In-Stock CNC Machines, Competitive Pricing — Get a Custom Quote Today

Buying a CNC machine is a significant capital investment, and understanding what drives the cost — machine type, configuration, axes, control system, automation — is half the battle before you ever request a quote.

But purchase price is only part of the equation.

Absolute Machine Tools offers experienced applications engineers to help you match the right machine to your application before you buy, 150+ machines in U.S. stock for fast delivery after your purchase, and preventive maintenance programs and nearly $20 million in spare parts inventory to protect your uptime for years to come.

For over 35 years, manufacturers across North America have relied on Absolute to make smart capital equipment decisions — from first quote to final installation.

Why don’t you list prices on your website?

CNC machine tools aren’t shelf products; they’re configured to your application. The same machine model can vary significantly in price depending on spindle configuration, control system, tooling package, workholding, coolant options, and automation integration. A price listed without that context would either mislead you or anchor you to a number that doesn’t reflect what you actually need. We’d rather give you an accurate number fast than a ballpark that wastes your time.

What factors have the biggest impact on price?

For most machine categories, these are the primary cost drivers:

• Machine size and capacity — travel, swing diameter, bar capacity, table load
• Axes and configuration — 3-axis vs. 5-axis, single vs. dual spindle, sub-spindle, Y-axis, live tooling
• Control system — Fanuc, Mitsubishi, Siemens, and specific control generations vary in cost
• Spindle specs — RPM, taper (BT40, BT50, HSK), horsepower, and gearbox vs. direct drive
• Automation readiness — pallet changers, bar feeders, robot interfaces, part probing
• Tooling and workholding — what’s included at base price vs. quoted separately
• Delivery and installation — rigging, site prep, and commissioning

For specialty categories like Swiss lathes, EDM, and deep hole drilling machines, application-specific factors — hole depth-to-diameter ratio, part material, required surface finish, production volume — also significantly influence which machine and configuration is right for your shop.

What’s typically included in the quoted price, and what costs extra?

Base machine pricing from Absolute Machine Tools generally includes the machine, standard tooling package, control system, and standard accessories as listed in the spec sheet. Items that are typically quoted separately include:

• Bar feeders and part handling automation
• Expanded tool magazines or ATC upgrades
• High-pressure coolant systems above standard
• Custom workholding and fixturing
• Extended warranty or preventive maintenance programs
• Rigging, installation, and applications training

We’re transparent about this upfront so there are no surprises when your quote arrives.

How do I get a useful quote quickly?

The more context you give us, the faster and more accurate your quote will be. If you can tell us the type of machine you’re looking for, your part material and size range, approximate production volume, and any specific control or automation requirements, we can typically turn around a detailed quote within one business day.
