Used Poreba Lathes and Machines We Buy
Machine Tool Exchange buys used Poreba lathes and machines outright, nationwide, direct from the companies that own them. This hub holds 804 Poreba listings, and 712 of them are CNC lathes, led by TR, TPK, TCG and TRP. The other 92 include boring mills, deep hole drills, gantry mills and vertical turret lathes.

What Is in the Poreba Book Right Now
This is a single brand hub. Every one of the 804 listings is a Poreba, and that count is exact, not sampled. Turning dominates it: 712 of the 804 are filed as CNC Lathes, which is 88.6 percent, leaving 92 machines that are something else. The more useful number for an owner is 783 distinct models across those 804 listings. Repeats are almost nonexistent, so nearly every unit here got scoped on its own configuration rather than matched against a comparable sitting next to it. Site wide, Poreba is 13th of the 126 brands we track, which puts it outside the top ten and makes it deep for what it is rather than a headline brand. Of the listings that carry a build year, the span runs 1970 to 2026, but only 214 of the 804 rows carry a year at all, so on any specific machine the data plate is what settles it.
The TR Line, 140 of 804 Listings
TR is the largest model family in this book at 140 listings, and it is not purely a turning family. Those 140 split 134 CNC Lathes, 5 CNC Vertical Turret Lathes and 1 CNC Miscellaneous machine, which means every VTL in the hub comes out of TR. The separate TR-prefixed roll-ups sit alongside it rather than inside it: TRP at 54, all 54 filed as lathes, then TR2 at 14, TRB at 14, TRD at 13, TR135 at 12, TR1 at 8 (all lathes), TR135B2 at 8, TR2S at 8, TRP110 at 7 and TRP93 at 6. These are the groupings we see most in our own catalog, not a manufacturer product line taxonomy, and they are not one running total. Repeat units are rare enough here to name individually: the bare TR string shows up four times and TRP three, then TR 100 B ID, TRP110/4M, TRP110/4M ID, TRD-40/6/3M ID, TR-135 and TR-40/12 twice each, and beyond that handful the TR units are effectively one of a kind.
TPK, TCG and the Rest of the Turning Families
Past the TR prefixes, the turning book runs TPK at 78, TCG at 70, TCF at 23, PNA at 19, TH2 at 16, TZG at 11 and TCA at 10, then a tail of TCC 7, TC2B 6, CN 6, TPK80A 6, TCE 5, THG 5 and TPL 5. What is worth noticing is that a prefix does not tell you what the machine actually is. TPK splits 76 lathes, 1 CNC Horizontal Boring Mill and 1 miscellaneous. TCG splits 67 lathes and 3 miscellaneous. PNA splits 17 lathes, 1 horizontal boring mill and 1 vertical machining center. TCF and TH2 are the clean ones, 23 and 16, all lathes. That is exactly why we scope on the serial number and the data plate instead of the model prefix. Repeat strings on this side include TPK at five listings, TCG-160, TCG 160 X 11M ID, TPK-90A1/3M and THG-660/2200 ID. Beyond those, repeats are scarce: 783 distinct models cover the 804 listings.
The 92 Poreba Listings That Are Not Lathes
Subtract the 712 lathes and 92 machines are left, and this is where an owner with a boring mill or a gantry lives. The complete split is 31 CNC Horizontal Boring Mills, 16 CNC Deep Hole Drilling Machines, 15 CNC Gantry and Portal Mills, 13 CNC Miscellaneous Machines, 5 CNC Vertical Turret Lathes, 3 CNC Vertical Boring Mills, 2 CNC Boring Mills, 2 CNC Vertical Machining Centers, 2 CNC Gear Machinery, and one each of CNC Band Saws, CNC Rotary Tables and CNC Vertical Lathes. The three boring rows are separate: 36 carry a boring label, but only 31 are horizontal. Families map onto this in places. HBM is 15 listings, all 15 horizontal boring mills, and HBM4 adds 4 more. WFA is 4, split 2 plain boring mills and 2 horizontal. FBA is 7, six of them gantry and portal mills. FBS is 3, and WR2 is 4 deep hole drilling machines.
Capacity Lives in the Model Number, So Have This Ready
783 distinct models across 804 listings means the designation alone almost never matches a prior sale, so swing, distance between centers and bed length do the work. On Poreba those figures usually sit inside the designation itself. TR1-72/8000, TH2-125/9000, TCG 160 X 11M ID, TPK 800x2000 and TRP110/4M all read as capacity once you know the format. Have this ready when you call: data plate model and serial, build year (worth pulling, since only 214 of our 804 catalog rows carry one), swing and distance between centers, control make and generation, steady rests and tooling, and whether it is still under power. Photos are optional but they speed things up: the control screen, the data plate, and one wide shot of the floor placement. That last shot matters more here than on a typical VMC, because the rigging plan gets built off the real footprint. Jason Puuri weighs these himself instead of running a formula, and a quote is usually back in 24 to 48 hours.
Selling a Poreba Outright Instead of Listing It
Machine Tool Exchange buys. We are not a broker, an auction platform or a listing service, so you are selling to us, not waiting on us to find a third party. No listing fees, no broker fees, nothing taken out at the end. We are an affiliate of Superior Machine and Tool, buying and selling used CNC equipment since 2012. Condition is not a gate: running production, sitting idle or needing work all get evaluated, and saying which upfront keeps the scope accurate. One machine or a whole floor works the same way, but each unit gets scoped on its own model, control and condition, because 783 distinct models across 804 listings leave nothing to average against. If the floor is mixed, other brands ride on the same quote and pickup schedule. Mazak, Okuma, Doosan, DMG MORI, Toshiba, Makino, Haas, Fanuc and Amada are all brands we buy and hold elsewhere on the site. Rigging, crating and freight are on us, nationwide, and we pay at pickup rather than net 30.
Common questions
Who buys used Poreba lathes?
Machine Tool Exchange does, as a direct buyer of used Poreba turning equipment nationwide, not a broker or listing service. You sell to us; we handle purchase, logistics and resale.
How do I sell my used Poreba machine?
Send the model, serial, swing, distance between centers, control and condition. A quote is typically back in 24 to 48 hours. Call 800-822-9524 or use the form at /sell-your-cnc-machine/.
How much is a used Poreba lathe worth?
It depends on the model, year, swing, distance between centers, condition, tooling and control generation. We do not publish figures. Send the specifics and we quote that individual machine.
Do you buy Poreba boring mills, or only lathes?
Both. 31 of the 804 Poreba listings in this book are CNC horizontal boring mills, including the HBM and HBM4 families, plus WFA units filed as boring mills.
Do you buy Poreba deep hole drilling machines?
Yes. 16 listings in this book are CNC deep hole drilling machines, including the WR2 family. Specialized equipment with a niche buyer pool, and we know that market.
Will you buy a Poreba that is not currently running?
Yes. Running, idle or needing work all get evaluated. Tell us upfront which one it is so the scope of the offer is accurate rather than assumed.
Who pays for rigging and freight on a machine this size?
We do. Rigging, crating and freight cost you nothing, nationwide, and payment happens at pickup rather than on net 30 terms after the truck leaves.
Thinking about selling Poreba Lathes and Machines?
No two Poreba quotes get built off the same comparable: 783 distinct models across 804 listings. Photograph the data plate first, since TR1-72/8000 and TH2-125/9000 already carry the swing and the length. TR at 140 listings is what comes through most. Jason Puuri has a number back in 24 to 48 hours, and we cover the rigging. Call 800-822-9524 or use /sell-your-cnc-machine/.
