Why Sell Your 5-Axis CNC Machine to MTE?
- 5-axis machines hold exceptional resale value. New 5-axis machines cost $150,000 to over $1 million. Used machines retain a significant percentage of that value due to strong demand and limited supply on the secondary market.
- We understand 5-axis pricing. MTE is an affiliate of Superior Machine Tools with decades of experience in the used CNC market. We know the difference between a 3+2 positioning machine and full simultaneous 5-axis, and we price accordingly.
- Free logistics, nationwide. 5-axis machines are complex and heavy. We handle rigging, crating, and freight at no cost, anywhere in the US.
- Fast payment. We pay at pickup. No net-30, no waiting for a buyer.
- Any condition. Running production, sitting idle, or needs spindle work. We evaluate 5-axis machines in all states.
- Direct buyer. MTE is not a broker or listing service. You sell directly to us.
What Is Your Used 5-Axis Machine Worth?
5-axis CNC machines are the highest-value machines in the secondary market. Used 5-axis machines regularly trade between $200,000 and $800,000+, depending on brand, model, year, and configuration.
Key factors that determine 5-axis resale value:
- Simultaneous vs. 3+2: Full simultaneous 5-axis capability commands a premium over 3+2 positioning machines
- Spindle hours: Lower hours mean higher value, but high-hour machines are still worth selling
- Pallet automation: Machines with pallet changers or pallet pool systems are in higher demand
- Tooling package: High-capacity tool magazines (60, 90, 120+ tools) and complete tooling add significant value
- Probing and coolant systems: Through-spindle coolant, high-pressure systems, and probing increase value
- Brand: Makino, DMG Mori, and Mazak 5-axis machines typically command the highest resale prices

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a used 5-axis CNC machine worth?
Used 5-axis machines typically sell between $200,000 and $800,000+, depending on brand, model, year, spindle hours, and configuration. Full simultaneous 5-axis machines from Makino, DMG Mori, and Mazak hold the highest resale values. A newer, low-hour Mazak Variaxis with pallet automation will command a significantly higher price than an older 3+2 machine. Contact us for a quote on your specific machine.
Who buys used 5-axis CNC machines?
Machine Tool Exchange is a direct buyer of used 5-axis CNC machines nationwide. We purchase 5-axis VMCs, HMCs, and mill-turn machines from Mazak, DMG Mori, Makino, Okuma, Doosan, Haas, Matsuura, Hermle, and all other major manufacturers. You sell directly to us -- no listing fees, no auction commissions.
What is the difference between 3+2 and simultaneous 5-axis?
A 3+2 machine (also called positional 5-axis) rotates the workpiece to a fixed angle, then cuts using 3 axes. A simultaneous 5-axis machine moves all 5 axes at the same time during cutting, allowing more complex geometry in a single setup. Simultaneous 5-axis machines are more capable and command higher resale prices. MTE buys both types.
Do you buy 5-axis machines with pallet systems?
Yes. MTE buys 5-axis machines with any configuration, including single-table, dual-pallet, and full pallet pool systems. Automated 5-axis cells with pallet systems and robotic loading are in particularly high demand and command premium resale pricing.
