CNC Multi-Tasking Lathes
Used Nakamura-Tome NTRX-300: 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 NTRX-300 is a twin-spindle CNC multitasking lathe, often searched as a turn-mill center, built for complex parts that would otherwise pass through several machines and multiple setups. Rather than stacking turrets, it pairs opposing left and right spindles with a single B-axis milling spindle that swivels through roughly 225 degrees and feeds from an automatic tool changer, so one machine turns, mills, drills, and taps from almost any angle. That milling spindle runs up to 12,000 rpm and carries about 250 mm of Y-axis travel, and the second spindle lets a shop pass the part off and finish it complete in one chucking, all under a Fanuc 31i control. Nakamura-Tome positions the NTRX-300 in its turn-mill multitasking range, with a longer-bed NTRX-300L offered for longer shaft work, which makes the standard 300 the done-in-one choice for precision machining shops, aerospace component manufacturers, and medical device manufacturers running mid-size turned-and-milled parts that need full five-axis capability without a separate machining center beside the lathe. At auction, a well-maintained NTRX-300 with its tooling, workholding, and service records draws strong interest from KD Auctions' network of 500,000+ industry contacts, because a working B-axis, twin-spindle platform replaces several single-purpose machines on the shop floor.

What is a used Nakamura-Tome NTRX-300 worth at auction?
Resale value depends on age, spindle hours, the condition of the B-axis milling spindle and the sub-spindle, the Fanuc control generation, the tooling and workholding package, and overall condition, so there is no single figure that applies to every machine. KD Auctions provides a free AMEA-accredited, USPAP-compliant appraisal that documents both orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV) for your specific NTRX-300, giving you a defensible number before you decide how to sell.
Who buys a used Nakamura-Tome NTRX-300, and how do I sell one?
Buyers are typically precision machining shops, aerospace and medical device manufacturers, and job shops that want to eliminate secondary operations, since the NTRX-300's opposing twin spindles and B-axis milling spindle finish a part complete in a single setup. Nakamura-Tome also offers a longer-bed NTRX-300L for longer shaft work, so a shop weighing which machine fits should match the model to its actual part envelope rather than pay for reach it will not use. To sell your NTRX-300, call KD Auctions at 480.455.3910. 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 handled within 48 to 72 hours.
