Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you specialize in tooling and fixture auctions?
Yes, we have experience with complete tooling operations including cutting tools, workholding, fixtures, gages, and inspection equipment. Tooling auctions attract buyers from job shops, tooling distributors, and secondary market dealers.
How do you catalog large tooling inventories?
Large tooling inventories are cataloged by type, brand, size, and condition with photography. We work with the client to organize tooling into logical lots that attract the right buyers: individual items for high-value pieces, bulk lots for commodity tooling.
Can you sell proprietary fixtures and customer-owned tooling?
Customer-owned tooling must be identified and separated prior to auction. It is not available for sale. Proprietary fixtures may require customer authorization. We work with clients to identify ownership and disposition requirements before cataloging.
What recovery can I expect for tooling?
Recovery varies significantly by tooling type. New or near-new carbide cutting tools, precision gaging, and branded workholding typically recover well. Obsolete or worn tooling recovers less. We'll give you an honest pre-auction assessment.
Do you auction coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and inspection equipment?
Yes, CMMs, vision systems, and precision inspection equipment attract strong buyer interest from quality-focused job shops and OEM suppliers. Brand, age, software version, and calibration status significantly affect value.
