Key Purchasing Considerations for Used Woodworking Machinery

• Motor Condition: Check for signs of wear, listen for unusual bearing noises, and ensure the power rating (HP/kW) and phase (single or three-phase) match your workshop's electrical supply.
• Accuracy and Alignment: For machines like table saws, jointers, and planers, verify the precision of fences, blades, and tables. Check for flatness and ensure all adjustments are smooth and lock securely.
• Safety Features: Ensure all original guards, emergency stops, and safety mechanisms are present and fully functional. Never operate a machine with missing or disabled safety features.

Frequently Asked Questions About Woodworking Machinery

What should I look for in a used edgebander?

In a used edgebander, check the condition of the glue pot and application roller. Verify that all trimming, scraping, and buffing units are functional and properly aligned. It's crucial to see the machine run a test panel to check the quality of the finished edge, looking for a clean glue line and smooth, flush edges.

How can I test the accuracy of a used table saw?

Use a quality combination square to check that the blade is 90 degrees to the table when set to 0 degrees. Then, check that the blade is parallel to the miter slots. Finally, ensure the fence is parallel to the blade. Any misalignment can result in inaccurate and unsafe cuts.
