Used Toyoda FH400: Sell or Buy at Auction
Toyoda (JTEKT) is a Japanese precision machine tool and grinding machine manufacturer with a long heritage in automotive and aerospace manufacturing. Toyoda horizontal machining centers and cylindrical grinding machines are workhorses in high-volume production environments: known for rigidity, thermal stability, and longevity. JTEKT Toyoda machines are common in automotive powertrain and transmission manufacturing.
The Toyoda FH400 is a compact horizontal machining center built around a 400mm x 400mm pallet and a #40 taper spindle, with a standard two-pallet automatic changer that lets an operator load one pallet while the spindle cuts on the other, keeping cycle-to-cycle idle time low. The spindle is commonly configured at 12,000 rpm, with higher-speed options available, a combination aimed at small, feature-dense parts rather than heavy stock removal. It sits at the smaller end of Toyoda's horizontal line, below larger frames like the FH500, FH630, and FH800, which makes it a common entry point for shops that want Toyoda-grade rigidity and thermal stability on smaller to mid-size parts without paying for a bigger workpiece envelope they will not fill. Automotive powertrain and transmission component manufacturers gravitate to the FH400 for exactly that reason: high-repetition families of small to mid-size parts where pallet-to-pallet spindle utilization matters more than raw table capacity, and where Toyoda's reputation for holding geometry over a long service life pays off on a used machine. KD Auctions reaches a network of 500,000+ industry contacts, most often production machining shops already running Toyoda or comparable Japanese horizontal platforms that want a proven, lower-cost unit instead of new capital equipment, and a complete FH400 with its pallets, tooling, and fixturing intact typically draws the strongest bidding.

What is a used Toyoda FH400 worth at auction?
There is no single figure that fits every FH400. Value depends on the machine's age, hours, overall condition, the control package, and what tooling and fixturing come with it. KD Auctions provides a free AMEA-accredited, USPAP-compliant appraisal that documents both orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV), so you have a defensible range for your specific machine before you decide how and when to sell.
How does the FH400 differ from Toyoda's other horizontal machining centers, and who buys it?
The FH400 runs a 400mm pallet, smaller than machines like the FH500, FH630, and FH800, so it is built for high-repetition production of small to mid-size parts rather than heavy cutting on large workpieces. That profile draws automotive powertrain and transmission manufacturers along with other high-volume machining shops. To sell one, call KD Auctions at 480.455.3910. A managed auction typically runs 6 to 10 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.
