Used Broach Machines
Reimagined Machines. Reclaimed Value.
In manufacturing, there’s something sacred about breathing new life into a piece of precision equipment. At Crankshaft, we don’t just flip used broach machines, we transform them. Our in-house inventory isn’t listed for immediate sale because it’s not plug-and-play. It’s a foundation – designed to be rebuilt into something precise, powerful, and built around you.
Not Used. Reusable. Redeemable. Remarkable.
While other shops unload “as-is” machines by the truckload, we believe in engineering stories worth retelling. Every machine at Crankshaft has a history—and a future. You bring the challenge. We’ll bring the craftsmanship.
A Different Take on Used Equipment
Why don’t we have a warehouse full of refurbished broach machines for sale today?
Because we don’t believe in guessing what you need.
We house a select group of legacy broaching machines—machines that once powered production lines at peak performance. With your specs, we restore them as projects with precision updates, retrofits, and retooling engineered around your unique application.
What We Offer: More Than Metal
⚙️ Project-Based Machine Restoration
Every machine is rebuilt-to-order based on your specific needs and application:
-
Re-machined ways, rams, and tables
-
Full hydraulic system overhaul with upgraded seals, valves, and pumps
-
Brand-new electrical panels—Allen-Bradley or your preferred OEM
-
CNC or servo conversions for modern automation
-
Custom tooling packages designed in tandem with the machine
🛠️ “You don’t just buy steel and wires—you buy capability.”
💡 Application-Focused Engineering
Rather than ask, “What’s available?” we ask, “What do you make?”
-
Aerospace fir-tree slots
-
Automotive gear hubs and crankshafts
-
Industrial tooling and custom profiles
We evaluate your tolerances, volumes, and material hardness to design a solution that’s less about what’s on our floor and more about what fits your future.
🔍 Transparency Through Every Tooth
We document the rebuild journey with full mechanical reports, before/after photography, and operator walk-throughs. When your reimagined machine ships, it’s not a mystery, it’s a milestone.
The Four Pathways to Precision
Inspired by industry standards, customized by Crankshaft:
1. Full Rebuild (Project-Based Turnkey Solution)
Ideal for OEMs and high-precision shops. Complete mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical rebuild with full tooling integration and automation options. 2-year performance warranty.
2. Partial Recondition (Collaborative Retrofit)
We bring the bones back to life, restoring core components, updating systems, and leaving room for you to finish the final stretch. A cost-effective bridge between “as-is” and “like-new.”
3. Cycled + Quoted (Diagnostics First)
We run the machine in-house, evaluate its condition, and provide a detailed roadmap of what it would take to bring it up to spec for your application.
4. As-Is, With Eyes Wide Open
For the scrappy engineering teams who want a starting point. Sold as received—with full transparency and a 30-day return policy.
Why Crankshaft?
Because value doesn’t come from price tags, it comes from potential.
Our rebuilds aren’t mass-market. They’re one-of-a-kind collaborations. We don’t just restore broaching machines, we help manufacturers reclaim control over their production, cost, and timelines.
Is It Time to Turn the Page?
Whether you’re ready to tackle a rebuild or just want to explore what’s possible, our team is ready to roll up our sleeves. Let’s talk about your specs, your timeline, and what kind of story we can write—together. For cutting performance that matches your rebuilt machine, explore our custom broach tooling options, engineered in-house for maximum compatibility and cutting edge consistency.
