Used Addison Equipment Sold by Meadoworks

Addison Machine Tools Ltd was founded in the United Kingdom in 1956 by Eddie Addison, and the company began producing tube bending machines in 1958. McKee Machine Tool Company, formerly known as SEMCO, was established in 1972 by Ralph McKee in Wilmington, Ohio. The two firms shared a common focus on the tube manipulation industry and initially operated as sales agents for each other before formally merging under the unified name Addison McKee in 1998. The combined company relocated to Lebanon, Ohio, and later became part of the Numalliance group in 2020, continuing to operate under the Addison McKee brand.

Addison McKee's flagship product line centers on CNC horizontal mandrel tube benders, offered in both hydraulic and all-electric configurations. The DB series — including the DB-76, DB-89, DB-120, and DB-220 — covers bending capacities from small-diameter tubing up to 8.65 inches OD, making these machines suitable for a wide range of production demands. Multi-stack and high-production variants such as the PB-42ST2 extend the lineup for automated, high-cycle environments. Addison McKee also produces the Formaster FM series of tube end forming machines and the Electriform EF series of tube end sizing machines, rounding out a comprehensive tube fabrication portfolio. The BendPro CNC control system is a common feature across many of these benders, providing programmable multi-axis motion and repeatability.

Addison McKee equipment serves a broad range of end markets. The automotive and truck industries rely heavily on these tube benders for exhaust systems, chassis components, and fluid-transfer lines. Aerospace and aviation manufacturers use Addison McKee machines for precision hydraulic and structural tubing. Additional served industries include shipbuilding, HVAC, furniture, medical device manufacturing, and sporting goods production, reflecting the versatility of the DB and FM series across materials including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and titanium.

Used Addison McKee tube benders hold strong appeal on the secondary market for several reasons. The machines are built to heavy-duty industrial standards with robust hydraulic systems and long service lives, meaning well-maintained examples from the late 1990s and 2000s remain fully productive decades after manufacture. The widespread installed base means that replacement tooling — bend dies, clamp dies, pressure dies, and wiper dies — is readily available. The BendPro control platform is well documented and supported, lowering the barrier to recontrolling or retrofitting older machines. Buyers seeking used Addison pipe benders and tube benders consistently find that the combination of precision, durability, and parts availability makes these machines a cost-effective alternative to new equipment.
