How Selling Your Landis Works
Tell us which Landis it is
Use the form or call with what the plate says: for a grinder, the type letters such as 1R, 2R, 3R or CH, the swing and center distance, and whether it is CNC; for a threader, the head size and which die heads come with it. Photos and the year help, but are not required.
Get our quote within 24-48 hours
We look at your Landis against recent sales of comparable cylindrical grinders and threading machines and come back with a quote, usually within 24 to 48 hours. We are a direct buyer, not a broker, and we have been buying machines since 2012.
Rigging and freight, arranged
Accept the quote and we can arrange the rigging, crating, freight and pickup, from a single universal grinder to a long plain grinder with its steady rests and wheel hubs.

Two Landis Companies From One Waynesboro Family
Landis is two companies, and this hub's name belongs to the threading company, not the grinder maker. The Borough of Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, tells the story on its own history page: brothers Abraham and Franklin Landis came to the town from Lancaster County and built the first cylindrical grinding machine in 1883, formed a partnership in 1889 to make and sell it, and that partnership was succeeded by the Landis Tool Company in 1897. A. B. Landis then designed a screw-cutting die head for threading bolts, and the Landis Machine Company was organized in 1903 to market it. Wikipedia's article on Waynesboro also lists both the Landis Machine Company and the Landis Tool Company among the town's companies.
The two lines went separate ways. The borough says the threading company is now Landis Solutions, LLC. The grinders went to Fives, which counts Landis among the legacy names of its grinding business.
The Two Landis Companies
Two Waynesboro companies carried the Landis name. What each made, when it began, and who carries the line now:
| Company | What the sources say |
|---|---|
| Landis Tool Company | Succeeded the Landis brothers' grinder partnership in 1897 and built cylindrical grinders. The Landis grinder line is now Fives', built by Fives Landis Corp. in Hagerstown, Maryland. |
| Landis Machine Company | Organized in 1903 to market A. B. Landis's screw-cutting die head for threading bolts. Now known as Landis Solutions, LLC. |
The years are from the Borough of Waynesboro's history page. Landis Solutions' own site refused our request, so its own account is not cited here.
Where the Landis Grinder Line Is Built Today
Fives' Landis grinders come from Fives Landis Corp., which Fives names as a sister company based in Hagerstown, Maryland. In late 2024 Fives Giddings & Lewis purchased a large universal grinding machine from it, sized for cylindrical parts up to 236 inches long and due for delivery in late 2026.
On Fives' cylindrical pages the current Landis machines are the 3LVe, the TTG 1000 and the 18Ω for small and medium parts, and the LandisFLEX for workpieces 2.5m+ in length. Fives has added the Landis TTG 3000, a twin turret grinder in which one turret carries the wheel and the other holds the work. For crankshafts and camshafts, the Landis LT2He grinds parts up to 3,000mm long on hydrostatic slideways, with one or two wheelheads.
What the Machines Under This Hub Actually Are
Most machines listed under the Landis Machine Co name are Landis cylindrical grinders from the Landis Tool side, not threading machines. The common plate designations are the R types, 1R, 2R, 3R and 4R, with 3RH, 2RU and 3RU variants, the CH family (CH, CHW and CHHR), and the SE models such as the 2SE, 3SE and 5SE, which our listings file as CNC grinders. Their titles often add the swing and center distance and say universal, plain or ID.
Two groups tie straight to machines Fives still names: the 3L, which Fives says has over 500 installations worldwide and which its current 3LVe builds on, and LT2 machines, the family name Fives still uses for its LT2He crankshaft and camshaft grinder. A smaller set of listings are Landis threading machines from the Landis Machine Company side, bolt threaders and pipe threaders such as a 10T automatic double spindle pipe machine.
What Shapes an Offer on a Used Landis
On a grinder the first questions are the type and the size: a universal grinder such as a 1R and a plain grinder of the same swing are priced differently, and a long-bed machine takes more planning to move. CNC matters, as does the wheel: Fives offers CBN grinding wheels as an option on its current 3LVe, so a 3L already set up for CBN is worth naming. On a crankshaft grinder, hydrostatic slideways and whether it has one or two wheelheads are the big items.
On a threader, tell us the head size, the die heads and chasers that come with it, and whether it is a single or double spindle machine. For either kind, a machine that is under power and can be seen running gives the clearest picture.
GrinderCare, Landis Solutions, or Selling Outright
For a Landis grinder you plan to keep, Fives' GrinderCare program offers life cycle service for grinding machines and lists Landis among the OEMs it supports, next to Bryant, Norton and Cincinnati. Fives also offers control retrofits and mechanical rebuilds. For a threading machine, the successor company is Landis Solutions, LLC, the name the Landis Machine Company now goes by.
For a Landis that is surplus, whether a manual 1R universal or a CNC 2SE, we buy it outright, and a record of past rebuilds helps us price it.

We had a deadline for our asset removal, and they removed everything safely and finished ahead of schedule. The whole process was seamless and stress-free.
These guys made the whole process so easy. I got paid fast, and they picked up the equipment right on time.
Common questions
Do you buy used Landis cylindrical grinders?
Yes. Plain and universal Landis grinders are most of what we list under this name, from R-type and CH machines to grinders filed only by swing and length, such as a 10 x 72 or a 14 x 36. Have that size pair ready, plus whether the wheelhead swivels, the headstock and footstock types, any internal grinding attachment, and the control on a CNC machine: Siemens 840D, Allen-Bradley and GE Fanuc all appear in our Landis listings.
Do you buy Landis threading machines?
Yes, although fewer come to us than grinders; a Landmatic and a double-spindle pipe threader are among our Landis listings. On a threader, tell us the head size, the largest pipe or bolt diameter it threads, how many die heads and chaser sets come with it, and whether it is a manual or an automatic machine, plus a photo of the plate.
Who makes Landis grinders today?
Fives, the industrial engineering group, makes them. Landis is one of the legacy names in Fives' grinding business, and its US grinder company is Fives Landis Corp., based in Hagerstown, Maryland. Current Landis machines on Fives' pages include the 3LVe cylindrical grinder, the LandisFLEX for long parts, the TTG 3000 twin turret grinder and the LT2He crankshaft and camshaft grinder.
Is Landis Machine Company the same company as Landis Tool Company?
No. Both came out of Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, and the Landis brothers, but the Borough of Waynesboro's history separates them: the grinder partnership became the Landis Tool Company in 1897, and the Landis Machine Company was organized in 1903 to market A. B. Landis's threading die head. The threading company is now Landis Solutions, LLC; the Landis grinder line is now built by Fives Landis Corp. in Hagerstown, Maryland.
Who can rebuild or retrofit an old Landis grinder?
Fives, which owns the Landis grinder line, lists Landis among the machines its GrinderCare program supports, and it offers control retrofits and mechanical rebuilds for its legacy brands. That suits a Landis you are keeping. If the grinder is surplus, we buy it as it stands, rebuilt or not.
What was the Landis 3L cylindrical grinder?
The 3L is the Landis cylindrical grinder that Fives' current 3LVe is built on. Fives says there are over 500 installations of the original Landis 3L worldwide, and that the 3LVe can be set up for plunge, angle approach, peel or orbital grinding. A used 3L, including one fitted for CBN wheels, is one of the Landis grinders we buy.
Thinking about selling Landis Machine Co Machines?
Under the Landis name, a cylindrical grinder and a threading machine are different conversations, so we price each on its own type letters, size and condition. Tell us which Landis you have and what comes with it, and we come back with a number scoped on that machine.
