Finding secondhand woodworking machines that are in good condition is a relief if you've got a tight budget. Yet just glancing at the machines on offer isn't enough, as you likely know; you need to check them out completely. One of the issues that come with buying secondhand is that there might be things missing that you expected would be included, or parts might not be in the best condition. This will change if you're buying from a store that sells refurbished machines or from a reputable private party whose machinery you're familiar with.
