Used CNC machines
CNC machines reach the market because a line changes, a contract ends or a business is wound up — rarely because the machine is finished. A supported machine with its tooling and controls intact can have a long second life in another workshop.

LotLoop has no cnc machines listed today. Tell us what you need — buyers can post a request describing the make, specification and quantity, and we will go and look for it.
This is the category where inspection matters most and where the cost of a mistake is highest. Condition, controls, tooling and what it takes to move the thing are all part of the price, and none of them show in a photograph.
What to check before you buy
See it cutting, under power
A machine you can watch run tells you more than any description. If it is already disconnected, ask for video of it running before decommissioning, and ask why it came out of service.
Control generation and licences
Confirm the control, that it is still supported, and that licences, post-processors and parameter backups transfer. An orphaned control is a far bigger problem than a worn spindle.
Spindle and ways
Listen to the spindle through its range and check for play. Inspect the ways and covers for wear and scoring, and ask when the machine was last levelled or had a ballscrew replaced.
Tooling and accessories
Establish exactly which toolholders, chucks, fixtures, probes, manuals and spares are included. On a machining centre the tooling package can be a large share of the value.
Rigging, power and floor
Weight, access, supply phase, floor loading and whether a rigger is needed. Agree who disconnects and who lifts before the sale, not afterwards.
Buying through LotLoop
Every listing is reviewed by a person before publication. Sellers are businesses, checked against their Companies House record, and the result of that check is shown on the listing. You can buy at a fixed price, make an offer, or request an inspection first.
The buyer pays on the platform and LotLoop holds the seller’s transfer until collection or delivery has been verified. This is not escrow and we do not describe it as such: it is a delayed transfer against an evidenced handover.
Questions
Should I inspect a used CNC machine before buying?
Yes, and if possible see it cutting. Request an inspection through the listing. Seeing a machine under power before decommissioning is the most useful thing a buyer can do.
What about moving it?
Collection requirements are stated on each listing and LotLoop can help arrange transport. Payment is held until collection or delivery has been evidenced.
Do you list machinery from closures and insolvencies?
Yes, and liquidation listings are labelled as such, with the seller's status shown rather than left for you to work out.
Selling CNC machines?
Listing costs nothing and you receive the full amount you list or agree. Submit it privately — nothing is published until LotLoop has reviewed it.
