I don't need a bandsaw but it sure is convenient 😅Its an original model 352 not a modern version and the mechanism is original, could probably do with a bit of lubrication by the sounds of it but i am quite well versed on startrite and bandsaws and its not broken or bodged together by someone...

I shall go out and take a picture when the torrent of rain outside slows down, its an old model. Its far from a deal breaker on the bandsaw, just a nuisance really but the rack/pinion system has definitely made my nipples tingle. I personally think it would be a worthwhile upgrade; i just need...

Its not quite as i said each and every time but as the whole guide/guard system is on a round bar it never seems to sit dead straight once i've moved it; i don't trust the blade to keep it aligned. The rack and pinion just keep it straight, moves smooth and easier tiny adjustment, i think im...

I picked up a Kity 613 this evening and one thing i don't see spoken about in the many recommendations online is the rack and pinion to raise and lower the upper guides and blade guard easily and smoothly. Compare this to the 352's adjustment which needs to be loosened, moved by hand, lined up...

What are you opinions on the most useful and/or versatile powersaw? Or if you could only have one, which ? I currently have a startrite 352 and a dewalt3151 but that has gotten lost under my wood pile and im considering selling it for some pocket money for something new when i can bother to dig...

Ebays a funny place.. in the last year i "brought" a Wadkin BGS 12, well maintained but barely ever used for £300 but i regularly see items sitting there far over-priced for months, if not the last two years but i imagine they must sell or they wouldn't operate like that. I did have the...

I'm really suprised this didn't go right away; if i had the money at hand i would take it but won't have for a few weeks unfortauntely. Best of luck

From what i've read today before they could register the name over here they sold them with a wadkin stamp on it

My bargain of the day today came in the form of something a bit different, ain't it beautiful! I was expecting a bit of a state to restore due to the price but its been well looked after; i think i will just give it a clean black/gold lettering coat of paint and put it to work

I have a small propane forge in the shop to make my own hardware and occasional tools; Recently a turned it on without checked the hose connections and one of them had come loose due to the pressure change.. The fire spread down the hose and onto the tank. Luckily i got it all turned off before...

I have the dewalt equivilent and while its a powerful and quiet saw, i wouldn't buy it again. Dust extraction is not a thing, it takes about 2 minutes to stop due to lack of break, it starts to push on the bottom of the bed at a full 45 degree's angle, the fence is bad. If these arent an issue...

A router has been one of the things that's its been hard to find in my situation; i live in one of the poorer areas of an affluent place so until i claw myself out i get a lot of bargains but i am pretty much a bottom feeder that has to be patient and put in a lot of search time to find really...

I will be and i will do; i have 4-5 restoration posts coming soon (y)

That it is; covered in surface rust but from the threads i imagine it never saw a lot of use, pristine for being 80~ years old

For the wonderful price of £8 and a 30 minute walk carrying it home i finally upgraded from my #51 junior to its bigger, stronger brother; a 1940's #52½. Happy day! Don't talk to me or my son ever again.meme.jpeg

Another thing to consider is a hammer, if treated well, you wont buy again so its marked high. A drill, looked after well, might last a few years and get replaced so they can afford to price them low as a consumable. Also that's a low-end drill vs a decent retail-level hammer, you could get a...

Thank you for that much appreciated, ill give him a try..Its one person yes, sam at landylifts or is that two separate options ?

"Band Saw Table Insert Diameter 70mm Record BS-300 / BS-350 /BS-400 & Others" On the auction site might be what you are looking for.. If not an option is to get someone to 3d print one

Hey all, Hopefully this is the right place to post this. I'm wondering if we have anyone who couriers workshop machinery at a reasonable rate in Dorset at short notice? Had a few people let me down today and need a Startrite 352 and benchtop 12" sander collecting in Portsmouth and delivered in...

" Introduced in the late 1930s and shown in catalogues for that era (and not, as widely supposed, in 1948 for the Golden Jubilee of the Harrison Company ) the "Union" Jubilee wood-turning lathe had a 5-inch centre height and was available in versions offering 30", 42" and later 54" between...
