Ha, ok, I'll leave the exotic dust collection assembly until later if you aren't pleased with how it works. Can't imagine I would be able to come up with anything better than what you did. Interesting on the shark guard though. I've heard about them for a while, but never looked into them...

You just use rouge or do you go though the various levels of compound after you wire wheel it. Thanks for the link, I'm going to have to look a little more carefully for some conduit over here. That stuff in the link you sent seems quite a bit nicer than anything I've found over here (so far at...

Hi There, that came out great as usual... for the armored conduit how did you clean it up? It came out great. Also is it bespoke to Wadkin? Asking because I've been looking for some high quality conduit that is similarly terminated in bronze or something similar, but haven't found any anywhere...

Hi Mark, I think that particular set up is not compatible with the saw I have. I'm attaching a few pics of the set up that I know works for my era of saw (they are from a blog of some great WB restorations). I've seen it referred to as the "parallelogram" version. It seems to be made up of...

Hi there, I'm over in the States and have a late 70s WB AGS 10 (I've got a restore thread here that is on pause while I wait out the winter). Unfortunately the US versions of the saw came with a static "splitter" instead of the standard rise/fall riving knife and assembly that came on UK...

Hmmm, All the info I've been able to find says M is 8mm wide and just under 6mm deep... which would jive with the actual measurements off these Wadkin branded v belts on this machine. As long as it is 40 degrees on the side though I should be ok using 3V pulley/sheaves though. They are a type...

I did some more digging and it seems that this belt is a "M" type like it is marked on it... it is apparently a type that is not used very often any more. Haven't been able to find an pulleys/sheaves for it here in the US (doesn't help that it is metric), but it seems that the 3V type is pretty...

Hi there, I realized today that the Delta donor motor since it was bigger would change the distance between the two pulley centers by a bit. I quickly measured it and it is an extra inch (measured at the bottom of the motor shaft) away from the arbor. Also given the different frame and...

Hi everyone, Been a while... had a monsoon winter here in California and now have finally gotten back to working on the AGS10. First thing is I need to get it up and running for a few projects before I go through the process of completely tearing it down and restoring it. I'm stuck with 120V...

Hmmm, this is helpful to know. I may wait to try it until I'm ready to paint the thing given what you say. I did take a closer look at it and it does look like the inner splined end will clear the hole in the casting, but not the bushings, so hopefully it will dislodge them and drag them out...

Yea, I was able to take it to a machine shop at the local junior college near me and use one of their squares (was there doing other projects, so brought it along) and was able to get it locked square using the lock knob... the pin at 90 degrees just allowed it to wobble off of 90, so I need to...

Hmmm, intersting. For my own clarity: 1. you tapped the whole assembly out from the inside... the "geared" end then dragged the two bronze bushingings out with it? Didn't even think to look and see if the business end cleared the inside hole diameter, so that might make things easier. 2. When...

Anyone have any thoughts on how this "fine adjust" wheel comes off this fence? I assume the shaft itself was pushed though the cast part of the fence and then the black handle was pressed on. There is a bronze (I assume) bushing in the cast portion so that the shaft is a moderate slip fit (so...

It would make sense in my mind. I have a BER2 that is a "77" and the purchase history tracks to that being the year it was bought as well...

I ended up lapping the front of it to get it flat and then measured with a machinists square I was able to borrow... it's close but not exact. I pulled the box with the spring loaded pin off again and managed to strip out one of the little hex head screws so will need to replace that, but there...

Not sure if you guys have Costco over there, but if you do ask their photo department about it... We had a ton of old family movies that my aunt got transferred there, it came out well and I seem to remember it wasn't very spendy...

Hi Merlin, Looks like mine was drilled and tapped for the hand brake... also the motor support plate has the right slots/holes in it as well. Just no brake. :)

Here is the number plate on mine... I would have a hard time believing the 79, 80 or other designations are not indicative of the year though. The PO of mine said they bought it for sure in late 79 or early 80, since that is when they acquired most of their machinery, so that would track to...

Hi Keith, I actually had that bit apart and there is no adjustment built into it... I can see possibly wallowing out the screw holes in the bottom of it a bit to give me a little movement, but otherwise this one at least doesn't seem to allow for anything as is. Will take it apart and post a...

Hi there, I'm pretty sure I've read that thread two or three times actually as I have been looking for a BGS10 for a long time, but had given up finding one here in the States. Pretty sure they were never imported for whatever reason or if they were it was in minisucle numbers... Net, net I have...
