The may be advertised on the internet or in trade journals. Some times machines are out of company liquidation and priced for quick sale. It is essential to look for experienced hands to assist you in selecting used woodworking machinery like drum sanders to allow you to buy used woodworking machinery that is in good order.
You could contact known agencies on the web or stores specializing in the sales of used woodworking machinery. It could be that not all of the machines may be listed on the internet. And very often special sales by woodwork machinery manufacturers may offer quite a selection of secondhand and reconditioned machines like drum sanders. It would be important here to look for brand names.
It is always a good idea to test the drum sander and check if it could be fine tuned before you go in for the deal. You could run a piece of scrap through the jointer and planer and see if it is nice and square and flat. Place the board under the drum and raise the table until it barely touches the board. Slide it across the table checking the difference from the bottom of the drum to the top of the board. An experienced craftsman should be able to judge the workability of a second hand drum sander.
