Used Milltronics CM26: Sell or Buy at Auction
Milltronics is an American CNC machine tool builder known for the Centurion conversational CNC control system that makes part programming accessible without G-code expertise. Milltronics vertical machining centers and knee mills are a popular choice in job shops, toolrooms, and educational environments throughout North America. Domestic manufacturing and parts support provide strong serviceability.
The Milltronics CM26 is a CNC machining center from Milltronics, the Waconia, Minnesota company that has built its own controls and machines in the United States since the 1970s. Like the rest of the Milltronics machining center line, it runs a Milltronics conversational control, the Centurion on most vintages, that also accepts standard G-code, so an operator can program a part right at the machine without deep code experience or load an existing CAM program. Automatic tool changing carries it through multi-tool jobs without stopping to swap tooling by hand. Exact travels, spindle, and tool capacity vary by year and configuration, so confirm those against the machine's tag rather than assume a number. The American-built lineage matters at resale: parts and service stay stateside, and job shops, toolrooms, and vocational programs already know the Centurion interface. What a used CM26 brings at auction comes down to age, hours, condition, the control it carries, and the tooling package included, and a clean, well-maintained unit with a working control tends to draw active bidding. KD Auctions moves machines like this through a network of 500,000+ industry contacts, putting a CM26 in front of the shops actively shopping for straightforward CNC capability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a used Milltronics CM26 worth at auction?
Auction value for a used Milltronics CM26 depends on its age, hours, overall condition, the control it carries, and the tooling package included, so a firm number comes from the specific machine rather than the model name. Rather than guess, KD Auctions offers a free AMEA-accredited, USPAP-compliant appraisal that documents both orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV), giving you a defensible figure before you decide whether to sell.
How do I sell a Milltronics CM26 through KD Auctions?
Call KD Auctions at 480.455.3910 to get started. A managed auction typically runs 6 to 10 weeks from engagement to payout, and once the sale closes, onsite dispatch begins within 48 to 72 hours. Commission is tailored to the engagement and quoted upfront, and most sellers pay nothing out of pocket.
