Having taken down a Victorian stud wall recently, the wood is blackens by the number of iron nails holding the lath strips, so metal detector should find the studs. You might get funny readings because there are diagonal studs through the vertical studs. Of course you want to fix on to the studs...

Hi, Where might you be for a look at the machine and collection if I was interested in buying this from you?

anyone got any advice on what to look out for on an old wadkin 12x7. seems to have fence, guards not too rusty. i keep seeing dc braked on the older machines, recal something about breaking at switch off damaging the engine if it was breaked a certain way. does that apply?

im still bidding, some have posted that they dont like flip tables, o dont like them flipping forwards, it appears flipping backwards, and fixed beds, are more commom on 310mm planer beds than 250mm. lot of sedgwicks come and go on ebay, many dont have planer guards, or use a modified hood for...

While a new machine is attractive, modifications to the other outbuilding will mean I gotta save some money somewhere. I'm guessing no one has much negative to say about a kity 1637? Ive seen a kity 637, but broken guard and didn't look great. It looks like these Kity's are selling in the region...

thanks Mrs C. well spotted.

I see what you mean about the infeed and outfeed table lifting the wrong way, looks like you need to stand behind it to use the thicknesser?

Quite right Transatlantic, it is another 150kg machine, maybe wheels and ramps are the answer. and there is an axminster AH106pt on ebay for £300, bit of rust. My workshop is 4.4mx3.6m and with the TS router combo, plus the spare freezer, sash clamp table and all the junk I need to store in...

Hi and thanks in advance for your help again. After moving to the isle of Wight, I miss my old local wood yard, best choice here for hardwood is Travis Perkins and it's cheaper to ship it over from the mainland, I'm going to save a lot of money if I order cut to size instead of planed all round...

Lonsdale73, thanks, you got me thinking about that, and positioning for dovetails etc I might need something along those lines, and many other fences don't seem to have such a range of movement in them. I found that Finetools of Germany sell Incra stuff a bit cheaper than UK shops, and still...

My first post here, wanted to say thanks because forums have been helpful for months now. I'm building a workshop and getting it kitted out for a few tasks, this is a bit of a leap into more serious DIY for me. Firstly, rebating 100+ year old sash windows to accept double glazing repair and...
