CNC Horizontal Machining Centers
Used Kitamura HX800i: Sell or Buy at Auction
Kitamura is a Japanese precision machine tool builder specializing in high-accuracy horizontal machining centers and vertical machining centers. Known for superior spindle quality and rigid construction, Kitamura machines are a preferred choice in aerospace, die and mold, and precision medical machining. The Mycenter series offers high-speed machining with exceptional thermal stability.
The Kitamura HX800i is a four-axis horizontal machining center built around an 800 by 800 mm pallet, which places it a clear step above the 630 mm HX630i and the smaller HX500i and sizes it for larger tombstones, heavier fixtures, and the multi-part setups those smaller HX models cannot hold. It comes standard with a full rotary fourth axis and a two-pallet automatic pallet changer, so a finished setup rotates out while the spindle keeps cutting and an operator loads the next fixture offline. A No. 50 taper geared spindle, a work envelope near 1,000 mm (about 39 inches) of swing and roughly 43 inches of height, and a table rated for close to 2,600 pounds of workholding let it run large aerospace structural parts and heavy die and mold work that a vertical machine cannot. Kitamura's rigid, thermally managed frame and coolant-through-spindle design hold tolerance across long, lightly attended runs. At auction the typical buyers are aerospace and structural component shops, heavy die and mold builders, and precision manufacturers moving up from vertical machining to horizontal productivity. KD Auctions puts a used HX800i in front of its 500,000+ industry contacts, connecting sellers with the aerospace and precision machining shops that specifically search for large-pallet Kitamura horizontal capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a used Kitamura HX800i worth at auction?
Auction value tracks the machine's age, spindle hours, control, tooling and pallet package, and its overall condition and calibration history. Because the HX800i is one of Kitamura's large-pallet horizontals with a No. 50 taper spindle, well-documented units with maintenance and calibration records tend to draw strong interest from aerospace and heavy die and mold buyers. KD Auctions provides a free AMEA-accredited, USPAP-compliant appraisal covering both orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV), so you know where a specific machine stands before it is listed.
How is the HX800i different from the Kitamura HX630i, and how do I sell mine?
The HX800i runs an 800 mm pallet against the 630 mm pallet on the HX630i, so it takes bigger tombstones, heavier fixtures, and longer parts. That pulls in shops making larger aerospace structural components and bigger die and mold bases, rather than the smaller work more typical of the HX630i. To sell one, call KD Auctions at 480.455.3910. A managed auction runs about 6 to 10 weeks from engagement to payout, with onsite dispatch handled within 48 to 72 hours.
