Used Hermle Machines We Buy
Used Hermle machines are a well-defined corner of what Machine Tool Exchange buys, and we purchase them outright from the companies that own them, no consignment and no broker. All 143 listings in this hub are Hermle. The catalog files 34 of them as vertical machining centers and 17 as 5-axis machining centers, with recorded build years running from 1985 to 2019.

What the 143 Hermle Listings Actually Are
Every one of the 143 listings in this hub carries the Hermle nameplate and nothing else. The catalog files them as 83 Metal Cutting, 34 CNC Vertical Machining Centers, 17 CNC 5-Axis Machining Centers, 6 CNC Milling Machines, 2 CNC Miscellaneous Machines, and 1 CNC Horizontal Machining Center. That split is complete and adds to 143 exactly. Metal Cutting is the catalog's generic parent bucket rather than a machine type, so those 83 rows are the listings never filed under a narrower heading, and no specific machine type is a majority here. Across the 143 listings sit 103 distinct model designations, 83 of which appear exactly once: twenty designations repeat, and the rest is a long tail found only by typing the exact characters off the plate. Build years run from 1985 to 2019 on the 98 listings that record a year. The other 45 carry none, so read no decade pattern into that span.
The C-Designation Machining Centers
The C designations account for eleven of the twelve model families the catalog counts here at two listings or more. In this hub the model families run C600U at 7 listings, C800U at 5, C60U at 4, C800 at 4, then C800V, C20U, C22U and C30 at 3 each, with C42U, C30U and C40U at 2 apiece. Spelling is the thing to know before you search. Our catalog holds one designation under several separate strings, so at least 11 listings carry a C800V designation across C800 V, C 800 V and C800V, at least 10 carry a C600U spelling, at least 8 a C800U spelling, at least 5 a C22U spelling and at least 4 a C30U spelling. Those are floors, not totals. The C machines are also spread across the catalog's own categories rather than sitting in one bucket: the seven C600U listings file as four Metal Cutting, two VMC and one 5-axis, while all four C800 listings file as VMC.
UWF, the Largest Model Family in the Hub
UWF is the largest single model family here at 34 of the 143 listings. The catalog files those 34 as 23 Metal Cutting, 6 CNC Vertical Machining Centers and 5 CNC Milling Machines, and that is the whole split. Read that filing closely, because it is what our catalog actually knows about them: we place a UWF by where the listing sits in the catalog, not by a specification we cannot confirm off the data plate. Spellings inside the family are fragmented, which is why the individual model counts look small next to the family number. The designations that repeat, written exactly as the catalog carries them, are UWF 902 H, UWF 900 E and UWF; the catalog also holds single listings under UWF 1200 RT, UWF 900 E - HTC 32, UWF1000, UWF 1202 H and UWF 1001 H. If you are selling one, the string on the plate is the fastest way for us to place it.
What Determines the Offer on a Used Hermle
Jason Puuri handles final valuations and the closing conversation with sellers himself, which is why the details you send matter more than any formula. Model and designation come first, then build year: a 1985 machine and a 2019 machine are two different conversations under one nameplate, and this hub spans exactly that range. After that, spindle hours, control generation, and the axis configuration, including whether a rotary or trunnion runs simultaneous or positional. MTE buys both and prices the difference rather than treating 3+2 as a lesser machine. Whether the machine still holds tolerance, what tooling and fixturing come with it, and any pallet or automation attached all move the offer. So does what removal looks like on your floor and what re-installation looks like at the other end, since foundation work and rigging access are part of the job. Photos of the control screen and the work envelope help. They are not required to start.
The 17 Filed as 5-Axis, and the Rest of the Book
Seventeen of the 143 listings are filed as CNC 5-Axis Machining Centers, and 17 is the number. The catalog's family splits tie five of the 17 to a named model family, two C60U, one C800U, one C600U and one C30, and record no family for the other 12. Outside the C and UWF groups the book gets specific. The catalog carries U 630 T on four listings, C 600 V on two, and single listings for C 1200 V, C 30 U Dynamic, C 40U DYNAMIC, C400, C30V, U630M, U, Z360K and FWH 630, plus one row whose model string is literally MILLING. We carry those as written rather than tidying them into a product line. The smaller buckets round it out: 6 CNC Milling Machines, 2 CNC Miscellaneous Machines and 1 CNC Horizontal Machining Center. What we buy is not capped by this page, so a Hermle matching none of these designations is still one we will quote.
Selling One Hermle or Clearing a Floor
Machine Tool Exchange buys direct. We are an affiliate of Superior Machine Tools in Lansing, Michigan, and we purchase outright: no consignment, no listing fee, no waiting on an auction date. Send the model string, the year if the plate carries one, hours if you track them, and the control; a quote comes back in 24 to 48 hours. We arrange rigging, crating and freight at no cost to you and pay at pickup, in all 50 states. A Hermle does not have to be running for us to make an offer: machines sitting idle, waiting on a repair decision, or coming out during a changeover all get quoted. One machine or a full cell goes on one quote and one pickup schedule. Proof the company owns the machine outright, rather than still paying it off under a lease, speeds closing. If the Hermle sits on a mixed floor, we also buy Makino, DMG MORI, Mazak, Okuma and Haas on the same visit.
Common questions
How do I sell a used Hermle machine?
Send the model string off the data plate, the build year if it carries one, and spindle hours if you track them. A quote comes back within 24 to 48 hours, and if you take it we handle rigging and freight and pay at pickup.
Do you buy used Hermle 5-axis machining centers?
Yes. Seventeen of the 143 Hermle listings in this hub are filed as CNC 5-Axis Machining Centers, and we buy both simultaneous and 3+2 positional machines. Tell us how the rotary or trunnion is set up and we scope it from there.
Which Hermle models do you see most?
UWF is the largest family in this hub at 34 of the 143 listings. After that come the C designations: C600U, C800U, C60U, C800, C800V, C20U, C22U and C30, with C42U, C30U and C40U repeating as well.
Who buys used Hermle machines?
We do, directly. Machine Tool Exchange is a buyer, not a listing service, an auction platform or a broker taking a cut. You get one quote, one contact through the whole process, and payment at pickup in all 50 states.
Will you buy a Hermle that is idle or not running?
Yes. Running and under power is the simplest case, but we also buy machines sitting idle after a job ended and machines needing spindle, rotary or control work. Tell us what is wrong up front so the offer fits the machine.
Do you buy a single Hermle or a whole shop of them?
Either. One UWF coming off the floor and twenty machines from a full plant clearance run the same way: one quote, one contact, one pickup schedule. Each machine is still scoped on its own model, year and condition.
When do I get paid, and do you buy on consignment?
You are paid at pickup. We purchase outright, so there is no consignment, no listing period and no auction date to wait on. The machine is ours once we load it, and you are not waiting on a downstream buyer.
Thinking about selling Hermle Machines?
This is a 143-listing Hermle book: 34 UWF filed as 23 Metal Cutting, 6 VMC and 5 CNC Milling Machines, 17 listings filed as 5-axis, and at least 11 carrying a C800V spelling across three strings, with recorded years from 1985 to 2019. Send the string off your plate and Jason Puuri will scope it himself.
