What to Consider When Buying Used Fabricating Equipment

Used fabricating equipment covers a broad range of metalworking machinery — from press brakes and shears to laser cutters, plasma tables, and welding systems. Each type requires different evaluation criteria.

For press brakes, the most critical specs are tonnage capacity, bed length, and back gauge accuracy. Hydraulic press brakes from Amada, Trumpf, Accurpress, Cincinnati, and LVD offer CNC crowning, multi-axis back gauges, and programmable ram speed. Check ram repeatability (should be within +/- 0.0004"), bed deflection compensation, and hydraulic cylinder condition.

For laser cutters, evaluate laser source type (CO2 vs. fiber), wattage, cutting bed size, positioning speed, and assist gas delivery. Fiber lasers from Trumpf, Amada, Bystronic, and Mazak dominate the market for thin to mid-thickness sheet. CO2 lasers remain cost-effective for thick plate and non-metal cutting.

For shears, check blade condition, hold-down system, and gap adjustment. Power shears from Cincinnati, Accurshear, and Pacific range from light-gauge sheet to heavy plate capacities. Always verify cut straightness across the full bed length.

Fabricating Equipment Cost & Pricing Guide

Used fabricating equipment prices vary widely by type and capability:

Press Brakes: Small hydraulic press brakes (50-100 ton, 6-8') start at $10,000-$30,000. Mid-range CNC press brakes (100-250 ton, 10-12') range from $30,000-$100,000. Large production press brakes (300+ ton, 14'+) can cost $75,000-$250,000+.

Laser Cutters: Used CO2 lasers start around $25,000-$75,000 for older models. Used fiber lasers (2-4kW) range from $75,000-$250,000. High-power fiber lasers (6kW+) command $150,000-$500,000+.

Shears: Hydraulic shears range from $5,000-$50,000 depending on capacity. CNC shears with programmable back gauges add 30-50% to pricing.

Plasma Cutters: CNC plasma tables start around $10,000-$30,000 for basic units and $30,000-$150,000 for HD plasma with beveling.

Ironworkers: $3,000-$25,000 depending on tonnage and manufacturer. Contact Meadoworks at 800-323-0307 for specific pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fabricating equipment does Meadoworks carry?

We stock press brakes, shears, laser cutters, plasma cutters, punch presses, roll forming equipment, ironworkers, and welding systems from Amada, Trumpf, Bystronic, Cincinnati, Accurpress, LVD, Prima Power, Mazak, and other leading manufacturers.

What's the difference between fiber lasers and CO2 lasers?

Fiber lasers excel at cutting thin to medium gauge metals (especially reflective materials like aluminum and copper) with lower operating costs and minimal maintenance. CO2 lasers are still preferred for thick mild steel and non-metallic materials. Fiber lasers have largely become the standard for sheet metal fabrication.

How do I determine the tonnage needed for a press brake?

Press brake tonnage depends on material type, thickness, bend length, and die width. Wider V-dies require less tonnage but produce larger radii. Meadoworks can help you calculate tonnage requirements—contact us with your material specs and bend requirements.
