The DMU 50: a widely deployed 5-axis machine — and what that means for your sale
If you’re selling a DMG MORI DMU 50, you’re selling a widely deployed and well-known 5-axis machine — and that’s exactly why demand on the used market stays consistently strong. Subcontractors look to it as an entry point into 5-axis machining, moldmakers as a second machine, training institutions as a proven teaching platform.
For you as a seller, that means your DMU 50 is not a niche product waiting months for a buyer — it’s a genuinely marketable machine.

Source: listings on gebrauchtmaschinen.de, October 2026, prices excluding VAT. These are asking prices, not achieved sale prices. For ecoLine and 3rd Generation most listings state no price, so we give no range for them. The exact value of your machine depends on spindle hours, control variant, equipment and maintenance history. For details on how our valuation works, see What is my CNC machine worth?
What moves your DMU 50’s price up
- Control: Heidenhain (iTNC 530 / TNC 640) is actively sought after and has a positive effect on value.
- CELOS: DMG’s app platform (from 2013) brings a noticeable premium, because it makes Industry 4.0 integration easier for end buyers.
- 5-axis simultaneous package: a direct-drive swivel-rotary table with the simultaneous option is the single strongest selling point.
- Automation: a connected pallet store (PH series) or Robo2Go carries its own market value — we assess it separately.
- Coolant-through-tool, extended magazine, touch probe: every factory-fitted option shortens the buyer’s path to production readiness — and adds to your price.

How the sale works
The process is the same as for any DMG MORI acquisition: send us the nameplate, a control photo, the hour counter and a few exterior shots. You’ll have an initial assessment. If the range works for you, an offer follows — payment is arranged before pickup, and we organize disassembly and transport. See the full process at How it works.
Selling several machines, or a complete machining center portfolio? We’ll value the package together — often with a better overall result than selling individually.
