You SAVE More Than $ When You Buy American-Made CNC Machinery
Buying a CNC machine isn’t just about the sticker price — it’s about what you gain, or lose, over the life of the machine. When your supplier is halfway around the world, even a small issue can become a big one.
Here are some key comparisons between an American-Made vs. Imported CNC Machine, and why manufacturers turn to American-made CNC machinery to keep their production moving:
- A heavy-duty, high-quality build is possible vs. a machine that must fit into an overseas container.
- By buying American, you avoid the tariffs, red tape, customs paperwork, and unexpected shipping delays.
- When facing downtime — which could be right in the middle of your busy production schedule — parts and services can be sent out ASAP rather than waiting for weeks, or even months, provided you can get a commitment to an actual date on a shipment from overseas.
- Easier live communication, without language barriers.
- Real-time problem-solving when you’re in the same or similar time zone where standard workday hours overlap and holiday schedules align.
- Readily available parts and engineering advice on the days and hours when your business is opened.
- American labor laws and manufacturing requirements are followed, ensuring fair and safe conditions and business practices.
- Helping to employ U.S. workers, supporting the American economy, and promoting American independence.
Plus, you can take advantage of incredible tax savings:
- Write Off Your Entire Purchase Price of Equipment (up to $2,500,000) on Your 2025 Tax Return.*
- Bonus Depreciation is 100% in the first year.
Deduct the full cost of qualifying new and used assets you acquire this year, rather than deprecating the cost over several years, freeing up cash for further investment. - Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit Raised from 25% to 35%.
Get a reduction in your tax liability when you invest in facilities and equipment in advanced manufacturing (semiconductors or semiconductor equipment). - R&D Tax Credit Reinstated
Take advantage of a dollar-for-dollar reduction in your tax liability when you invest in developing and using cutting-edge solutions.
* with limits on the total amount of equipment purchased for the full year. Equipment must be delivered by December 31, 2025.
