Used Juaristi Horizontal Boring Mills for Sale 12

The Basque machine tool cluster built its reputation on delivering serious iron at rational prices, and Juaristi's boring mills embody that positioning on the used market: machines engineered and supported to Western European standards, trading meaningfully below equivalent German or Italian borers while carrying more current technology than the Czech classics that anchor the value end. For a fabrication or energy-sector shop stepping up from a worn TOS, a used TX3 or MX-series Juaristi is frequently the natural move.

Configuration depth is the brand's practical strength, since many used units come multifunction-equipped with automatic head changing between universal and orthogonal milling heads, built-in rotary tables, and pendant or cabin controls, which converts a boring mill into a five-face machining centre for housings and frames. Heidenhain controls dominate, suiting the toolroom-style programming heavy machinists prefer. Factory support from Azkoitia remains active across old generations, and that continuity shows in how well-documented used Juaristis tend to be.

Buying a used Juaristi horizontal boring mills: what to check

Standard borer discipline applies: spindle runout, quill extension droop and play, clamping function, and axis backlash measured with an indicator, plus a rotation accuracy test on the table. On multifunction machines, cycle the head changer completely and verify each head's geometry and gearbox condition individually, since heads concentrate both value and risk.

Ask for the machine's geometric protocol and Juaristi service records, verify Heidenhain or Siemens parameter backups transfer, and check hydrostatic or lubrication systems for maintenance evidence. Inspect way surfaces and telescopic covers, confirm attachment and tooling inventories in writing, and budget professional rigging with foundation assessment for larger models. Cycle the quill feed under power across several extension lengths as well, watching servo load for signs of gib adjustment or lubrication issues. A short milling test on a scrap block settles remaining doubts better than any static measurement.
