CNC Multi-Tasking Lathes
Used Nakamura-Tome AS-200: Sell or Buy at Auction
Nakamura-Tome is a Japanese machine tool builder specializing in multi-tasking CNC turning centers that combine turning, milling, and drilling in a single setup. Known for the WT (Work Twin) and NTRX series of multi-function lathes, Nakamura-Tome machines are a standard in precision machining shops that need done-in-one capability for complex parts.
The Nakamura-Tome AS-200 is a compact, single-spindle CNC turn-mill center in the 8-inch chuck class, and it does more than its size suggests. Unlike a plain turning lathe, the AS-200 comes standard with a Y-axis, a driven-tool (live) milling function, and a C-axis, so it turns, mills, drills, and machines off-center features in one setup. It runs a Fanuc control with a single 12- or 15-station turret and a rigid main spindle turning up to about 4,500 rpm, handling roughly 65mm (2.6 inch) bar work and chucked parts up to about 290mm (11 inch) in diameter. The longer AS-200L extends turning length for shaft and bar work. Precision, medical, and general job shops value it as a small-footprint machine that consolidates operations without the twin-spindle, twin-turret complexity of Nakamura-Tome's WT and NTRX lines. At auction, clean, well-tooled AS-200s draw steady interest from shops adding turn-mill capacity, and KD Auctions reaches a network of 500,000+ industry contacts nationwide.

What is a used Nakamura-Tome AS-200 worth at auction?
Auction value for an AS-200 depends on age, hours, condition, the control generation, and the tooling and options it carries, such as a sub-spindle, bar feeder, or extra live-tool holders, so there is no single figure to quote sight unseen. Before consigning, sellers can request a free AMEA-accredited, USPAP-compliant appraisal that reports both orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV), giving a documented basis for the decision.
How does the AS-200 differ from Nakamura-Tome's WT or NTRX machines?
All three turn and mill in one setup, so the real difference is architecture. The WT and NTRX series use twin spindles and twin turrets, letting two tools cut at once and passing parts to a second spindle for back-working without a manual reset, which suits high-volume, done-in-one production. The AS-200 performs its combined turning, milling, C-axis, and Y-axis work with a single spindle and a single turret in a much smaller footprint. Shops with mixed part families often run both: the AS-200 handles moderate-complexity parts efficiently while the twin-spindle machine absorbs the highest-volume, most complex jobs.
