Buy second-hand table routers – Bäuerle, Kölle, Bernardo, Schneider, Festo and Comec – directly from specialist dealers. We list milling machines for joinery, carpentry and window fabrication: bench routers with one or two spindles, chain mortisers and mortising machines, tenoning machines and a cross-profile router. Prices range from approx. €490 to €7,900.

What you’ll find here

Bench routers: Bäuerle SFM, Bernardo T 1000S, Klein & Söhne and Kölle F50 for profiles, rebates, grooves and chamfers. The Schneider SK D 2 twin-spindle table router has two spindles, allowing two tools to remain set up so you can switch between two profiles without having to change over.

Chain mortisers and mortising machines: Bäuerle, Festo PP, Fezer KF 50, Haffner SL 100 and Scheppach ST 12 cut mortises and slots for timber joints, locks and fittings – in carpentry as well as in staircase and window construction.

Tenon cutters and cross-profile milling machines: The Festo ZA 2T cuts tenons on transoms and frame timbers, whilst the Comec FRO1000 mills cross-profiles on frame components.

What we look for in second-hand milling machines

Spindle and bearings: Concentricity, bearing noise and play in the milling spindle; a spindle diameter of 30 mm is standard, whilst some machines have interchangeable spindles. For swivel spindles, we check the clamping action in every position.

Speed settings and drive: All speed settings must change smoothly, and the motor brake must bring the tool to a rapid halt.

Stops and table: The milling table must be flat, the milling stop free of play, and the table rings complete. A sliding carriage or tenon carriage extends the machine’s range of use, for example for mortise and tenon joints or cross-cutting work.

Safety: Only tools marked ‘MAN’ may be used for manual feed. A feed mechanism significantly improves safety and surface quality; safety guards and the extraction hood must be complete.

Tools: We check the supplied router bits, spacer rings and profile cutters for marking and condition. A set of usable tools is often worth several hundred euros.

Chain planer: Condition of the chain, guide rail and sprocket, clamping device and depth stop.

Brands and suppliers

Bäuerle and Kölle are synonymous with robust bench-top routers manufactured in Germany, whilst Festo, Fezer and Haffner are known for their chain-driven mortisers, which have been in use in many joinery workshops for decades. All milling machines in this category are supplied by Ochmann Holzbearbeitungsmaschinen, a dealer in second-hand joinery, carpentry and window-making machinery.

Frequently asked questions about second-hand wood-working routers

How much does a second-hand table router cost?

Our table routers range from around €1,900 to €4,390, whilst the Schneider SK D 2 twin-spindle machine costs around €4,900. The price is influenced by the swivel spindle, sliding carriage and speed range.

What spindle diameter do I need?

30 mm is the standard in Europe; most commercially available tools fit this. Check your existing tools before buying a machine with a different spindle size.

Do I need a feed mechanism?

For longer workpieces and production runs, yes: the feed mechanism feeds the timber evenly, keeps your hands out of the tool’s path and improves the finish. You can find suitable devices under ‘Other Machines’.

What is a chain mortiser used for?

For mortises and slots, such as in timber joints in roof trusses, stair stringers or mortise locks. The chain works significantly faster than a chisel or drill.

Can I test a router before buying it?

Arrange a viewing appointment directly with the dealer. A test run at all speed settings will show whether the bearings and drive are in good working order.

A table router with one or two spindles?

A single spindle is sufficient if you rarely switch between profiles. A dual-spindle machine is worthwhile for recurring combinations such as a profile and a counter-profile, as both tools remain set up.
