Used Woodworking Machines can help take your woodworking from hobby to business by speeding up processing and increasing accuracy and repeatability. Whether you are looking to manufacture furniture, cabinetry or smaller wood items, like cutting boards, clocks, or decorative items, there is a machine out there that can help increase your productivity.
These machines can become very expensive, especially for those starting out in the business. It is a great option to consider used equipment. Much of it can be maintained, repaired and spare parts are available. Many of the businesses below are refurbishers and provide warrantees as well.
