CNC Multi-Tasking Lathes
Used Nakamura-Tome WT-150II: 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 WT-150II is a compact twin-spindle, twin-turret CNC turning center built to finish a part's front and back operations in one job. Its opposed main and sub-spindles let the sub-spindle take a workpiece directly from the main spindle for backside work, so the part comes off complete instead of being reloaded onto a second machine. What separates the WT series from a standard single-turret lathe is that its two turrets can cut at the same time: both can work the main spindle to balance the load and shorten the cycle, or split between the main and sub-spindle to run separate operations in parallel. With live tooling and spindle C-axis positioning, the machine adds milling, drilling, and cross-drilling to conventional OD and ID turning in the same setup, all under a Fanuc-based control. Precision shops making medical, aerospace, and fluid power components favor this class of machine because the done-in-one approach removes the handoffs and re-fixturing that erode margin on complex turned parts. Exact tooling, control generation, and condition vary from one used WT-150II to the next, which is what serious bidders scrutinize most. When one comes to auction, KD Auctions markets it to a base of 500,000+ industry contacts who know what a twin-spindle, twin-turret machine is worth, and units offered with their tooling package, fixtures, and maintenance records tend to draw the strongest interest from domestic and international bidders.
