Now that is quite a good price and pretty much everything I'm describing, and costs about what I estimate mine would cost to build - except this one probably works That said, it would be fun to make one myself wouldn't it?

I have one of the Halfords Industrial tool cabinet and chest sets. Don't get me wrong, I quite like it and I keep all my motorbike related tools in there but I'm looking for another one to put along the back wall of my garage. Because you can't pay for them in magic beans, I won't be buying one...

Is there some kind of emergency stop button that can be connected to an electromagnet next to the blade, inducing eddies and bringing it to a stop like on a train? Seems simple in principle anyway but I'm sure there are design limitations? I'll get the new starter that can have the stop...

That's annoying, as I'm pretty sure that screwfix one is cheaper than the one I bought from Machine Mart So the emergency stop wires in as the second DOL in that device you linked? All this being said, with the inertia of a 10" blade my motor is going to take well over 10 seconds to stop I...

I don't actually have a meter which is a pain, but I can source one. I can't attach this to the saw for the next two weeks or so as I'm getting a new pulley machined up. I have a feeling it was just a sticky switch. I completely get your point about the earth and I am still slightly dubious...

And then it started! I'm aware that start capacitors shouldn't be started more than 10 times an hour, so this started like 5th time. Should I be concerned or brand new motor stuff?

So I wired it all up, took ages. There's a clunking sound, the motor spindle starts spinning and then comes to a stop Could it be because I've soldered the earth wire to the screw of the housing as the screw was too tight to remove and I've got a bad connection? If that is the case, is it...

It stays in

Okay I see why that could be important if multiple people are using the saw. I think I can get away without that I was going to just wire in a big red emergency stop button in series. So it's more accessible in an emergency than the DOL switch (which is also tiny) However, because I don't...

Haha yeah the other side of the switch goes to U2, D'oh! Thanks, it's been a long day #-o With regards to NVR, how does that function? Is that in case the thermal overload trips then when you press reset the saw won't automatically restart for example? I am not commercial, just a weekend...

Hi Ian, Thanks for the help, from reading other posts on wiring a 3-phase DOL in single phase I agree with Sam on the yellow wire. I don't have any first hand experience on this matter though but I don't see the harm for a couple of pennies worth of wire I feel so foolish now with the motor...

I've acquired a Clarke 2hp 6-10 amp 2 pole motor and the corresponding DOL starter for my Wadkin AGS 10" table saw This would be the first motor I've wired and I found the wiring diagram on the starter especially difficult to comprehend. I see there are some posts about this before, but they...

the no. 4 looks good, I'd have a punt at that one there's no evident pitting or anything which is good and it looks pretty freshened up - people tend not to go to the trouble if it's pants as you say as there's so many out there I'd just go for the no 4 for now if I were you. I have a no6...

If you're patient on ebay you can pick up a set of vintage record or stanley planes for £70 But for £25-£35 you'll find a restored Stanley or Record no 4 should be perfect? I've been told Irwin Record is no good and they're all just chinese stuff with the name on. But never used one so can't...

Have you got a friend with one? If you're in the Kent region I think I can lend you one These kind of things are probably beg/borrow/steal jobbies if you aren't going to use them every summer holiday when everyone else will probably be using theirs Otherwise I would go with Gumtree second...

Ah thanks I'll look into all of that I was initially looking into going down that VFD route but seemed a bit of an expensive option and single phase conversions do have the higher price when comes to sell that was really the main reason for that idea - not glued to it though I guess the...

Hi Tom, thanks for the reply The original manual says a spindle speed of 3850rpm (http://www.wadkin.com/uploads/files/Wad ... (10%20inch)%20Sawbench%20Manual%20&%20Parts%20List.pdf) but I imagine with efficiency loss due to belt, and inertia of saw blade this could feasibly be ~3000rpm? Point...

my ags 10 arrived today looks class from what I can see what's the minimum effort I can get away with for a conversion for a 13A socket? 2hp 4 pole motor with a new pulley on the end? Then will I need to source a new pulley for the arbor so they are both compatible with the same size belt...

Advice taken I've got no issues with the 'take apart piece by piece, clean, lube/paint, put back together' kind of resto job... I have no desire to get a list of parts made up however! Parts which no doubt have zero plans because nobody has ever heard of the company! The headache of sourcing...

A google search and this forum doesn't yield anything but the listing looks like it was once a very solid bit of kit Not frightened to roll my sleeves up if this is a worthwhile endeavour? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3phase-Wood-P ... 2111947086 Thoughts? (Am I asking in the correct section?)
