What is the price of the new CNC lathe? Is it cost-effective to buy a second-hand lathe

CNC lathe is an indispensable processing equipment in the modern processing field. However, when some friends purchase equipment, the purchase price of new CNC lathes is higher than that of second-hand lathes. So, is it cheaper to buy a second-hand lathe than a brand new one?

In response to this problem, industry insiders said that this cannot be generalized. For those friends who have temporary problems with funds and are not very strong in processing, it is not impossible to buy a second-hand CNC lathe for emergency. However, the price of buying a second-hand lathe may not be more affordable than the price of buying a new CNC lathe.

Maybe some friends will say that the price of second-hand CNC lathes I see on the market is indeed lower than the price of brand-new CNC lathes.

Indeed, if we only consider this point, the price is really outstanding. However, we should not ignore an important issue, that is, other additional costs of second-hand CNC lathes.

Generally speaking, second-hand CNC lathes are more or less worn in the process of use, especially for those used lathes with a relatively long service life. Therefore, if we use second-hand lathes for processing, it is likely to lead to a decline in the qualification rate of products, which will lead to an increase in our material costs.

Moreover, when purchasing a second-hand CNC lathe, its maintenance cost cannot be ignored. This not only increases the maintenance cost, but also increases the cost of work delay caused by downtime due to maintenance.

Therefore, it can be seen that although the price factor of the brand new CNC lathe is obvious temporarily, it is more stable in the use process, reducing our lost time costs and maintenance costs, which is of great help to improve labor productivity.
