Used drilling machines cover a wide range, from pillar drills and bench drills through radial-arm drills and CNC drilling machines. Buyers focus on throat depth, spindle taper, table size, drilling capacity, feed options, condition, and whether the machine suits maintenance, fabrication or production work. The split between small workshop drills and heavier industrial machines is the main thing to get right at valuation.
Charter assesses individual drills or includes them in a wider toolroom or fabrication package. Send photos, manufacturer details, capacity, electrical info and condition notes. A specialist comes back within two working days with a valuation and a recommendation on the right route: direct purchase, buyer match, or managed sale. 0% sellers fees on every route.

Drilling Machines — sellers ask
- How much is my used drilling machine worth?
- Depends on the type of drill, manufacturer, size, spindle taper, table arrangement, drilling capacity, feed options and condition. A large radial arm drill values very differently from a smaller pillar drill, so clear capacity details matter. Send the spec and Charter responds within two working days.
- What drilling machine manufacturers does Charter handle?
- Meddings, Asquith, Kitchen & Walker, Erlo, Arboga and similar industrial brands. Demand depends on capacity, condition, power supply, guarding and whether the machine is complete and ready to use. Industrial-grade drills find buyers; small hobby-grade kit is harder to place at a fair price.
- Can Charter sell radial arm drills?
- Yes. Radial arm drills still attract buyers in fabrication, maintenance and repair environments. Charter reviews arm length, drilling capacity, spindle taper, feeds, table arrangement, condition and site access before advising on the route. Larger radial arm drills usually warrant separate marketing rather than being packaged in.
- Can drilling machines be sold as part of a workshop clearance?
- Yes. Smaller drilling machines often perform best as part of a wider toolroom or fabrication package, while larger radial arm or CNC drilling machines justify separate attention. Charter advises how to group assets based on likely demand and your timeline.
