Used Hardinge Sprint 32: Sell or Buy at Auction

Known for superior precision and the Hardinge Super-Precision® lathe line, Hardinge machines are common in aerospace, defense, and medical device manufacturing.
FLAG FOR REVIEW: do not publish under the Hardinge brand. The brand and model do not match. Hardinge has never built a lathe, grinder, or turning center called "Sprint 32." Its real precision turning lines are the tool-room and second-operation machines (HLV-H, DSM-59, DV-59, HC, and the HSL Speed Lathe) and the CNC families (Conquest, Quest, Cobra, Talent, and the GT/GS gang-tool lathes). None of them use a "Sprint" name. "Sprint 32" is a DMG MORI machine, originally sold under the Gildemeister brand. It is a horizontal production turning machine of the Swiss-type, linear-axis class, offered in 32|5, 32|8, and 32|10 configurations. The "32" is its bar capacity, about 32 mm (roughly 1.26 in) through the main and counter spindles, with parts handled up to about 600 mm long. These machines run a FANUC control, pair a main spindle with a counter spindle for back-working, and carry live tooling for milling and drilling, which is why they land in high-volume screw-machine and precision-component shops rather than in tool rooms. Because the machine is a DMG MORI, writing Hardinge spindle, travel, and control copy for it would mean inventing numbers for a product that does not exist under that brand, which the no-fabrication rule forbids. Re-file the asset under DMG MORI (Gildemeister) Sprint 32, confirm the exact configuration (32|5, 32|8, or 32|10), model year, spindle count, and control from the tag or the consignor, then generate the page from the corrected record. Once the listing is accurate, KD Auctions can appraise the machine or take it to auction and put it in front of 500,000+ industry contacts. Sellers can start at 480.455.3910.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is "Sprint 32" really a Hardinge?
No. Hardinge has never built a Sprint series. The Sprint 32 is a DMG MORI machine sold under the former Gildemeister brand, a Swiss-type, linear-axis production turning machine with about 32 mm bar capacity, a main and counter spindle, live tooling, and a FANUC control, offered in 32|5, 32|8, and 32|10 configurations. If the machine's tag reads "Sprint 32," it belongs under DMG MORI (Gildemeister), not Hardinge. Correcting the brand first keeps the listing accurate and searchable under the name the market actually uses.
How do I find out what a used Sprint 32 is worth, and can KD Auctions sell it?
Value is not a single sticker number. It depends on the machine's age, spindle hours, overall condition, the control and its generation, and the tooling and bar feed that come with it, so a 32|10 with live tooling and a late FANUC control will not carry the same value as an older, stripped 32|5. KD Auctions offers a free AMEA-accredited, USPAP-compliant appraisal that documents both orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV), so you know the realistic range before you decide. If you choose to sell, commission is tailored to the engagement and quoted upfront, and most sellers pay nothing out of pocket. A managed auction typically runs 6 to 10 weeks from engagement to payout, with onsite dispatch within 48 to 72 hours, and your machine reaches KD Auctions' 500,000+ industry contacts. Start at 480.455.3910.
