Adding the right capacity
Start with the work you make
Write down the widest and thickest stock you regularly use. A planer’s width, a bandsaw’s resaw capacity and a sander’s working surface answer different needs. Separate the work you do every week from an occasional oversized project before choosing the size of machine to ask about.
Check the space around the footprint
The base dimensions are only part of the space a machine needs. Leave room to feed your usual stock, operate controls and reach adjustments. Review the motor plate for voltage and phase, and check the dust connection. Have a qualified electrician confirm compatibility with your shop’s electrical service.
Replacing equipment in an Atlanta shop
If an upgrade leaves a machine unused, send it through our seller form. Tell us which machine you are selling, its condition and your asking price if you have one. Include photos of any accessories being offered with it. Keeping the old and replacement machine details separate makes each conversation easier.
