Used Miscellaneous Woodworking Tools - To Buy Or Not to Buy?

When you begin a commercial woodworking operation, you buy the necessary tools to get your operation up and running, such as lathes, sanders, routers, etc. But as time goes on and your production capacity expands, the more woodworking tools you require, such as a corner blocking machine, hinge inserting machine and a louver groover, which can lead to spending more money on industrial wood working machines than you anticipated. If your woodworking operation is flourishing, purchasing additional machines is something that you have to do to keep it that way. But you don't have to settle for paying full price for miscellaneous woodworking machines. Instead, you can purchase used miscellaneous machines and preserve your bottom line.

If you're like most woodworkers for whom woodworking is a livelihood, the idea of purchasing used woodworking machines can cause trepidation. While getting a machine for less than full price would be great, there's nothing inviting about the notion of purchasing a machine that may or may not offer the efficiency and dependability that you need. As a result, many woodworkers avoid buying used woodworking machinery without properly investigating whether it could offer the same performance as new machinery. If this describes your machinery purchases, then it's time to examine whether you could benefit from purchasing used miscellaneous woodworking machines.

In most cases, whether to buy woodworking machinery used instead of new hinges on two factors: how much a machine costs and how well it is constructed. In the case of industrial grade machines, price can be significant, which naturally leads to shopping for used machines. But it's also important to realize that, unlike domestic grade woodworking machines and lower grade commercial machines, industrial wood working machines are designed to withstand industrial level use for decades without experiencing a depreciation in dependability or efficiency, making it possible to purchase new machine quality at a used machine price, especially when the potential quality of a used machine is properly assessed.

If you're currently in the market for industrial grade woodworking machines and would like to cut costs, following a four-step quality assessment process will lead you to dependable used woodworking machines. The first step is to only buy from professional woodworking machinery sellers (e.g. most eBay merchants are not professional sellers). Step two is to avoid sellers that have unresolved customer complaints on their record at the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Step three is to request a copy of a machine's official maintenance record to ensure that it's been regularly maintained. Step four is to conduct a firsthand assessment of the machine before buying it, or having a reliable third party conduct the assessment on your behalf.
