Machine Tool Exchange has been in the business of buying and selling good quality new and used sheet metal and fabrication machines tools in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Mozambique for over forty years. The benefit to our clients, of our years of experience in this industry, is that they receive qualified input and advice whether buying or selling machines. We pride ourselves on partnering with our clients so that we understand their business needs and can offer them the best machinery for their particular requirements. Both these hydraulic and mechanical machines are used to bend sheet metal and steel plates into different angles. Mechanical press brakes are predominantly used in the manufacture of door and window frames because they are geared and therefore quicker in production. More recently the trend has been towards hydraulic bending machines. These are activated by two synchronised hydraulic cylinders, one above each end of the beam. These can be repeated as and when the job is repeated. The control can also be programmed to a back stop which is used to position a piece of sheet metal over the bottom die in order to make an accurate bend. A centre lathe is a machine tool that rotates a piece of steel to create various cylindrical shapes, this work is known as facing and turning. We Buy Used Machinery Machine Tool Exchange has been in the business of buying and selling new and used metalworking machinery for more than 40 years. It is simply your assurance that the machine you are buying is of the high quality you expect, and that we or our partners are charging a fair price for it and the guarantee that comes with it. It also means you can inspect the machine and put our claim to the test. Our reputation and good standing over decades invested in a machine that will give you good service for years. We can afford to give you the service you deserve because we have charged a fair price for a good machine and have fewer breakdowns to attend to. The RQRP initiative is lead by a group of machine tool dealers who import machines both from Europe and China and maintain a steadfast commitment to quality and reputation in the face of cheap imports and continued price erosion. That expensive and beautifully made phone you might have is an example of this. Machine tool dealers who have long histories and good reputations have been buying machines they have helped design and improve, from factories in China for decades. These dealers work hard to keep their local reputations intact with good, high quality machinery and after sales service.
