Another vote for what Wallace says. There's another Startrite saw on Ebay, buy it now of 300 quid, for a 12". The motor's a 2.2Kw, not a 22Kw! It's 3 phase, which might be a problem for you (I live in the Netherlands, all houses have 3 phase supplies). I bought one very much like this, similar...

One question Wallace. Your restorations of flat cast iron tables - planer tables etc - how did you do it? I use a Stanley knife scraper and oil, then emery cloth and oil; what's your method? Cheers. Ian

Anyone else out there who has one of these, and if you have, have you made any additional toolholding jigs for it? (for those wondering what this is, google "viceroy sharpedge", and all will become clear :-) Ian

I looked at the Wadkin CC saws. Beautiful pieces of engineering, with - for my application - one big drawback; the amount of space that you need behind them to accommodate the sliding arm. My workshop is underground, so the choice would have been lose a couple of feet of workshop, or put a hole...

Hi Wallace, Thanks for that, I just registered there. Lovely photos of your restoration work - yes, I also love Wadkin stuff; my UOS planer needs a going-over. It's the 2 blade, 2 feed speed model, so I'm keeping my eyes open for upgrades. I was looking for a Wadkin radial arm crosscut saw...

Instead of buying tyres for your bandsaw, there are other options that work remarkably well. Wrapping the metal wheel with tape for instance. Masking tape works well (better than you'd expect), as does 3M friction tape. If you want to stick with rubber, there are self-vulcanizing rubber tapes...

Hi all, New to this site. I live in Holland, and have over the decades been increasing the number and size / weight of my machinery stock. I went through the Scheppach / Electra Beckum type machines, now have a Wadkin UOS planer / thicknesser, SCM spindle moulder, Startrite table saw etc. Also...
