Frequently Asked Questions about used Deep Hole Drilling Machines
What is a deep hole drilling machine and what is it used for?
A deep hole drilling machine produces bores with a very high depth-to-diameter ratio and is used for hydraulic components, moulds, tooling and parts with internal oil or cooling channels. Depending on the process, such as single-lip drilling, BTA or ejector drilling, it machines steel, cast iron, aluminium and difficult-to-cut alloys. Used deep hole drilling machines from makers like TBT, TIBO and MOLLART are a cost-effective option for shops that need to add this capability quickly.
How do I choose the right used deep hole drilling machine?
Start with the required drilling process, the maximum bore diameter and the achievable drilling depth, then match these to your materials and batch sizes. Check the condition of the spindle, guideways, coolant supply and control system, because these determine the bore quality you can achieve. Asset-Trade supports the selection with a free machine appraisal and helps align the machine with your parts and processes.
How much does a used deep hole drilling machine cost compared to a new one?
Used deep hole drilling machines typically sell at 40 to 70 percent below the price of comparable new machines, with the actual price depending on age, equipment, condition and automation level. A blanket price cannot be given because every machine is assessed individually. Asset-Trade provides a free appraisal of the machine value and quotes concrete terms for the deep hole drilling machines on offer.
How is the condition of a used deep hole drilling machine checked?
Asset-Trade inspects every machine in a multi-stage process that includes visual checks, geometric checks and functional tests under realistic conditions. You can also inspect the deep hole drilling machine on site and run tests with your own workpieces. Spindle, guideways, coolant and control systems are specifically examined, and an appraisal can be arranged free of charge.
How are shipping and export of a used deep hole drilling machine handled?
Asset-Trade arranges worldwide shipping and export, including loading, transport and customs formalities. A dedicated project manager accompanies the whole process from quotation and collection to arrival at the destination. The machine can be demonstrated and shown running on site before purchase so you can assess its condition yourself.
What alternatives and typical mistakes should I consider when buying a used deep hole drilling machine?
Alternatives include new machines, other deep hole methods such as deep hole drilling on machining centres, or outsourcing to subcontractors; used deep hole drilling machines usually provide the fastest capacity increase at lower cost. Common mistakes are checking the spindle and coolant supply too briefly, ignoring the required depth and diameter range, and skipping a demonstration with your own parts. Use Asset-Trade's free appraisal and 7-step purchase process to avoid these risks.
