Reiden Technik AG is one of the last Swiss machine-tool builders operating at the absolute top of the quality range — a company that builds milling and drilling machines for customers who accept no compromise on accuracy and longevity.

On the used market, Reiden is one of the few brands where even 20-year-old machines can still command a remarkably high share of their original price. Selling a Reiden means having something special in hand.

The Reiden range: lines and characteristics

Older Reiden universal milling machines — conventional and early-CNC

Reiden has been building milling machines since 1948; older machines come conventional or with an early CNC control. A hardened, hand-scraped guideway system, machine bed cast from long-aged cast iron. These machines have run in workshops for 30-40 years without a fundamental overhaul.

RX10 — universal CNC, the core of the range

The RX10 is the most compact 5-axis CNC center in the line and the one most commonly found on the used market (which is relative — overall they’re rare). Swivel-rotary table (A/C-axis), Heidenhain TNC, more compact table area than RX14/RX18. Typical buyers: precision machinery manufacturers, research institutes, demanding special-purpose machine builders.

RX14 — 5-axis center with a large rotary table

The RX14 is the second largest of the four current sizes (RX10, RX12, RX14, RX18): rotary table ø 1,400 × 1,200 mm as standard, optionally up to ø 1,800 × 1,400 mm, pallet loads up to 4,500 kg, X/Y travel of 1,800 mm, Z travel of 1,210 mm. Current series run with Heidenhain TNC7 or Siemens Sinumerik One; used machines from the current market mostly carry TNC 640 or iTNC 530. A recently traded RX14 of ours (2014, TNC 640, 92 tool positions) shows the typical spec for this size class. Read the dedicated model guide: Sell Reiden RX14.

RX18 — large format for heavy parts

The RX18 is Reiden’s most powerful model: rotary table up to ø 1,800 × 1,400 mm, X/Y travel of 2,200 mm, Z travel of 1,610 mm, maximum rigidity for heavy fixtures. Rare on the market — when one appears, it moves fast. Buyers: large-format moldmaking, aerospace component manufacturing, toolmaking for heavy stamping dies.

Price finding (as of October 2026)

We have no reliable public price range for Reiden machines: used Reidens are rarely advertised with a price. A current listing on gebrauchtmaschinen.de gives €315,000 plus VAT (negotiable) for an RX10-5X (2016); that is a single asking price and not a market price. The value is determined by the series (RX10, RX14, RX18 or an older universal milling machine), build year, Heidenhain control version, milling-head set, magazine configuration, and spindle condition.

What determines the price of a Reiden

Spindle condition: the Reiden milling spindle is built for extreme accuracy. A runout test report (< 2 µm on good machines) is a strong selling point. Spindle damage on a Reiden is rare — but when it occurs, replacement is considerably more expensive than with mass-market builders.

Milling-head set: many Reiden machines ship with several milling heads (90° angle head, universal head, extensions). The more complete the set, the higher the price — missing heads significantly limit what the buyer can do with the machine.

Heidenhain control version: TNC 640 with integrated dynamic collision monitoring (DCM) usually achieves a higher price. The iTNC 530 is solid and in demand. Older Heidenhain versions (TNC 426, TNC 360) are technically reliable but priced lower.

Geometry check: a current Reiden-specific accuracy acceptance report (measured to DIN/ISO 230-1) is especially valuable for high-end Swiss machines.

Maintenance history: Reiden recommends regular oil and lubricant changes as well as periodic spindle checks. Documentation significantly boosts an informed buyer’s confidence.

A well-preserved Reiden RX10 is rarely found on the used market — whoever owns one has a sought-after asset in hand.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is my Reiden RX18 worth?

We have no reliable public price range for the Reiden RX18, because used Reiden machines are rarely advertised with a price. The RX18 is Reiden's largest universal mill-drill center — very rare on the market, very high demand from buyers who know Reiden quality. Spindle condition, the Heidenhain control version, the available heads (milling-head set), and the tool magazine are decisive.

Who buys Reiden machines?

Reiden machines are bought by operations that need the highest precision and durability over decades: tool and moldmaking for luxury goods, watchmaking (Switzerland, Germany), medical device manufacturing, aerospace, research institutes, and technical universities. Buyers come from Germany, Switzerland, Scandinavia, and North America.

Do you also buy old Reiden machines from the 1980s and 1990s?

Yes. Older Reiden milling machines from the 1980s — mechanically in good condition, conventional or early-CNC — still have an active market. Machines from this era are valued by operations that combine conventional milling with high precision without wanting to build up complex CNC infrastructure. We inspect and make an honest offer.

What makes Reiden machines so valuable on the used market?

Three factors: first, the mechanical build quality — Reiden builds its machine bed from high-grade cast iron with very long aging cycles, and the guideways are hardened and precision-ground. Second, precision: Reiden machines hold accuracies of 2-3 µm even after 20 years of operation when well maintained. Third, rarity: Reiden builds a small number of units each year — they rarely appear on the used market, which keeps prices stable.

Which Reiden models do you buy?

We buy Reiden machines of the RX10 (most compact 5-axis CNC center), RX12, RX14 (rotary table ø 1,400 × 1,200 mm as standard, optionally up to ø 1,800 × 1,400 mm) and RX18 (largest model, X/Y travel of 2,200 mm) series.

Are there Reiden machines outside Switzerland, for example in Germany?

Yes, though rarely. Reiden has supplied German customers for decades as well — toolmaking operations, technical universities for manufacturing engineering, research institutes, and suppliers to the luxury goods industry. They appear irregularly on the German used market but achieve correspondingly high prices.

How does the RX10 differ from the RX14 and RX18?

The RX10 is the most compact 5-axis CNC center in the line — smaller rotary table, shorter travel, ideal for precision parts in watchmaking and medical technology. The RX14 is the second largest of the four sizes: rotary table ø 1,400 × 1,200 mm as standard, optionally up to ø 1,800 × 1,400 mm, pallet loads up to 4,500 kg, X/Y travel of 1,800 mm. The RX18 is the large model for heavy parts (X/Y travel of 2,200 mm) and larger workpieces from mold- and fixture-making.

How long does it take to sell a Reiden?

Reiden is a niche product — the pool of buyers is smaller than for standard brands, but willingness to pay is significantly higher. Marketing often takes longer than for common machines as a result. We pay you immediately once we agree — we carry the marketing risk.

What should I have ready for the valuation?

Model, build year, control version (Heidenhain TNC), spindle hours (main and auxiliary spindle), available milling heads (type and count), tool magazine size, last service/geometry check, and three to five photos. Especially important: whether all milling heads are included and functioning correctly.

Is there international demand for Reiden machines?

Yes — Reiden has an exceptional reputation in Swiss watchmaking, in Nordic countries, and in North America. Reiden machines sourced from Germany see corresponding international buyer interest. Export is often the better route here.
