Machine tooling, workholding and metrology: auction prices
We have recorded 44 auction sales with a price of 298 models by 172 makes in this category, and 298 lots are at auction now. Pick a make, or a model below.
This category covers the loose tooling, workholding and measuring equipment that supports machine shops rather than the machines themselves, including inserts, cutters, drills, collets, vices, chucks, dividing heads, saw blades, calipers, gauges, measuring machines and hardness testers. Mitutoyo and Tesa dominate precision measuring instruments such as calipers, micrometers and height gauges, while Fluke covers electrical test meters used for maintenance work. Wila is known for press brake tooling, and names like Soldatech, Krone and Topcon appear across welding, electrical testing and surveying or optical instruments. Buyers in this space are workshops, toolmakers and fabricators equipping or restocking machines rather than buying a single capital asset.
