Used Hankook Machines We Buy

Used Hankook machines reach Machine Tool Exchange as big-diameter turning iron, and we buy them straight from the companies that own them, with no broker and no auction house in between. All 136 listings in this hub are Hankook. VTC and VTB vertical turret lathes account for 46 of them, PROTEC and DYNATURN lathes for another 40. Here is what actually moves an offer.

What Is Actually in the 136 Hankook Listings

Every one of the 136 rows in this hub is Hankook, and the catalog files them eight ways. CNC Lathes hold 25 rows and CNC Vertical Turret Lathes (VTL) hold 18. CNC Boring Mills hold 7, CNC Vertical Boring Mills 6, CNC Vertical Machining Centers (VMC) 2, and there is one row each under CNC Vertical Turning Centers and CNC Turning Centers. The remaining 76 sit in the catalog's general Metal Cutting bucket rather than a typed category, which leaves 60 rows carrying a specific machine type. Read those 60 by what the machine does and vertical turning takes 25, horizontal turning 26, boring on its own 7 and milling just 2. Across all 136 listings there are 113 distinct model designations, and the largest count on any single designation is six. The listings that record a build year run from 1989 to 2025, and 117 of the 136 record one at all.

VTC and VTB: The Vertical Turret Lathe Side

VTC is the largest single model family in this hub. 30 listings roll up under VTC and 16 under VTB, with 4 more under VLC and a further 2 spelled VTC160E without a space, which the catalog keys as its own family rather than folding into the 30. Counted across all four spellings, the vertical side reaches 52 of 136. The designations are the ones an owner reads straight off the data plate: VTC-3040E, VTC 30/40E, VTC 160E, VTC-125E, VTC125F-APC, VTC 200E, VTC-85R-MC, VTC140E, VTC 16/20R, VTC12T, VTB 30/40E, VTB-125, VTB 25/30E, VTB-3040E and VLC 30/70. One detail here is worth stating outright, because you can check it against the grid: all 6 rows filed as CNC Vertical Boring Mills are VTC or VTB machines, 4 of them VTC and 2 VTB, matching that category total exactly. Of the 18 rows in the VTL category, VTC accounts for 9 and VTB for 6.

PROTEC, DYNATURN and HANTURN on the Horizontal Side

Three named lines carry the horizontal turning. 26 listings are PROTEC, 14 are filed under the DYNATURN spelling and 5 are HANTURN, which is 45 of the 136 before spelling variants are counted. Two of those variants sit in the raw model strings: PRO TEC13NX4000 and PRO TURN 100 carry a space that PROTEC and PROTURN do not, so the catalog rolls them up apart even though they name the same lines. Designations in this half of the book include PROTEC 9NC, PROTEC-9NC/4000, PROTEC-7NB, Protec 9NC 4000 Flat Bed, 7NB-3000, DYNATURN 18, DYNATURN 13R/12000, HANTURN 95CM X 8000 and HANTURN-75X6000. PROTEC 9NC at six listings is the largest single model count in the entire hub, which in a book of 113 distinct designations says more about how flat the spread is than about anything else. Of the 25 rows in the CNC Lathes category, PROTEC contributes 11, DYNATURN 3 and HANTURN 1.

What Moves the Offer on a Used Hankook

Hankook designations carry the capacity inside the name, which is why the data plate settles most of the conversation. HANTURN 95CM X 8000, KM 13 X 4000, PROTEC-9NC/4000, VLC 30/70, VTC 30/40E, VTB 25/30E, VTB-125, VTC-125E and 59X314 all encode size or length in the string itself, so the model number tells us a great deal before anyone measures a table. With 113 distinct designations across 136 listings, near enough every machine gets scoped on its own name rather than against a family average. The year spread pushes the same way: the listings that record a year run from 1989 to 2025, a 36-year span, so two machines wearing the same family name are two different conversations. Jason Puuri builds the number himself, off the data plate, the photos and the control the machine actually carries, rather than running a formula. Tell us what control is on it; we do not assume one.

Selling a Hankook Outright, and What to Have Ready

MTE buys these machines outright. We are the buyer, not a broker and not a listing service, so there is no consignment, no listing fee and no waiting on a third party to find someone else. Send the brand, model, year, condition and control type, plus a tooling list if you have one, and an offer typically comes back within 24 to 48 hours, market-based and with no obligation attached. Photos help and are not required. When you accept, pickup is free in all 50 states: we arrange the rigging, the crating and the freight, and payment happens at pickup rather than on net 30. Any brand, any condition, any quantity, running or idle or already decommissioned, one machine or a whole floor. The quote form is at /sell-your-cnc-machine/ and the number is 800-822-9524. Iron this size needs a rigging plan, so tell us how the machine sits on your floor.

The Long Tail, and the Rest of the Floor

Model families of two or more account for 111 of the 136 listings, which leaves 25 sitting outside every named family. That is where strings like HB 150, 59X314, VTC140E, VTC12T and 7NB-3000 live, and a one-off designation is no harder for us to quote than a VTC. The smaller named groups are NT at 3 listings and KM at 2, which is where NT 12/16, KM-III and KM 13 X 4000 sit. On the boring side, 7 rows are CNC Boring Mills and 6 are CNC Vertical Boring Mills, and only one of those 7 is accounted for by a named family, an NT. Milling in this hub is two listings, both CNC Vertical Machining Centers, and two rows is two rows. Hankook ranks 38th of the 126 brands in our catalog by listing count. If your floor is mixed, we buy Mazak, Okuma, Doosan and Toshiba alongside your Hankook, on one quote and one pickup.

Common questions

Who buys used Hankook machines?

Machine Tool Exchange does, outright and nationwide. We are the buyer, not a broker or a listing service, so you sell to us directly. No consignment and no listing fee.

Do you buy Hankook VTC and VTB vertical turret lathes?

Yes. VTC is the largest single model family in this hub. 30 listings carry a VTC designation and 16 a VTB, including VTC-3040E, VTC 160E, VTC-125E, VTB 30/40E and VTB-125.

Do you buy Hankook PROTEC lathes?

Yes. 26 listings here are PROTEC, the largest horizontal family in the hub, including PROTEC 9NC, PROTEC-9NC/4000 and PROTEC-7NB. Eleven sit in the CNC Lathes category.

How much is a used Hankook VTL worth?

It depends on the designation, the year, the capacity encoded in that designation, the condition, the tooling and the control. Send the specifics and Jason Puuri builds the figure off the data plate.

Do you buy Hankook vertical boring mills?

Yes. Six listings here are filed as CNC Vertical Boring Mills, and every one of them is a VTC or a VTB. Another 7 sit in the CNC Boring Mills category.

Will you buy a Hankook that is not currently running?

Yes. Running, idle and decommissioned machines all get evaluated. Say so upfront so the scope is accurate rather than assumed; it does not cost you the offer.

Who pays for rigging and freight on a machine this size?

We do. MTE arranges and pays for rigging, crating and freight in all 50 states, with payment at pickup rather than net 30.

Thinking about selling Hankook Machines?

A Hankook VTC or VTB is big-diameter iron with a rigging plan attached, and the size and length stamped into the model designation are usually enough for Jason Puuri to build a number without a site visit. Send the data plate, a photo of the control screen, and two shots showing how the machine sits on the floor. We handle rigging and freight from there.
