NZ Machine Tools was established in 2017 by Bill Buckley, founder of Buckley Systems Limited.
Bill’s deep, hands-on experience with high-performance machining, including operating over 40 Mazak machines in his own facility, laid the foundation for a business built on real-world results. His legacy drives our commitment to practical solutions, reliable service, and a relentless focus on productivity.
In many cases a new CNC machine will be one of the biggest ticket items you will purchase in a lifetime. I know what it is like to do this, and then having the commitment of making payments for it month after month. I also know what it's like to have a machine down and not working, and waiting for someone to show up to fix it, or waiting to get the parts from overseas.
Access to the best, globally.
We’ve partnered with leading international brands such as Mazak, Markforged and Tornos, known for reliability, innovation, and build quality. We don’t just import, we integrate, advise, and stand behind every machine we deliver.
Complete and tailored solutions, not just equipment.
We’re with you for the long haul. From initial planning and procurement to installation, training, and after-sales support, we stay involved. Your success is our benchmark.
Support that actually supports you.
Our engineers are office-based in New Zealand, factory-trained, and highly experienced. When you call us with an issue, you’ll get a rapid response – not an overseas referral or delayed responses from engineers who are busy with other jobs.
Downtime is expensive. Every hour a machine isn’t running is revenue lost and deadlines missed. Our team prioritises quick response times and preventative maintenance to catch issues before they become problems.
Advice backed by real-world use.
We combine deep technical expertise with real-world manufacturing experience. Our recommendations aren’t pulled from a brochure. We understand how downtime feels, how cycle times matter, and how every shop has its own quirks.
Whether you’re adding capacity, improving precision or modernising equipment, we’ll suggest solutions that align with your operational needs and budget.
