Used OKK KCV-800: Sell or Buy at Auction
OKK, founded as Osaka Kiko, is a Japanese machine tool builder known for heavy, box-way vertical and horizontal machining centers. It never reached the North American installed base of Haas or Mazak, but shops that run OKKs buy them again for the same reason: the castings and box ways hold up under heavy roughing and interrupted cuts. Most OKK machines on the used market carry Fanuc controls, which widens the pool of buyers willing to bid on one.
At roughly 120 inches of X travel on a table over 10 feet long, the OKK KCV-800 is a large-format VMC built for parts too big for a standard VM or VP table: big mold bases, large fixture plates, oversized job shop work. It carries a 50-taper spindle to 12,000 RPM, a 40 HP motor, and a 40-station tool changer, with a machine weight near 46,000 pounds, reflecting the heavier castings the travel envelope demands. Few shops need that footprint, so the buyer pool is narrower and more specialized. KD Auctions markets large-format machines to its 500,000+ industry contacts to reach shops actually shopping for that capacity.
Buying a Used KCV-800
Die and mold shops, heavy job shops, energy and aerospace component machining operations, and production shops that value rigidity over rapid traverse speed. International buyers, particularly from Asia and Mexico, are active on OKK machines at North American auctions.

OKK has a thinner buyer pool than the volume Japanese brands, so marketing reach decides the outcome more than it does on a Haas or a Mazak. Machines with a Fanuc control, documented spindle condition, and a full tooling package achieve the strongest results, and pallet-changer horizontals draw production shops that bid past the general job shop crowd.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a KCV-800 take a different marketing approach than a VM-4III?
Its 10-foot-plus X travel and 46,000 pound weight class mean only shops with large-part work and the floor space to match are realistic buyers, so reaching the right specialized audience matters more than volume of inquiries.
Is rigging handled when a KCV-800 sells?
Onsite dispatch is coordinated 48 to 72 hours after a sale closes. Call 480.455.3910 to discuss rigging logistics for a machine this size.
