Unknown CNC machines??

[vanmedic]

Ok, just let me know.



I would say so for the mill. Parting out the control, boards and motors are worth a lot more than that. I would say the mill would weigh at least 8k, but probably closer to 10k. It's hard to tell the weight for the lathe. It's control parts probably won't bring as much.

Thank you sir

When all else fails, Red River Machiney South of Dallas on 45 may be of help. I don't have contact info handy.
You can send the machine info to them and get an idea if they can sell it.

Dillon if you want to take a walk through almost everything is for sale.

Sounds good I’ll shot you a text tomorrow and maybe I can swing by one night this week or something.

What little I have learned about CNC equipment, is the older operating systems and computers were outdated many years ago. The controls are basically junk, they call those dead heads. The mill it's self, can be retrofitted with modern controls and made useable again. But that takes someone that really knows what they are doing. I spent a lot of hours ready about the early days of CNC controls a while back. Most everything uses G code now, which varies quite a bit, but still somewhat standardized. The early stuff from the 80s and 90s, was typically a case of a computer and operating system was made for a brand of machine and that computer and that would be the only place it was used. Once they died, they were usually useless and wound up like the machines you have, they would get labeled as dead heads and would sit collecting dust.

I have read it is possible to purchase modern controls and have the machines retrofitted and bring them back to life. Not something just anybody is going to be able to do. I would sure like to have both the mill and the lathe, but I have no idea who to talk to about getting them retrofitted and what the cost would be.

From what I've seen over the years is retrofitting costs almost as much as a new machine. That's why most companies don't do it.


OP, those are some cool old machines. Machine #2 looks to be an old NC (Not CNC) lathe. There is no display so it probably ran using the old paper or mylar tapes. I started out on NC's and to this day, when I write a program I still call them tapes.

If you have issues selling, you may want to look into donating it to a trade school. When I was going to TSTI 30 years ago someone donated a CNC machine and my assignment was to make it run. I succeeded but had no idea how to use it.

Any idea if the Delta planer is in working condition and if it is, what would you take for it?

Very little use in planer , weighs around 300 lbs fold up roller table. 400.00

This. Cool old machines though. The blue mill looks like an old Hurco

Problem is finding someone to move the **** things 😂

[Hoggslayer]

PM me a price on the engraver when you figure it out. I am very interested.
