No, I was meaning from the leaders of the countries - in your case the recently departed yellow one. Cheers, Vann.

That's correct. Our PM announced that covid was serious, that we needed to take drastic and immediate action to try to limit it. We have had 5 deaths per million of population. In the USA it was described as just a flu, nothing to worry about. They have 1,239 (and climbing) per million. In...

Still having difficulty with editing. Sorry, I can't use this site anymore - too frustrating. If you don't get any other answers, PM me and I can help with some of the dimensions. Cheers, Vann. https://www.woodworkforums.com/f299/wadkin-lp-boring-recessing-machine-218488

Congratulations on a great purchase. Like Wallace I have the earlier and smaller LP. Mine's a little older than Wallace's - being made in 1925 and originally having the motor at ground level - like the LR pictured... Having difficulty with editing.

Steam rollers don't roll steam. Chewing gum is boneless. You can't hang mince on meathooks. And there's no "f" in eggs. Cheers, Vann.

I agree here. It will be interesting to see if we're wrong, but I doubt it on evidence so far. Cheers, Vann.

For you to call that "stupid" you obviously don't understand what defunding the police is about. It seems like a reasonable argument IMHO. Cheers, Vann.

Shades of the Hong Kong protests? I'll bet the mainland Chinese government considered the students (and others) to be forcefully gaining entry to a government building in order to change the results of a 'legitimate' law. Cheers, Vann.

But are you sitting in the middle? You say they're both part of the problem, but how is it that BLM protesters, who are just wanting the right to not be shot in the street because of the colour of their skin, are part of the problem? Cheers, Vann.

I still remember our first phone number: 2758-D. It was a party line and we knew when the call was for us because the operator would ring long short short - morse code for "D". As for kids. My 29 year old son is an economist, my 19 year old daughter works part time as a waitress, but my 16 year...

If it's not too late, take lots of photos before and as you disassemble (something I don't do enough of). They can be invaluable when it comes to reassembly. Cheers, Vann.

You're quite wrong on both counts. Stanley did make a No.8 Bailey (as well as a No.608 Bedrock). Record didn't make a No.8, they made a No.08 (and a No.08ss). And I believe Record are the only British manufacturer of cast iron planes of that size as Stanley No.8 planes were imported from USA...

I too thought they manufactured some of their machinery in the UK. Cheers, Vann.

We may never know, but I believe you're right - that it was built in 1960. It used to be thought that the first two digits of the Test Number gave the year of manufacture for Wadkin (Green Lane works) machines, but this was later found to be greatly wrong. However for Wadkin-Bursgreen machines...

Sorry to hear that. I wish you the best recovery possible. Regards, Vann.

Six wires into your terminal box. I'm not an expert, but I think that's a good sign (that it can easily run on 240v, 3phase). Good luck. Cheers, Vann.

I believe the skew knives give a cleaner cut. I have a Wadkin 9" RB with skewed knives - but it's not up and running yet. I don't have an FS-2, but I know a bloke who does. I don't know that he's had the tables apart, but I could ask. Cheers, Vann.

Q: Why isn't Trump allowed back into the White House? A: It's for biden. Cheers, Vann.

Any chance you'll be drunk when I pick up and I can make off with a Wadkin PK instead? Just kidding, I'm in New Zealand ;). Cheers, Vann.

No. The No.7 takes a 2 3/8" wide iron (~60mm), white the No.8 takes a 2 5/8" iron (~67mm). Cheers, Vann.
