Lathe, Mill & CNC Machine Financing
Metal Fabrication, Welding & Machine Shops › Lathes, Mills & CNC Machining
Lathes, mills and CNC machining centers are the core of every machine shop and a valuable addition to any fabrication or repair shop. Since 2011, Sunset Financial Group has financed more than 150 machining tools, from toolroom lathes and knee mills to CNC turning and vertical machining centers.
Machine shops, welding and repair shops, manufacturers and construction companies finance machining equipment with us. We finance new and used machines, tooling and controls in one agreement.
Machining Equipment We Finance
CNC Machining Centers
Vertical and horizontal machining centers mill, drill and tap complex parts automatically for production and job-shop work.
CNC Turning Centers & Lathes
CNC lathes and turning centers produce shafts, bushings, fittings and round parts accurately and repeatably.
Engine & Toolroom Lathes
Manual and gap-bed lathes from 14″ x 40″ to 26″ x 120″ and up for repair, maintenance and one-off parts.
Vertical & Knee Mills
Manual and CNC knee mills with digital readouts for slotting, facing, drilling and general machining.
Grinders & Drill Presses
Surface, rotary and tool grinders, radial arm and magnetic drills, and honing machines.
CNC Retrofits & Used Machines
New CNC controls for older machines and proven used machines from dealers, auctions and private sellers.
What We Have Financed
Manual Machines
Lathes, mills and drill presses
Toolroom and engine lathes and knee mills for welding, repair and maintenance shops adding machining capability.
Large Lathes
Gap-bed lathes to 120 inches
Long-bed and large-swing lathes for shafts, rollers, cylinders and heavy equipment repair.
CNC Production
Turning and machining centers
New and used CNC machines for machine shops and manufacturers running repeat production work.
Machining equipment we have financed ranges from about $6,000 for a toolroom lathe to $115,000 for a CNC machining center.
Finance the Whole Setup
Tooling and accessories can cost almost as much as the machine. These can all be included in the same agreement:
- Chucks, collets, vises and workholding
- Cutting tools, tool holders and tool presetters
- Digital readouts and CNC controls
- Bar feeders, chip conveyors and coolant systems
- CAD/CAM software
- Freight, rigging and installation
Why Shops Add Machining Equipment
Bring Machined Parts In-House
Fabrication and repair shops that send out machining save time and money by turning and milling their own parts.
Move From Manual to CNC
A CNC machine runs repeat parts with less operator time, helping shops take on production work with the same crew.
Keep Equipment Running
Construction companies, farms and fleets with their own lathe and mill fix and fabricate parts the same day instead of waiting on a machine shop.
Recently Financed
Used CNC Turning Center
A machine shop financed a used CNC turning center to add production turning capacity.
Two Lathes for a Manufacturer
A manufacturer added a new 22″ x 60″ gap-bed lathe and a used toolroom lathe in a single agreement.
Lathe, Mill and Roll Bender
A residential construction company financed a used lathe, a new vertical milling machine and an angle roll bender together.
Machine tool makers we have financed include Acra, Birmingham, Cincinnati, GMC, Grizzly, Haas, Jet, Knuth, Matsuura, Mazak and Webb.
