Aims: Machine tool remanufacturing input material, energy and Co 2 emissions are assessed to help conclude feedbacks about environmental benefits and burdens, what is necessary to enable educational institutions to conduct remanufacturing of machine tools as a business to deliver closing the loop supply chain for sustainable manufacturing. Study Design: Bridgeport manual milling machine is remanufactured within insights of new ecodesign ideas to change it into CNC vertical milling machine where machine enabled to be flexible to embed cheap emerged CNC technology. Thus enough data can be acquired to be analyzed for feasibility study. Methodology: A step by step case study of CNC machines technology introduction into conventional machine architecture is illustrated. Modules of ball screws and ball linear guide ways
