Frequently Asked Questions about used Honing Machines
What is a honing machine and what is it used for?
A honing machine is a precision finishing machine that uses oscillating honing tools to achieve very high surface quality and dimensional accuracy in bores. It is typically used in automotive, hydraulic and cylinder manufacturing, for example for engine blocks, cylinder liners or hydraulic cylinders. At Asset-Trade you can find used honing machines from brands such as SUNNEN and NAGEL, suitable for workshops and series production.
How do I choose the right used honing machine for my shop?
The key factors are the workpiece dimensions you need to process, the desired honing method and the required spindle or stroke capacity. You should also check whether suitable tooling and honing stones are available and whether the machine fits your production environment. Asset-Trade supports you with a dedicated project manager through the 7-step purchase process and offers a free machine appraisal.
How much does a used honing machine cost?
The price depends on the year of construction, equipment, condition and manufacturer; we only provide concrete figures after an individual appraisal. In general, used honing machines are typically 40–70% cheaper than comparable new machines. Asset-Trade offers a free machine appraisal and transparent quotes.
How can I check the condition of a used honing machine before buying?
Asset-Trade carries out a multi-stage inspection with functional tests, checking spindle bearings, tool holders and the control system, among other things. On request, an on-site inspection and demonstration is possible so you can see the machine under real conditions. A dedicated project manager answers your questions and provides all inspection reports.
Does Asset-Trade ship honing machines internationally?
Yes, Asset-Trade organises worldwide shipping and export of used honing machines, including customs and loading documentation. A dedicated project manager coordinates the entire process from quotation to delivery. This way, you receive the machine safely at your location, regardless of the country.
What are typical mistakes when buying a used honing machine?
Common mistakes include ignoring spindle wear, missing suitable honing tools and underestimating the required infrastructure such as coolant supply and extraction. The availability of spare parts for exotic brands is also often overlooked. Asset-Trade minimises these risks through a multi-stage inspection with functional tests and honest advice on alternatives such as new machines or other fine-finishing processes.
