Are you looking for aclassic woodworking machine? Buying a new machine for your workshop can be a big deal so, here are a few helpful tips to guide you.

Advanced Machinery Servicesis primarily a service company so, we have seen, touched and repaired a lot of machines and we know of first-hand the main problems that you can get if you do not buy a good machine.

Here are our 4 tips to help you in the process:

1. Buy a machine that performs consistently:

Machine performance is critical whether you are a “one-man band” or a multi-national company.Durability, performance and reliabilityare at the top of our priorities. One of our suggestions is that you insist on seeing the machine in action in a showroom environment working with your materials. Any reputable dealer should be able to do this for you.

AMS exclusively sells theWadkin Bursgreenrange ofwoodworking machineryand Tooling because we know from experience how reliable the machinery is. TheWadkin Bursgreenrange of machines are designed to perform at the highest level consistently over many years.

2. Look for good value not the lowest price:

Price should be quite low on your list of priorities. A cheap machine can give you service sometimes but not constantly and with stability. There is a saying that “it is not what you buy its who you buy it from”. It is important to buy a machine from areputable dealerwith decades ofexperiencein producing and maintaining quality machinery like AMS, with many of their employees having decades of service with WADKIN.

At AMS, we don’t offer a machine in ourWadkin Bursgreen Range如果我们没有100%的把握going to be reliable.

Mostwoodworking workshopsevolve over a period of time and you should be working with a company that can,

• Supply thecorrect machineryfirst time.

• Install and commission the machinery with their own staff(not sub-contractors)
• Show you how touse the machine
• Service the machinery an annual basis with their own staff.
• Be with you for many years to come as partners.
