Hello - help much appreciated

[motodysseus]

Hello, everyone

My name is Dale and I'm the eldest son of a joiner/carpenter. Unfortunately my father passed away in June at the premature age of 60, and I am administering his estate.

My father has left behind a number of workshop machines, as well as a miscellany of hand tools and power tools. I know that, prior to his death, he had agreed to sell the machines as a lot to a local joiner for a fixed price; he has subsequently pulled out of that deal.

I would like the machines to go to a good home for a fair price, and was hoping that some kind souls here may be able to advise me on realistic prices for the machinery as a starting point, or on reputable workshop clearance services or used machine buyers. The machinery which I have identified consists of:

Burrows, Green Ltd of Colne spindle moulder
DeWalt BS1310 bandsaw
Rutlands DK2080 powered router table
Sedgwick morticer
Morticer with Gryphon motor (unsure of make)
Scheppach TKU table saw
Scheppach HF33 spindle moulder
Whitehead Junior planer/thicknesser

As far as I know, it is all in good working condition if a little rough around the edges to look at. Some of the older machines may catch the eye of enthusiasts! I have photographs which I can upload when permitted.

I am aware that to list a classified ad, I should do so in the classified section and be a supporting member and I will be happy to do that once I have an idea of the value of these machines.

Apologies if I have misused my first post, but I wanted to be completed transparent about my reasons for joining the site in the hope of both getting sound advice from passionate enthusiasts and perhaps finding a good home for my father's machines.

Best wishes,

Dale

Welcome to the mad house and many condolences for your sad news, too early for sure to lose your dad.
I am sure some people will be along and able to help with prices also worth a quick look on ebay. It will help to know if they are all 240v or 3 phase.
You need a few posts before using the for sale section....I think.

Sorry to hear about your dad , Your task won't be easy , Full photos and full discription will be needed along with looking up sold prices on say ebay, Good luck.

my condolences as well.

Sad to hear of the loss of your dad at such a young age , I doubt the money will mean much so it might be worth considering if donating some of the tools to a local men’s shed or similar charity etc might be a better option and serve as final good deed to your dad . Good look what ever you decide ..

Hi, sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad.
EBay seems a decent place to sell machines. You would just need to take various pics from different angles with decent light.


A good description is really important, I would copy and paste from the manufacturer.

Lastly I would list with no reserve, starting at .99p, this encourages people to bid, the prices reached are generally about right, but if you prefer, look at comparables, and list as a classified ad.

Lastly state collection only.

Hope that helps

As for all of the machines, I believe them all to be three-phase.
