Do you have a recommended process for accessing the second hand commercial market?

Auctions. There are any number of online auctioneers selling off machine shop tooling (going out of business, upgrading and getting rid of old stuff, etc.).

I haven't bought CNC machinery that way, but I've gotten tooling, measuring equipment, etc. for pennies on the dollar buying from auctions.

And like jacquesm said, EBay.

Ebay, and specialized traders. Also: contact the sales people of new machinery for early access to trade-ins.
