CNC Multi-Tasking Lathes
Used Nakamura-Tome WT-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 WT-300 is a twin-spindle, twin-turret CNC multi-tasking lathe built for done-in-one production of complex turned and milled parts. Opposing main and sub spindles work alongside two independently programmable turrets, each a 12-station turret carrying live tooling with Y-axis travel, so the machine turns, mills, drills, and taps in a single setup. The twin-turret layout lets both turrets cut at the same time: one can rough or turn the main-spindle work while the other finishes features or machines the back face after the part transfers to the sub-spindle, which collapses cycle time on components that would otherwise need a separate lathe and a separate mill. The WT-300 sits at the large end of Nakamura-Tome's WT series, with roughly a 10-inch main chuck, about 2.5-inch (65 mm) bar capacity, and generous daylight between the opposed spindles, so it suits shops running larger or heavier complex parts than the WT-150 and WT-250 take on. Owners tend to be precision operations in aerospace, medical, energy, and demanding job-shop work that need one machine to hold tight tolerances across turned and milled features without re-fixturing. When a WT-300 comes up for sale, KD Auctions markets it to a base of 500,000+ industry contacts who already run multi-tasking lathes, so qualified bidding tends to move quickly.

What is my Nakamura-Tome WT-300 worth at auction?
Value depends on the machine's age, spindle hours, Fanuc control generation, mechanical condition, and the tooling package that comes with it, including live tooling for both turrets, sub-spindle work-holding, and any bar feeder or parts catcher. KD Auctions provides a free AMEA-accredited, USPAP-compliant appraisal covering both orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV), so you have a documented number before you decide how to sell.
How does the WT-300 compare to the other machines in Nakamura-Tome's WT series?
The WT-300 is the largest model in Nakamura-Tome's WT twin-spindle, twin-turret line, sitting above the WT-150 and WT-250. It carries a larger main chuck, about 2.5-inch bar capacity, and more daylight between the opposed spindles, which is why it lands in shops that need done-in-one machining on larger or heavier complex parts rather than small precision work. To sell one, call KD Auctions at 480.455.3910. Managed auctions run six to ten weeks from engagement to payout, onsite dispatch is scheduled within 48 to 72 hours, and commission is tailored to the engagement and quoted upfront, with most sellers paying nothing out of pocket.
