Sorry, disregard my last comment - I found it - new style fence. I've struck a deal with the eBay seller, and will purchase the fence and table above. I won't get it here for a while, as the cheapest (as in free: ) transport option that I could find is someone I trust on another forum who...

Im not up on the codes - is the AGS/p the old style back to front one, or the new one?

The part number of the main table on the slim unit with the new fence is - D-1026M/207 Now all I need to do is find the manual for the unit with the wide base and see if the part number is the same...

I spoke to the chap earlier in the day. The issue is transport. He reckons it's too heavy for a standard courier, and so would have to go on a pallet. Then I'm looking at £255 or somthing, and I've seen whole 3ph saws sell for that on eBay. I'm wondering if the fence above is nicer to use...

So far as I'm aware, there is nothing special about bushes. I would get the closest one you can and reduce it to fit. The spindle on my CNC machine has some pin thing down the center of the carbon - some saftey thing for when they ware or somthing? I've never really understood it. But I know...

Someone has just put this on eBay - It's obviously the newer single rail fence from the later saws. Without ever using the newer style, it's always seemed that the dual rail version would be preferable, but I guess I could convert to the more modern one? The table in that photo is off the...

I think ive narrowed it down to the INCRA 1000SE - the Kregg is a little cheaper, but the grub screws to fit to the groove look so much more awkward than Incra's method. So, the next thing is where to buy? I look back at forum posts and the price of these seems to have really fattened up over...

If you have both, can I ask why? I mean, what do you do on one and not on the other? The reason I ask is that, when my Wadkin AGS is fixed, I will need to regain some space, and my DeWalt dw125 (with table) takes up a fair bit of room... I mean will I miss the DeWalt when I have the Wadkin up...

I have looked. From what I can tell, the knob screws onto the end and that is pretty much what keeps it in place. My current plan is to remove the knob (assuming my understanding is correct) and then slip a tube over the end in its place, to get leverage to pull it back into shape. There is a...

I suspect one of those incra 1000se ones is what I'm after. They just cost a whole load of cash! : ( My interest is not so much in angles (at present) but in cutting small hardood parts to uniform and repeatable length. I had to go out today so did not manage to send the straightening firm...

I have given johnmcnab a call, and am going to send them photos etc. but it sounds promising at present. I'll need to see if I can get the micro adjust out of the casting to send them also. I think that the fence casting fracture is probably non structural. I'll see if I can take some more...

I should make up some sort of wheeled base for this. I'm actually better at metal work than I am at wood, so would an angle iron (steel) base with some wheels on it be all that I really need? Any recommendation on some decent wheeled castors? My workshop floor is concrete, and fairly flat...

The casting probably isn't the main concern, as I don't think the fracture is really in s structural point. The rail is more of a concern - it's bent in a few places from where the force had been spread over the fence to table mounts. I honestly don't think it could be straightened to a...

A couple of photos prior to smashy-smashy - Then onto the sad times - I dont even know what that part is at the end of the fence casting - some of it never even got here. So, my broken bits are - The fence casting. Whatever that bit on the end of the casting is. The front...

Walk into any commercial engineers, and look for the first set of digital calipers that you see, and it will be a set of mitutoyo. The small 150mm ones are not massive money. 300mm and it's a much more considered choice. Most digital calipers are probably similar, but the mitutoyo won't...

I finally concluded with the underwriters today, and officially own the salvage of the saw that they were insuring on behalf of the couriers.... : / It would have been a nice saw - 1ph in reasonable condition, with factory dust extraction motor hood etc but I think someone drove into it with a...

Ughh.. if only I could work out how to pm on the new system! I've done it before too, just can't work it out now. I'll have a look when I'm on the proper computer later - thank you!

Ive eventually purchased one, and the seller has put it on a pallet for me, but the shipping firm wants to know the height. Ive looked through the paperwork, and can find the weight, table dimensions, etc, but not the height. Can anyone enlighten me at all? (obviously the seller would be...

I think that the thicknesses did exactly what it was supposed to do! : ) I've seen people on videos fixing twisted sheets to known flat sheets, and packing out the voids, so as the thicknesses springs don't just push the top sheet flat as it goes through. That way the top face of the twisted...

I have no personal experience, but from my lurking on welding forums, the usual way seems to be to preheat the job, and arc weld it with special (expensive'ish) rods. Then control it's cooling. On a small part that you can get to temp before starting it seems the results are favourable. Again...
