Hello all from California. Hope you're all doing well in these tough times.
So aside from local options like Craigslist, where do you all like to shop/scout for used machinery? I've been looking for an old-iron jointer and planer for a while now. Almost pulled the trigger on a used Northfield 12" HD Jointer and their 25" Planer...but I hesitated and then...they were gone. Looking for something in a working state that I could use in my shop (single phase, 100 amp sub panel) and possibly 'upgrade' it to a helical head in the future. I don't think I have the skill, tools, or patience for in-depth machinery restoration, but I don't mind doing basic tasks and paying a pro to fix the rest. Anyway, I find myself checking three sites often. In no particular order:
Vintage Machinery site Really cool site that I use for reference, pictures, and their classifieds
EBAY (of course)
IRS Auctions Auction site, shops closing/liquidating, etc.
I'll also occasionally check:
360DegreeMachinery Reseller of used machinery, often with videos
Any other sites out there that you all use?
Cheers,
Devin
