CMM Machine Auctions in Seattle, WA
Seattle's aerospace manufacturing base, centered on Boeing's Everett and Renton facilities, creates one of the largest concentrations of precision machining, composites, and aerospace tooling equipment in the country.
The AS9100 quality requirements built into Boeing's Everett and Renton supply chain have put an unusually large number of CMMs into service across the Seattle area, and that density is what feeds the market when a supplier's quality lab consolidates or closes. Bridge and gantry CMMs coming out of aerospace inspection departments here typically carry full calibration and probe documentation, which is exactly what AS9100-certified buyers around the country look for before bidding. KD Auctions markets that equipment to its full network of 500,000+ industry contacts rather than relying on a smaller pool of regional bidders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who buys CMMs at auction from the Seattle area?
AS9100-certified aerospace suppliers and precision machining shops make up the bulk of local demand, since so much of the region's manufacturing base supplies Boeing's Everett and Renton operations. KD Auctions also markets each CMM to 500,000+ industry contacts nationally, so buyers well outside the region compete for well-documented machines.
I'm closing a quality lab near Everett, can KD Auctions sell a single CMM?
Yes, KD Auctions can consign a single CMM, complete with probe systems and software documentation, into an upcoming sector-relevant auction rather than requiring a dedicated sale. Commission is tailored to the engagement, quoted upfront, and most sellers pay nothing out of pocket.
