We Buy Durma Fabrication Equipment Directly
Machine Tool Exchange is a direct buyer of used Durma fabrication equipment, including press brakes, shears, fiber laser cutters, plasma cutters, turret punches, ironworkers, and plate rolls. MTE buys Durma machines outright in any condition nationwide, handles rigging and freight, and pays at pickup.
Durma, built by Durmazlar Makine in Turkey, is one of the highest-volume metal-fabrication machinery builders in the world. Its press brakes, shears, and fiber lasers run on fabrication floors across the country, and that installed base is exactly why the equipment stays in demand on the secondary market. When a shop upgrades, downsizes, or closes, a well-kept Durma machine does not stop holding value. It becomes surplus that still commands a strong price.
MTE buys that surplus directly. We are not a listing service, not an auction house, and not a broker. We purchase your equipment outright, we do not buy on consignment, and we pay at pickup. We handle the rigging, crating, and freight at no cost to you, and we coordinate the pickup around your shop schedule.
That direct-buyer promise is the difference. A marketplace or a consignment arrangement asks you to photograph your machine, post it, store it, and wait for a buyer to materialize, sometimes for months. MTE makes you a real offer now, takes title, and writes the check. If you have a Durma machine sitting idle, call 800-822-9524 or fill out the form on our sell page.
Durma Machines We Buy
Durma builds a deep line of sheet-metal and plate fabrication equipment, and MTE buys across the whole catalog. Whether you have a single benchtop brake or a full fabrication line, we want to see the list. These are the Durma equipment families we actively buy:
- CNC press brakes in the AD-S, AD-R, and AD-Servo families, hydraulic and servo-electric, across the tonnage and bed-length range
- Hydraulic shears, both swing-beam (SBT) and variable-rake guillotine (VS), with CNC back gauges
- Fiber laser cutting machines in the HD-F and HD-FL families across the common fiber-source wattages
- Plasma cutting machines in the PL-C family
- CNC turret punch presses, including servo-electric punching
- Ironworkers in the IW series
- Plate rolls and angle rolls, including HRB plate rolls and section and angle rolls
- Saws and supporting fabrication equipment that comes off the same floor
If you are clearing more than one brand, we buy whatever is on the floor alongside the Durma machines through our Sell Your Machine hub. MTE understands Durma fabrication equipment because buying and selling used machinery is what we do.
Types of Durma Equipment We Buy
Durma CNC Press Brakes
Durma press brakes are the workhorse of the brand and the machine most fabrication shops call us about. The AD-R, AD-S, and AD-Servo families cover everything from compact shop brakes up through large beds in the several-hundred-ton class with multi-meter bending lengths. The CNC back gauge is what drives the value: Y1 and Y2 ram axes, an X axis for back-gauge depth, an R axis for finger height, and optional Z axes for finger spread give repeatable, programmable bends. Controls are typically Delem-family (ModEva, DA-series) or Cybelec, and a late-model graphical control with full axis count carries more than an older two-axis unit. We buy Durma press brakes in any condition, single units or several at once. To sell your Durma press brake, send us the model, tonnage, bed length, and control type and we will get to a number fast.
Durma Shears (Guillotine and Swing-Beam)
Durma shears cut clean, square stock across a fab floor, and they hold value because shops always need shearing capacity. The SBT swing-beam line and the VS variable-rake hydraulic guillotine shears come with CNC back gauges and are rated by cutting length and maximum material thickness, commonly in the 10 foot by quarter-inch class and up. A variable-rake shear that holds a true cut on heavier plate is worth more than a fixed-rake unit, and a working CNC back gauge adds to the number. MTE buys Durma shears in any condition, alongside the brakes and lasers on the same floor when you are clearing a line.
Durma Fiber Laser Cutting Machines
Fiber lasers are the fastest-moving part of the Durma catalog on the used market and the single biggest reason shops sell. When a fabricator upgrades from an older laser or plasma to a faster, higher-wattage fiber machine, the equipment being retired still has real value. Durma's HD-F and HD-FL families run common fiber sources across the roughly one to twelve kilowatt range, and the source wattage, the run hours, and the generation of the cutting head all factor into what the machine is worth. A higher-wattage fiber laser with reasonable hours is a strong, liquid asset. If you are retiring a Durma laser to make room for a new install, you can sell your Durma fiber laser to us directly and have it off the floor before the new machine arrives.
Durma Plasma Cutting Machines
Durma plasma cutting machines in the PL-C family handle plate cutting where a fiber laser is not required, and they stay in demand with shops that run heavier material or need a second cutting table. A plasma table displaced by a fiber laser upgrade is a common machine in our program, and it can be sold as a laser and plasma cutter through the same channel as the fiber lasers.
Durma Turret Punch Presses
Durma turret punch presses, including the servo-electric punching line, do high-volume hole and form work that a laser or brake cannot. Turret punches with a healthy tool turret and a working CNC control hold their value because the tooling investment behind them is significant. MTE buys them in any condition, and we buy the tooling that comes with them.
Durma Ironworkers, Plate Rolls, and Angle Rolls
Durma rounds out a fab shop with ironworkers, plate rolls, and angle rolls. The IW ironworker series punches, shears, and notches in one machine and is a fixture in structural and miscellaneous metal shops. HRB plate rolls and Durma section and angle rolls form cylinders, cones, and curved sections. These durable, mechanical machines keep working for decades, so even older units carry used-market value. We buy them as single machines or as part of a full-floor purchase.

Why Fabrication Shops Sell Durma Equipment
Fabrication is a capital-heavy business, and the equipment cycles for predictable reasons. These are the situations that most often bring a Durma seller to MTE.
Fiber Laser and Technology Upgrades
This is the single biggest driver of Durma equipment turnover. A shop that buys a new high-wattage fiber machine almost always has an older laser, plasma table, or punch to retire, and that machine is frequently in good working order, just slower than the new install. Rather than let it sit, shops sell it, and MTE is a ready buyer. The same pattern plays out when a shop moves from a hydraulic press brake to a servo-electric unit or adds CNC axes it did not have before.
Shop Downsizing or Retirement
Owners retire, partners split, and shops scale down. When a fabrication business winds down or shrinks its footprint, the Durma brakes, shears, and lasers need to convert back into cash quickly. MTE buys the equipment outright on one quote and one pickup, so an owner closing or downsizing is not left running an auction or fielding tire-kickers from a marketplace listing.
Facility Consolidation or Relocation
When two shops merge or a company consolidates into fewer plants, the duplicate machines become surplus. A second press brake, an extra shear, or a redundant fiber laser is dead capital on the floor. MTE buys the surplus out of a consolidation on one schedule, and we coordinate the rigging and freight so it leaves without disrupting the production that stays.
Capacity Rebalancing
Shops add and shed capacity as their order mix changes. A fabricator that wins long-run laser work may shed punching capacity, or one that moves into heavier plate may replace a light shear. Each rebalance generates a sellable Durma machine, and MTE turns that idle equipment back into working capital.
Estate or Liquidation
When a shop changes hands through an estate or a liquidation, the equipment has to be valued and sold. MTE handles these directly. We give a real number for the Durma machines and the rest of the floor, and we manage the removal, which matters when nobody on site is set up to rig and ship industrial equipment.

How to Sell Your Durma Machine to MTE
Selling your Durma equipment to Machine Tool Exchange is a three-step process.
Step 1: Tell Us What You Have
Call 800-822-9524 or fill out the form. Give us the model and serial number, the tonnage or laser wattage, the control type, the age, and the condition. For a press brake, add the bed length and axis count; for a shear, the cutting length and maximum thickness; for a fiber laser, the source wattage and run hours. Photos of the ram, back gauge, and control help but are not required. For a full line or a shop clearance, a basic equipment list with quantities is enough to start.
Step 2: Get a Quote Within 24-48 Hours
Our purchasing team evaluates your Durma equipment against current market data, the model, tonnage or wattage, control generation, included tooling, and condition, then gives you a transparent, market-based offer. Well-maintained Durma machines, especially higher-wattage fiber lasers and full-axis CNC press brakes, often value above general production iron because demand stays strong. No lowball formulas, no pressure, no obligation.
Step 3: We Handle Rigging, Freight, and Pay at Pickup
Accept the quote and MTE takes it from there. We arrange rigging, crating, and freight at no cost to you, and we pay at pickup. We coordinate around your shop schedule and your removal access to keep downtime to a minimum, whether it is a single press brake or an entire fabrication floor.
No listing your machines and waiting months. No auction gamble. No consignment. One quote, one pickup, one payment.

What Affects Your Durma Machine's Value
A fair quote starts with a clear picture of the machine. These are the factors our purchasing team looks at to value used Durma equipment, and the same details that help you get a number at the top of the range.
- Model and serial number. The exact model identifies the generation and build; the serial ties it to the build year.
- Tonnage and bed length. For press brakes, tonnage and bending length set the working envelope. A larger, higher-tonnage brake with a long bed holds more value.
- Cutting length and thickness. For shears, maximum cutting length and material thickness define the capability. A variable-rake shear that handles heavier plate is worth more.
- Laser source wattage and run hours. For fiber lasers, source wattage and accumulated hours are the biggest value drivers. Higher wattage and lower hours mean a stronger number.
- CNC control generation. A current Delem-family or Cybelec control with full axis count carries more than an older, limited control.
- Included tooling and completeness. Press-brake tooling, punch turret tooling, dies, and accessories add value. A complete, ready-to-run machine beats one missing key components.
- Condition evidence. Maintenance records and working power-on photos give us confidence to value at the top of the range.
For reference, a 1999 Durma 220-ton 12 foot hydraulic CNC press brake has been seen listed around $29,500, an illustration of how much value an older Durma machine still carries. We do not quote from a formula or a table. We give a transparent, market-based offer for your specific machine, with no obligation. Get a quote or call 800-822-9524.
