Pedant.

I recently bought this to go on my Wadkin AGS 10. The local Axminster branch were very helpful in getting the trade version out for me to look at and phoning another branch to get measurements of the industrial version. It is designed to fit their 12" saw bench but will accommodate a right hand...

I would also add that there may be health and safety considerations with old machines if you are planning on using them in a commercial setting. Like stopping times and guarding etc. I've recently spent quite a bit on an overhead guard for the Wadkin AGS and it is great! I should put some...

If you have the time, inclination and skills to search for and set up old machines then I'd recommend going that route. But even new machines need setting up in my experience (planer tables aligning etc). I bought what I hoped would be a quality new P/T last year as I thought I would be saving...

Flattens out nicely most of the time. A bit of wet and dry between coats can be used if necessary

I've had success brushing it on (Mylands self cross linking water based lacquer)

10.4 deep for the Wadkin Kity bandsaw 15mm wide t slot, 6mm total depth. T is 18.4 wide Mike

20mm U slot Wadkin AGS 250, 1980-ish

Done

I winced when I read the subject line...

It might be easier to cut the mortices square to the bench top and make angled tenons.

I will be following this with interest too as I am currently making my own first sliding sash window for our kitchen although there are many more restorations and replacements to follow. Box frame is done and the sashes will follow soonish. I have a couple of old joinery books, one from the...

My experience with Axminster is that discounts can be nefotiated in the shop, particularly on a "package" IE accessories to go with the machine (probably these are higher margin items which they can afford to discount or give away). I would imagine that if buying several machines you might get a...

Wallace, I'm not so far away from you (Hexham), and recently used a local electrician to wire a couple of 3 phase machines in from my 3 phase converter via a three phase distribution board. He used to work as an industrial electrician and has an elec engineering degree so knows what he is on...

I have an aldi bench drill I bought second hand. The bit isn't quite at 90deg to the table and the table flexes very easily if pressure is brought to bear on it. The interlock on the lid broke and is held closed with gaffa tape. It was cheap though and is prob just about better than no bench...

Nice job. Thanks for sharing.

That's a particularly unhelpful response. I can see from your other recent post that you'd like a professionals-only forum, but surely there is no need to shoot down people asking questions which seem basic to you.

Hilarious!

Hi. I am just doing the same for the first time. Have a look at http://www.timnott.co.uk/Stuff/sashwindows.pdf and also search for the Mumford and Wood website. They sell sash windows and if you register you can download technical drawings. I spent quite a bit of time measuring the originals to...
