Why Sell Your VMC to MTE?


Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a used vertical machining center worth?

VMC values vary widely based on brand, model, age, spindle hours, and condition. A recent Haas VF-2 with low hours will hold strong value. A 20-year-old Fadal with high hours is a different conversation. The fastest way to find out is to contact us with your machine details and we’ll send a quote based on current market conditions.

Who buys used VMCs?

Machine Tool Exchange is a direct buyer of used vertical machining centers. We buy VMCs from all major manufacturers (Haas, Mazak, Makino, DMG Mori, Okuma, Doosan, and more). We’re not an auction platform or listing service. When you sell to MTE, you sell to us directly.

What is the scrap value of a CNC machine?

If your VMC is beyond repair, scrap value depends on weight and material content. However, many machines that owners assume are only worth scrap still have significant resale value for parts, rebuilds, or export markets. Before scrapping, contact us for a quote. You may be surprised.
