Cincinnati Monoset Tool and Cutter Grinder

[JohnnyJohnsoninWI]

This Monoset tool and cutter grinder was purchased from Triple R Design in April 2022 and only has 40 hours on it since they rebuilt it. Triple-R was the only Monoset rebuilding specialist in the country that I am aware of and this is one of the very last machines rebuilt by them prior to their retirement at the end of 2022. It is as fresh a machine as you will ever find.

If you know your Monosets, you'll see that I have made a few modifications to the machine so that I can grind internal radii on 6"-diameter punches for my customer. No bridges have been burned and this grinder will be returned to its completely original condition upon sale. That is unless you want to grind punches for a canning factory.

Asking $37,500

Thats a really nice looking Monoset. I'd stretch my budget for one that nice, but I can't stretch it nearly that far.

Price dropped to $35,000. If they were available, a freshly rebuilt Monoset would run north of $42K.

Nice machine, lots of tooling. Actually great.
But the price. Ouch.

The owner of Triple R passed away about 3 months ago. :-(

I used to rebuild Monosets for Kurt Mfg in Minneapolis and I figured 600 hours for the job. At today's price. A rebuilt machine would be $60,000.00. So $30,000.00 is a deal.

Hi Richard,
Yes, I was sorry to hear that Doug passed away last Spring. I enjoyed the opportunity to meet him and his wife Janet when I picked up the Monoset in 2022 and they were the nicest people.

What is the payback on this machine?
Yes I get that it is super nice.
ROI. 35K. At best this will run $60-80 per hour. Minus expendables and labor.
It is great and would love to have it but..
On the other hand this is the cost for such and it does makes sense.

CB, what is the market for this machine in today's cutter grinding world? Given today's interest rates, it needs to return 1/4 -1/3 or so of purchase price per year just for machine usage. What would you have to pay a man who could make it sing (if even available)?
