Used CNC Deep Hole Drilling Machines We Buy
Used CNC deep hole drilling machines are a focused corner of our inventory: 61 listings under a single category, six brands, nothing to sort through. UNISIG accounts for 41 of them and Poreba another 16, with gun drill and BTA work both represented on the page. What follows is how we scope one.

What Is on This Deep Hole Drilling Page
Sixty-one machines sit on this page, and that count is exact rather than rounded. All 61 fall under a single category, CNC Deep Hole Drilling Machines, so there is no sub-split to work through and no second listing view to check. Six brands are represented. UNISIG carries 41 and Poreba carries 16, which puts 57 of the 61 machines under two nameplates. Toshiba, G&L, Okuma and Tacchi hold one machine each. That makes this a focused page rather than a broad one, and it is worth saying plainly instead of dressing it up. For a seller it is the more useful fact: deep hole drills are a machine type Machine Tool Exchange keeps buying rather than one it takes in occasionally. When we quote a UNISIG or a Poreba, we are quoting a nameplate we have handled before and already know the buyer pool for, which usually keeps the call short.
UNISIG Model Families We See Most
UNISIG is the largest brand on this page at 41 machines, and most of them cluster into a handful of repeat families. UNI-series machines account for eight, B500 for five and USK50 for five, with USK75, USK38, KSG and B600 showing two apiece. Those seven families cover 26 of the 41, and the balance are individual model numbers rather than a repeating line. Real designations on the page include UNI-20-2-500 BTA, UNI-20-6-1000, UNI-6-4-2I and UNI-T25-2I-45, then B500-4B, B500-4M and B600 6M, then USK50-1000, USK50 500 and USK75-200BTA-CR, plus KSG-600NC, USC-M38, M-1146, M1121-2, R-2A-1000, UNE6-750-CR, BTA-2000 and R-SERIES-3. If yours is one of these, give us the full designation off the plate rather than just the brand. A UNI-20-6-1000 and a USK25 are different conversations even under one badge, and the same four things drive both: drilling method, capacity in depth and diameter, spindle count, and which control is sitting on the machine.
Poreba WR and WT Series Deep Hole Drills
Poreba is the second brand block here with 16 machines, and they arrive under two nomenclatures. The WR side shows WR2 four times, WR1 twice and WR3 twice. The WT side shows WT1, WT2 and WT2B twice each. Those six families cover 14 of the 16 Poreba listings. The exact designation matters more on these than on most machines, because a Poreba is usually identified by its model string and little else: WR1 80 and WR1-80F, WR2 200 and WR2-160F, WR3 250 and WR3-250F, WT1 80, WT2 160, WT2B-160 CNC, and WT3 250. The trailing F and the CNC suffix are what separate two otherwise identical entries, so read them off the data plate, not from memory. We do not publish spec interpretations for these families and will not guess at one on a call. Tell us the depth and diameter the machine actually drills and we work from that.
Gun Drill, BTA, or Combination: What Moves the Offer
Drilling method is the first question, because it decides who wants the machine. Gun drilling uses a single-flute tool with internal coolant to put down deep, precise holes, usually in smaller diameters. BTA drilling uses an external tool body with internal chip evacuation, handles larger diameters, and removes material faster. Those two serve different shops; a combination machine serves both. MTE buys all three. BTA work shows up in our own catalog: UNI-20-2-500 BTA, BTA-2000 and USK75-200BTA-CR all carry it. After method comes capacity, meaning max depth and max diameter, then spindle specs and spindle count, then control type, then condition and whether the machine still holds tolerance. Deep hole drills are specialized equipment with a niche buyer pool, and they hold value well when maintained. Jason Puuri weighs method and capacity against condition himself rather than running the machine through a formula. The details you send change the number.
Have This Ready Before You Call
The list is short. Brand, model, year, condition, and drilling capacity as max depth and max diameter. Then the drilling method, gun drill, BTA or ejector, plus spindle specs, control type and the serial number. Photos help but are not required. On this class of machine the data plate does more work than a paragraph of description, because the model designation is often the only reliable identifier, and it is the thing we match against machines we have bought before. A build year is recorded on only a handful of the listings on this page, which is why we ask for yours rather than assume it. Once we have the details, an offer typically comes back within 24 to 48 hours. If something is missing, say so instead of estimating it. An offer built on real numbers holds at pickup; one built on a guess gets revised on the dock.
Deep Hole Drills We Buy Beyond This Page
Six brands are on this page today, and the MTE buy list runs wider than that. We regularly purchase Eldorado, TBT, Nagel and SIG gun drills, along with Heller and Mollart Engineering deep hole drilling machines. None of those are on this page now. They are nameplates we buy when a shop has one. The same goes for configurations: multi-spindle gun drilling machines, combination gun drill and BTA systems, and CNC deep hole drilling centers are all machines we purchase. On terms, MTE arranges rigging, crating and freight at no cost to the seller, in all 50 states, and pays at pickup rather than net-30. We are a direct buyer, not a broker and not a listing service, so you sell to us, not through us. If the deep hole drill is not the only machine leaving the floor, lathes, VMCs and HMCs go on the same quote and pickup.
Common questions
How much is a used deep hole drilling machine worth?
Brand, drilling method, capacity, year and condition. Specialized machines with a niche buyer pool hold value well when maintained. Send the details for a number.
What is the difference between gun drilling and BTA drilling?
Gun drilling uses a single-flute tool with internal coolant for deep, precise holes in smaller diameters. BTA uses an external tool body with internal chip evacuation, handling larger diameters at higher removal rates. MTE buys both.
Who buys used deep hole drilling machines?
Machine Tool Exchange buys them directly: gun drills, BTA machines and combination systems. Not a broker, not a listing service. You sell to us, not through us.
What details do you need to quote my deep hole drill?
Brand, model, year, condition, and drilling capacity as max depth and max diameter, plus the drilling method, spindle specs and control type. Photos help but are not required.
Do I pay for rigging and freight on a deep hole drill?
No. MTE arranges rigging, crating and freight at no cost to you, in all 50 states, and pays at pickup rather than net-30. Deep hole drills are long and heavy; that part is ours.
Will you buy a deep hole drill that is idle or needs spindle work?
Yes. Running, idle, or needing spindle work. Tell us the condition upfront so the offer is accurate rather than revised at pickup.
Do you buy deep hole drill brands that are not listed on this page?
Yes. Six brands are on this page today. MTE also buys Eldorado, TBT, Nagel, SIG, Heller and Mollart Engineering deep hole drills, plus multi-spindle and combination gun drill and BTA systems.
Thinking about selling CNC Deep Hole Drilling Machines?
UNISIG and Poreba account for 57 of the 61 deep hole drills here, so a seller with either nameplate is talking to a buyer who has handled that machine before rather than pricing it off a table. Method and depth-to-diameter capacity, not the badge, decide which shops want it. Jason Puuri scopes it himself, and these machines are long and awkward enough that the rigging stays on us.
