Every CNC category, mapped to the right buyer pool
CNC buyers are specialized — a Swiss screw machine buyer is not a 5-axis mill buyer. We route each machine to the dealer or end-user actively hunting for it.
Machining centers
- VMCs (3-axis & 4-axis)
- 5-axis & trunnion mills
- HMCs with pallet pools
- High-speed mills
- Bridge & gantry mills
- Box-way & linear-rail platforms
Turning & multi-axis
- CNC lathes (2-axis)
- Live-tool & Y-axis lathes
- Sub-spindle turning centers
- Mill-turn machines
- Swiss-type lathes (Citizen, Star, Tornos)
- Vertical lathes & VTLs
Routers, lasers & EDM
- CNC routers (3-axis & 5-axis)
- Fiber & CO2 lasers
- Plasma cutters
- Wire EDM
- Sinker EDM
- Hole popper / fast-hole EDM

Built for the people who actually run these projects
The right channel for the right asset
CNC values are control-, hours-, and option-dependent. We price line-item against current dealer markets.
Direct dealer & end-user sales
Late-model machining centers placed directly with buyers actively shopping.
International export sales
Buyers in Mexico, Canada, Europe, and Asia bid actively on quality CNC.
Online timed auctions
Public auctions for broad-spectrum CNC dispositions.
Cell or line packages
Multi-machine cells with automation sold as turnkey systems.
Trade-in / upgrade financing
Coordination with new-machine dealers when shops are upgrading.
Every kind of wind-down
Shop closures & retirements
Single-owner shops disposing of full CNC inventory.
Capacity right-sizing
Selling redundant CNC after demand contraction or product mix changes.
Tech refresh
Disposing of older controls (Fanuc 18i, 21i) as new machines come online.
ABL repossessions
Lender recoveries on CNC equipment under UCC-1.
Bankruptcy & ABC sales
Court-supervised CNC dispositions with reporting.
What CNC buyers actually want documented
Spindle hours, control version, way condition, included tooling, and removal access — these are the data points that move CNC pricing up or down. We document all of it.
Spindle hour verification
Recorded from the control and disclosed to buyers up front.
Control & software version
Fanuc 30i vs. 0i, Siemens, Mitsubishi — pricing reflects current vs. legacy controls.
Included tooling & holders
Tool changers, holders, and chucks documented and included or sold separately.
Removal access
Door clearance, ceiling height, and crane access verified before sale.
Way condition & alignment
Disclosed honestly — buyers value transparency over surprises.

Why CNC sellers and dealers work with Stonebridge
CNC pricing isn't a flat percentage of original cost — it's a real-time function of control version, hours, options, and the buyer pool actively in the market for that platform.
Line-item CNC pricing
Each machine priced against actual recent dealer transactions for that exact model, control, and option set.
Direct buyer & dealer network
Active buyers across U.S., Mexico, Canada, Europe, and Asia. We get faster fair-value bids than open auction alone.
Disconnect, rigging, freight handled
Three-phase disconnect, anchor removal, rigging, and freight forwarders coordinated end-to-end.
A clear, low-friction first conversation
The first call is short and useful — even if you ultimately decide not to move forward. No hard sell, no pressure, no obligation.
- 1
You share what you have
Equipment list, photos, location, and timing — even rough info is fine. We can also pull from a previous appraisal or insurance schedule.
- 2
We respond with a plan
Within one business day, you'll get a recommended channel mix, a realistic timeline, and a clear view of what we'll handle vs. what stays on your plate.
- 3
You decide, on your terms
If it's a fit, we move forward. If it's not, you walk away with useful information and zero cost.
- 4
We run the project
Once you sign off, we take over: marketing, buyer vetting, scheduling, removal coordination, and final accounting.
Premium brands buyers actively search for
CNC buyers consistently chase these brands. Older premium brands often outperform newer commodity imports.
Control brand and version often matters more than machine age — a 12-year-old Mazak with current Mazatrol can outsell a 5-year-old commodity machine.
Not sure what your assets are worth?
We'll review what you have and recommend the channel — direct sale, auction, or hybrid — that nets the most for your situation.
