell a Geminis?
A bill of sale, proof the company owns the machine outright rather than carrying it on a lease or finance agreement, and any service records. We confirm ownership before scheduling pickup.
Thinking about selling Geminis Machines?
There is no blanket Geminis number, because 86 of these 104 listings carry a model string that appears exactly once. Send the size designation off the data plate and a few shots of the machine on the floor, and Jason Puuri will scope it himself rather than run it through a formula.
