Press Brakes, Shears & Machining
Used Cincinnati Autoform Press Brake: 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 Autoform is a hydraulic CNC press brake from Cincinnati Incorporated, the Harrison, Ohio manufacturer whose press brakes and shears have been a fixture in American fabrication shops for decades. It is not one of the company's older mechanical, air-clutch brakes: the Autoform pairs a hydraulic ram with Cincinnati's own CNC control and a programmable back gauge, so an operator can store bend programs, position the gauge automatically, and hold consistent angles from the first part to the last. Cincinnati offered the Autoform across a wide range of capacities, from mid-size machines up through 350-ton and larger models, with bed lengths that commonly run from 6 to 14 feet, which is why it turns up so often for buyers searching a Cincinnati press brake for sale in a specific tonnage. Typical bidders are metal fabrication, HVAC, and general job shops that want a rugged, precise forming machine backed by parts and service support that remains widely available across the United States, along with shops adding a dependable second brake to protect production. At auction, KD Auctions reaches 500,000+ industry contacts, and well-kept Autoform brakes with a healthy hydraulic system, a functioning CNC control and back gauge, and intact safety guarding tend to draw the most active bidding.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Cincinnati Autoform press brake worth at auction?
Value depends on the machine's age and hours, its tonnage and bed length, the condition of the ram and hydraulic system, the generation of CNC control, and the tooling included, so no two Autoform brakes sell for the same number. KD Auctions offers a free AMEA-accredited, USPAP-compliant appraisal that documents both orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV), giving a seller a defensible figure before deciding whether to sell.
Is the Cincinnati Autoform a mechanical press brake?
No. Cincinnati built mechanical, air-clutch press brakes in its earlier years, but the Autoform line is hydraulic and CNC-controlled, driving the ram with hydraulics and positioning stock with a programmable back gauge. That gives it more repeatable angle control than an older mechanical brake while keeping the heavy-duty build and domestic parts support Cincinnati machines are known for, which is a common point of confusion for buyers comparing used Cincinnati brakes.
