Used Tornos Machines We Buy
Used Tornos machines come through Machine Tool Exchange as a Swiss-type turning book, and we buy them outright from the companies that own them. This hub holds 199 Tornos listings: 55 carry a DECO designation, 14 an ENC, 12 a SAS and 11 a MULTISWISS. Here is what actually moves an offer on one.

What Is in the Tornos Book Right Now
Every one of the 199 listings on this page is a Tornos. One brand, no filler from adjacent Swiss builders. Across those units there are 151 distinct models, so repeats are rare and nearly every machine gets scoped on its own rather than as a copy of the last one. The category split: 113 of the 199 sit under the broad Metal Cutting parent, 43 under CNC Lathes and 39 specifically under CNC Swiss-Type Lathes. One each lands under Lathes, CNC Miscellaneous Machines, CNC Vertical Machining Centers and Bar Feeders. Metal Cutting is a wide parent heading rather than a machine type, so a unit filed there may still be a lathe. Build years: 117 of the 199 listings carry one, and among those the oldest is 1971 and the newest 2023. The other 82 reached us with no year at all, the most common gap we ask a seller to close.
The DECO Family, and What Sits Next to It
DECO is the largest model family in this hub by a wide margin, at 55 of the 199 listings, better than a quarter of the book. Most of that family splits three ways: 33 filed under Metal Cutting, 13 under CNC Swiss-Type Lathes and 8 under CNC Lathes, with one more filed outside those three. The units that repeat are what shops call us about. DECO 2000/10 and DECO 2000/13 each appear three times, as does DECO 10a. DECO 2000/20, Deco 2000/26, DECO 10, DECO 26 and DECO 2000 each appear twice. Seven listings carry only the DECO name with no size designation, which is why we ask for the data plate, not the family name. We do not roll every machine with DECO in the name into one number. MULTIDECO at 8 listings, EVODECO at 3 and SWISSDECO at 2 are separate machines with separate roll-ups, each scoped on its own.
The Rest of the Tornos Families
Past DECO the book runs wide. ENC is next at 14, filed 6 Metal Cutting, 5 CNC Lathes and 3 CNC Swiss-Type Lathes, with ENC 163 and ENC 74 each at two. SAS follows at 12, split 7 Metal Cutting and 5 CNC Lathes, with SAS 16 DC and SAS 16 each at two. MULTISWISS holds 11 and is the one family whose largest category is Swiss-type rather than Metal Cutting, 6 of its 11. SWISS carries 10. MULTIDECO holds 8, split evenly between Metal Cutting and CNC Lathes. GT holds 6, with GT-26 and GT-32 each at two. DELTA holds 6, all under Metal Cutting. AS holds 5. MULTI, ALMAC, SWISSNANO and SIGMA each hold 4. GAMMA and EVODECO each hold 3. MS7, SWISSDECO, MULTISIGMA, BS, SAS166, SAS16 and ROBOBAR each hold 2. SAS, SAS16 and SAS166 are separate groupings, as are MULTI, MULTISWISS, MULTIDECO and MULTISIGMA. They quote apart, so we count them apart.
What Moves the Number on a Used Tornos
On most Tornos machines the capacity figure is already in the model designation. DECO 10, DECO 26, GT-26, GT-32, SIGMA 20, Delta 20/5, DELTA 20/4, Gamma 20/6, MULTIDECO 26/6, Multideco 20/6 and the DECO 2000/10, 2000/13, 2000/20 and 2000/26 units all carry their number in the name. A photo of the data plate gets you most of the way. After that: condition and configuration. Guide bushing and collet wear. Spindle condition and hours. Whether it still holds tolerance on the parts it ran. Live tooling and back-working attachments. Control make and software generation, since a machine the next shop can still program is worth more. Then the Swiss-cell item: does the bar feeder go with the machine. It matters enough that Bar Feeders is its own category in this hub. Jason Puuri weighs all of it himself rather than running a formula, and a quote typically comes back in 24 to 48 hours.
Have This Ready Before You Call
The calls that turn into offers fastest are the ones where the seller has the plate in hand. Model and serial off the data plate. Build year, worth going to find: 82 of the 199 listings in this book reached us with no year at all, and a year narrows an offer faster than anything else here. Then the capacity figure from the model designation. Spindle count. Control make and generation. Whether the bar feeder, collets, guide bushings and tooling go with it or stay. Whether it is still under power. Photos are not required but they speed things up. Three are enough: the control screen, the data plate, and one wide shot far enough back to catch the bar feeder as well as the machine. A Swiss cell occupies a longer footprint than the machine alone, and we build the rigging plan off the real layout. Rigging, crating and freight are on us, nationwide.
Selling a Tornos Direct Instead of Listing It
Machine Tool Exchange buys the machine. We are not a broker, an auction platform or a consignment listing service, so you sell to us instead of waiting on us to find a buyer. No listing fees and no broker fees. Payment happens at pickup, not net 30. We have bought and sold industrial machinery since Superior Machine and Tool was founded in 2012. For a Swiss shop that matters specifically: the machine, its bar feeder, collets and tooling go on one quote and one pickup schedule, not unbundled. The cell leaves the way it ran. Mixed floors work the same way. We buy Mazak, Okuma, Doosan and Haas equipment elsewhere on this site, and those go on the same quote as your Tornos machines. A Tornos machine that is not a Swiss lathe still gets an offer: this hub carries ALMAC units, three filed as metal cutting and one as a CNC vertical machining center.
Common questions
Who buys used Tornos machines?
Machine Tool Exchange buys them directly, nationwide. We are not a broker, an auction platform or a listing service. You sell to us, and we handle logistics and resale.
Do you buy Tornos DECO and DECO 2000 machines?
Yes. DECO is the largest family in our Tornos book at 55 listings, including DECO 2000/10, 2000/13, 2000/20 and 2000/26. Each is scoped on its own capacity, control and condition.
Do you buy Tornos MultiSwiss and MultiDeco machines?
Yes, and they are scoped separately from DECO rather than folded into one number. Eleven MULTISWISS and eight MULTIDECO listings sit here, 6 of the 11 MULTISWISS filed as Swiss-type lathes.
Will you buy the bar feeder along with the machine?
Yes, and tell us upfront whether it is included. Bar feeders are their own category inside this book, and a Swiss cell quotes differently with the feeder than without one.
How much is a used Tornos machine worth?
It depends on the model, capacity, build year, control, tooling and condition, plus what the used market is doing. Send us the specific machine and Jason Puuri will quote it.
Do you buy older Tornos machines, or only recent ones?
Both. Among the listings here that carry a build year, the oldest is 1971 and the newest 2023. Age narrows what we can offer; it does not rule it out.
Can I sell other brands along with my Tornos?
Yes, on one quote and one pickup schedule. Mazak, Okuma, Doosan and Haas equipment goes on the same quote as your Tornos machines, so the whole floor leaves together.
Thinking about selling Tornos Machines?
DECO is what comes through most here, 55 of the 199 in this book, and on most Tornos machines the capacity is already in the model name, so a data plate photo gets us most of the way. Tell us whether the bar feeder and collets go with it. Jason Puuri quotes within 24 to 48 hours. Call 800-822-9524.
