New and Used Machine Tools, CNC Machines, Milling Machines, Sheet Metal & Fabrication Machines

TPH Machine Tools has been trading in the UK, since 1923 first selling new tools and then in later years concentrating on the importation of new CNC Lathes, VMC and CNC Bed Mills along with other CNC Machines. This was in addition to holding comprehensive stocks of used machine tools and including many used lathes, Used Milling Machines and Used Sheet Metal and Fabrication Machines.

Our business has seen many changes over the years, from the early days when even motors were optional extras! Compare this to the 'state of the art' new machine tools that are currently in our range, and it is a totally different world. Machines change but our positive attitude to business remains the same.

We pride ourselves on offering a complete service and being a 'one stop shop' for all types of metalworking, sheet metal, and fabrication, new & used machine tools, second hand lathes for sale as well as used CNC machine tools and milling machines. This service also includes on-site mechanical and electronic repairs, including maintenance prevention. In recent times, we have focused on extending the new Powercentre CNC range, which now has a complete portfolio of products, ranging from CNC lathes for sale through to CNC machines & vertical machining centres with over 3000mm movement. All are offered at extremely competitive prices. We have one of largest stocks of new and used CNC machine tools in the UK. We welcome customers that wish to part exchange machines. This is a popular method of replacing machines by trading in your surplus manual and CNC machine tools, including cnc machines and using the value to offset the cost of the replacement and to minimise any loss of production.

In 2005, we were delighted to be appointed the Southern Distributor of Chester Machine Tools, whose extensive range of conventional new machines represent excellent value for money. This range of manual machines compliments our cnc machines and turning machines. The Chester range of Lathes for sale is quite extensive and very good quality so represents superb value for money. Another important product range is the 'Quick' Knurling Tools and Wheels, which offer the best knurling equipment on the market with Knurling Tools to handle most materials including plastic with its cutting technique. TPH has worked hard at developing contacts with export customers, and now has business partners throughout the world. We continue in the quest to find new friends from overseas for long lasting business relationships. Our facilities include overhead & mobile cranes capable of lifting over 20 tons so we are ideally equipped to supply new & used machine tools and second hand lathes and milling machines for export, as well as a host of manual machines, which we keep in our Showrooms in Rainham, Essex UK, near to London and convenient to airports, underground and main line train stations.
