Buying a used Pinacho parallel lathe: what to check

A thorough pre-purchase inspection is essential. For Pinacho machines, focus on the fundamentals: bed condition, gearbox operation, and spindle health. Run the lathe through all spindle speeds and test gearbox engagement smoothness. Inspect the bed visually for the wear pattern that concentrates within 30-50 cm of the headstock where most turning happens.

Test the apron and lead screw engagement for both feeds and threading. Check the tailstock quill for play and alignment with the spindle centerline. Request any service history available — Pinacho machines often pass through multiple workshops, and knowing what work has been done helps you assess remaining service life.

Transport for Pinacho lathes within Europe is straightforward. Confirm electrical requirements (typically 380V three-phase) and machine weight for rigging planning. On Exapro, each Pinacho listing provides specifications, photos, and direct seller contact. Pinacho listings on the secondary market typically refresh weekly across European inventories, so checking back regularly is worthwhile if you have a specific configuration in mind. Compare multiple listings to evaluate condition, accessories, gear range, and overall value for your specific workshop and maintenance turning needs.
