Used Pama Horizontal Boring Mills for Sale 8

Pama sits at the top of the boring mill hierarchy with Waldrich and Ingersoll, and its used machines behave accordingly: supply is thin, prices run well above the Czech value benchmarks, and buyers are typically established heavy-machining businesses replacing capacity or stepping up in accuracy rather than entering the trade. What the premium buys is engineering, with hydrostatic guideways on Speedram machines carrying heavy rams without metal contact, thermal compensation systems, and milling power that turns a boring mill into a genuine heavy machining centre.

The used decision against alternatives is a value equation with honest terms: a used TOS or Skoda delivers capacity per euro, a used Pama delivers accuracy retention and metal removal per hour. For work like mining equipment frames, turbine components, and large gearboxes, where bore alignment tolerances and milling productivity both pay, the Italian machine can justify a multiple of the Czech price. Most used Pamas carry Siemens 840D controls and often come with attached rotary tables and milling head sets that materially extend capability.

Buying a used Pama horizontal boring mills: what to check

Hydrostatic system condition is the machine's core: verify pump and pressure documentation, check for oil contamination history, and ask for the geometric survey that serious sellers of this class provide, with laser measurement of ram droop compensation and column alignment. Test the spindle and ram through full extension under power.

Inventory attachments meticulously, since milling heads, angle heads, and facing heads represent six-figure replacement value, and confirm each head's service history. Verify rotary table accuracy and load documentation, review the control with machine data and compensation tables transferring, and plan foundation engineering seriously, as these machines demand engineered installations. Factor professional dismantling by heavy-machinery specialists into the total cost.
