Used Giana Machines We Buy
Used Giana machines come to Machine Tool Exchange straight from the companies that own them, and the book here runs 21 listings from the Italian builder of heavy bed lathes and large turning machines. GFP is the family we see most at 6 of the 21, and GGH is second at 4. Here is what is actually on the floor, and what moves an offer.

What Is in the Giana Book Right Now
Giana is the only brand in this hub. All 21 listings carry the Giana nameplate, no second builder mixed in, so this is a single-brand book rather than a category page with some Giana in it. The catalog files them two ways: 8 of the 21 carry the specific CNC Lathes type, and the other 13 sit under the broader Metal Cutting classification with no narrower type assigned. There are 20 distinct model designations across those 21 listings, so 19 of the 20 appear exactly once and GFP 10 is the only designation that repeats. That is a book of one-off machines, not a rack of interchangeable units. Thirteen of the 21 carry a build year and those run 1989 to 2008; the other 8 carry no year at all. For scale, Giana ranks 57th of the 126 brands we track across the site, so this is a specialty corner of the inventory rather than a deep one.
Giana Model Families We See Most
GFP is the largest family here at 6 of the 21 listings, splitting evenly across the two catalog buckets, 3 filed as CNC Lathes and 3 under Metal Cutting. GGH is second at 4, weighted the other way, 3 under Metal Cutting and 1 typed as a CNC Lathe. GFS and TG follow at 2 each. Those four families cover 14 of the 21 listings. The remaining 7 sit in designations that appear exactly once: GFSC 12 CNC, GGTRONIC 3000 TRIPLE X 1350 x 12000, 400X1500, RR510DMC Ratio, GF 12 CNC, CFP 12 and GGL-900. Read that tail the right way. On a Giana hub an unfamiliar designation is the normal case rather than the exception, so a model number that appears nowhere on this page is not a problem. Send the string exactly as it reads off the data plate and we will scope it the same way we scope a GFP.
Swing and Length Are Written Into the Model Number
On a Giana the capacity figures usually sit inside the designation itself, which is unusual and useful. Look at the strings in this book: GGH 1100/760 X 12000, GGTRONIC 3000 TRIPLE X 1350 x 12000, TG 410/5000, GFP-24, 400X1500 and GGL-900. Where the string carries a pair of figures, those are swing and distance between centres in metric, so a trailing 12000 reads as 12,000 mm of turning length, roughly 39 feet. These are long, heavy, floor-eating machines, not something that tucks into a cell. One caution: that figure is catalog text, not a verified spec on any unit, so confirm it against the machine. This hub shows why. Three of the four GGH listings carry the same 1100/760 x 12000 configuration spelled three different ways: GGH 1100/760 x 12.000 CNC, GGH 1100/760 X 12000, and GGH 1100/760 X 12. Same size, three strings, which is why Jason Puuri asks for a data plate photo instead of typed model text.
What Moves the Number on a Used Giana
Swing and distance between centres are the first two figures, and on a Giana they are usually already on the plate. After that the offer turns on condition items you can check yourself. Bed and way wear matter more on a machine carrying a 12,000 mm length figure than on a short lathe: a long bed has more surface to go out of true. Then spindle and headstock condition, steady rests, tailstock, chucks, the tooling, and the control make and generation. Last, whether it still holds tolerance in production. Age matters in one specific way. The dated listings in this book run 1989 to 2008, so on the older end the question is whether parts and service for that control are still available, which decides how fast a shop can put it back to work. Jason Puuri weighs these himself rather than running a formula, and a quote usually comes back inside 24 to 48 hours.
The Rest of the Giana Lineup We Buy
What we buy runs wider than what sits on the floor. Giuseppe Giana builds well beyond bed lathes, and we buy the rest of that range: deep hole boring machines from the GGB line, honing machines, ball valve turning and grinding machines, and vertical lathes. None of those are in this hub, so nothing here is one of them. If you own one it is still equipment we buy, and /sell-your-deep-hole-drill/ is the faster route for a boring machine. On the turning side we buy GGL two-bedway and GGH four-bedway lathes beyond the sizes listed above, plus GGTRONIC turning and milling centres. Condition is not a filter either. Running production, sitting idle since the job ended, stopped mid-repair, or coming out during a plant changeover all get an offer. Worth saying on a Giana page: Tacchi is part of the Giana group, so a floor carrying both gets handled together on a single quote.
Selling a Giana Direct Instead of Listing It
Have the data plate model and serial ready, the build year, swing and distance between centres, the control make and generation, the tooling and steady rests, and whether it is still under power. Photos are not required but they speed things up: the data plate, the control screen, and one wide shot of how the machine sits on the floor. That last one counts for more here than on a vertical mill, because designations in this book run to 12000 and the rigging plan gets built off the real footprint, not a catalog spec. Then the terms. Machine Tool Exchange purchases outright, not on consignment and not as a broker or listing service, so your money is never contingent on us finding a later buyer. Rigging, crating and freight cost you nothing, in all 50 states, and payment happens at pickup, not net 30. A mixed floor goes on one quote and one pickup schedule, each machine still scoped on its own model, control and condition.
Common questions
Who buys used Giana machines?
Machine Tool Exchange buys them directly. We are an affiliate of Superior Machine and Tool, buying used CNC equipment since 2012, and we purchase outright rather than brokering your machine.
How much is a used Giana lathe worth?
It depends on family, build year, swing, distance between centres, condition, tooling and control. We do not publish figures. Send the data plate details and we will quote that machine.
Do you buy Giana GGB deep hole boring machines?
Yes. No GGB machines are in this hub, but we buy the GGB line plus Giana honing, ball valve and vertical lathe equipment. Start at /sell-your-deep-hole-drill/.
My Giana model number is not shown on this page. Do you still buy it?
Yes, and that is the normal case here. 19 of the 20 designations in this hub appear exactly once, so an unfamiliar Giana model number tells us nothing bad.
Will you buy a Giana that is not currently running?
Yes. Idle since the job ended, stopped mid-repair, or pulled during a changeover all get an offer. Say so upfront so the first number is accurate.
Do you buy Giana machines built in the 1990s?
Yes. The dated listings in this book run 1989 to 2008. What matters on the older end is whether the machine holds tolerance and whether control parts remain available.
Who pays for rigging and freight on a machine this long?
We do. Rigging, crating and freight cost you nothing in all 50 states, and payment happens at pickup. On a long-bed Giana we plan off the real footprint.
Can I sell other brands along with my Giana?
Yes. Tacchi is part of the Giana group and often sits on the same floor. One quote, one pickup schedule, each machine scoped on its own.
Thinking about selling Giana Machines?
On a Giana, swing and distance between centres usually sit in the designation already, so a data plate photo gets us most of the way. GFP bed lathes come through most, 6 of the 21 here, and nearly every unit is a one-off, so Jason Puuri scopes each on its own within 24 to 48 hours. Rigging on the long metric beds is on us.
