Used Makino PS95: Sell or Buy at Auction
Makino is a premium Japanese machine tool manufacturer renowned for high-speed machining centers, horizontal machining centers, and EDM machines. Makino machines are the standard in aerospace, automotive die and mold, and precision manufacturing environments where surface finish and cycle time are critical. The Makino Pro 6 and Fanuc-based controls offer advanced thermal compensation and automation integration.
The Makino PS95 is a compact three-axis vertical machining center from Makino's PS Professional Series, built for high-precision small and mid-size parts. It carries X, Y, and Z travels of roughly 36 by 20 by 18 inches over a table about 46 by 20 inches rated to hold loads near 1,760 lbs, and it runs a CAT40 spindle up to 14,000 rpm driven by a 25 kW motor (about 33 hp on its 30-minute rating). Heavy cast-iron construction, core-cooled ballscrews, and active temperature control let it hold accuracy and surface finish through long unattended cycles, which is why aerospace component shops, medical device producers, and die and mold makers reach for a PS95 when a job is too small to justify a larger-footprint VMC but too tight to give up rigidity. Because Makino's precision reputation carries straight into the used market, a well-documented PS95 with spindle records, its Professional control detailed, and its original tooling draws serious bidding from shops that already run Makino and know exactly what this platform delivers. KD Auctions markets these machines to its network of 500,000+ industry contacts, reaching the operators and dealers who search specifically for a used Makino PS95 rather than treating it as a generic secondhand VMC.

What is a used Makino PS95 worth at auction?
Value depends on the machine's age, spindle hours, condition, control, and tooling package, and on a high-speed Makino spindle the documented spindle condition weighs especially heavily, so there is no single number that fits every PS95. KD Auctions provides a free AMEA-accredited, USPAP-compliant appraisal covering both orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV), giving sellers a documented basis before any auction or sale decision. Commission is tailored to the engagement and quoted upfront, and most sellers pay nothing out of pocket.
How is the PS95 different from a larger Makino vertical machining center?
The PS95 has a smaller table and travel envelope, about 36 by 20 by 18 inches, than Makino's larger-format VMCs, which makes it a better fit for compact, high-tolerance components than for big tooling plates or full mold bases. That distinction matters at auction because the shops shopping a PS95 are usually running small precision parts and want exactly that rigid, high-speed compact platform, a different audience than bidders chasing a larger machine. To sell a PS95 or any Makino machining center, call KD Auctions at 480.455.3910. A managed auction runs about 6 to 10 weeks from engagement to payout, with onsite dispatch scheduled within 48 to 72 hours.
