thank you for all the replies, appreciate it a lot. i canne wait to get this saw cutting! Edit- i just clicked that its 380-420 Δ not Y and @deema is correct so i wont be changing it to 220v Δ but 660v Y.. i will wait for a appropriate motor to pop up locally

I finally got around to taking the motor off and having a look today; i wasnt in high hopes of keeping it in use after seeing the data plate as this would be the third i've opened and 2/2 where fixed star but i believe this one is actually ready to wire delta? Could someone please confirm, the...

I have taken a look thought lathes.co.uk and can't find it but im sure there are more there i missed; hopefully someone can come along and help ID it

Evening all, I was very kindly given a tiny bench drill today and i would like to ID it so i can see how it would look restored; i've spent many hours looking through a bunch of the likely culprits with no luck but its very clearly not home made, thought the base is likely a replacement/repair...

A beast indeed, unfortunately the day i collected it he got it out and left it under a tarp ready which had holes so the top is a lovely bright orange at the moment but nothing that wont come off with some alcohol and a cloth. He had also added a floor to help air suction and between the floor...

So finally after many, many moons i got myself a wadkin AGS10" within my budget and within collection distance and i don't think i would ever expected so much for the money! :eek: So you all get another thread about them 🥳 Later model fence, riving knife and guard, Crompton S10 breaking unit...

Thank you for all the replies! The reason for saying a 2hp motor was my being able to pick up new old stock motor for much cheaper than they still retail but currently wont be until i get paid now and by then ill be paying postage so taking all on board ill probably get an inverter if the motor...

Updated to show whats left @Phil1975 @Echo-Star I finally had a chance to look today and it is there. I wont get a chance to take it out until the weekend but ill get it sorted asap now im back in the workshop

If i go the VFD route I imagine i will mount it inside the body in an ip6# box with external power switches mounted in a spare MEM startett switch box i have. I will definitely have it on wheels as i'm really pushing my luck with space now, its getting a little ridiculous to be honest..imagine a...

Afternoon all, I've finally found an AGS10 in my own tight budget and im picking it up tomorrow, canne wait! :D Its very clean and looked after, newer model fence, its lovely but one downsize it is 3ph. They had a breaking module added during lockdown which is maybe worth mentioning but i may...

As the others above have said it would be best to see the space done and then fit things in there to suit your needs but one thing i would consider doing regardless is the ducting for dust/chip extraction on the roof, across the length of the shop in the middle if its feasible and add ducts off...

This man has made some of the most amazing things is seen made on youtube, i think his grandson runs the channel. The folding seat he makes from a single piece of wood is wonderful!

@Sideways No lathe to do that kind of work unfortauntely, i dont like the idea of slowing the union down so much but i could maybe find one that fits already. I just got back from picking the motor up and i'm happy with it. I thought it was a bargain as listed but i got there and it has a...

Put an ad on fb marketplace looking for one and let the offers coming rolling in; they might take one of two ads down due to breaking the rule of only for sale listings but you can word it to get around that easy enough. I was looking for 6 weeks, had 2-10 messages a day most days and ended up...

I pick up most of my stock from carboots, i had enough to last enough lockdown but glad they will be opening again next month. Old files, rasps and the like are great, cheap as chips, high carbon steel and for knives you wont need bigger stock often. I got all my saws, clamps, vices, anvil, etc...

Im looking for some ideas for things i could build for the workshop with a good quality 1hp motor; what have you guys made that became really useful? I have considered a drum sander for a while as i have some smaller motors i could use for an infeed and heavy duty 2.5ft~ aluminum rollers...

I am going to taking a week, sorry @Phil1975 Im currently arranging another to be delivered for breaking down so i will have

planer thicknesser jointer is the one that gets to me as it made it a pain in the ... finding the right information online at first. I would assume a jointer would be something that actually joins the boards, not preps them by plaining the surface and a plainer something that plains, not takes...

I appreciate the warning, i was going to call in advance and see what the deal is as i would definitely expect some amount of wait time if i am paying £25 for them to provide the pallet. Although now i think about it, that's likely just there to help the company recoup the pallet from the...

Thank you for that, i will steal the picture if you dont mind and send it to the guy im dealing with so he can tell his can pass on the message of how its done! I think this is going to be my option currently, make sure someone is there that can get it on the pallet, have a bunch of straps...
