Press Brakes, Shears & Machining

Used Cincinnati Arrow 500 VMC: Sell or Buy at Auction

Cincinnati Incorporated is an American manufacturer of press brakes, shears, laser cutting systems, and additive manufacturing equipment. Cincinnati machines, particularly press brakes and hydraulic shears, are workhorses of American metal fabrication shops, known for robust construction and long service life.

The Cincinnati Milacron Arrow 500 is a three-axis CNC vertical machining center built for small to mid-size precision work. Its model designation tracks its roughly 500 mm (about 20 inches) of X-axis travel, the tightest envelope in the Arrow family and well under the larger Arrow 750 and Arrow 1000. It runs a 40-taper (CAT40) spindle suited to high-speed cutting, cycles tooling through an automatic tool changer, and is driven by the Acramatic 2100 control that Cincinnati fitted across the Arrow line. Job shops, tool and die operations, and contract machine shops buy this model because the CAT40 taper keeps holders interchangeable with the rest of a shop's fleet, and because a rigid, well-maintained Cincinnati mill holds real production value long after it leaves the factory floor. At auction the Arrow 500 draws steady interest from smaller shops priced out of new machining centers and from buyers who value the well-established domestic support network for Cincinnati machines and Acramatic controls. KD Auctions moves these compact VMCs through its network of 500,000+ industry contacts, matching sellers with shops that specifically want a proven, mid-size Cincinnati mill rather than a larger, higher-overhead machine.
