Thanks guineafowl21 for that tip about the saw to climbing forward. That was non-obvious (to me at least) so learned something new. deema, I will wait to see what your friend decides. Ok So I did a bit of reading on braking modules. 10s is a bit underwhelming. It looks like they have duty...

I'm in the market for one, so I've researched it a bit. Sorry if it's a bit long. I used startpage and the first result for '20" bandsaw' (that wasn't about MWs wooden one) was this...

You could chuck the stone in a cheap brushless drill held in a stand for a low-tech option. Pulley reduction on one end of the grinder? Old carpenter I knew had a big slow 12" stone, It was geared from an induction motor. I've not tried a single phase VFD, do they have a seperate leg for a...

Sorry bit slow to reply. Thanks for the dimension 420mm ~ 16 1/2", but 14" saw. The saw in question has a 12" guard. So guessing probably max 10". Think I may pass on it. There seems to be two table types thin and wide. No connection to saw size AFAIK. I've done a bit of research on the DPC...

My TS was permanent star. Had to dig into the winding to get delta. PITA, but its happy now. Thanks for the heads up. Oh that one is on vintagemachinery.org. The pics of the one in question aren't great, here are a couple: There is a space between the riving knife and blade, but if it 9"...

I've just done some further reading, and it CAN work, but it won't have very good torque at slower speeds. You also have to rewire and deal with the start capacitor. Looks like it would be way better to use a 3p motor. I'm considering a large grinding stone wheel. Their usually over 1' and...

Thanks for your detailed response, exactly what i wanted. It seems pointless to get a flimsy RAS, so I'm glad about your description. Also that it stay at the correct angles. Dados and tennoning were my main motivation over a sliding miter. I intend to use a VFD, as this will allow the blade to...

If one grinder is sufficient, a cheap VFD can make it run at any speed.

Hi guys I'm in the market for a vintage Wadkin BRA radial arm saw. As I understand it they were made in 14 and 16 inch. Looking for the 14". There is one Kinda near me, but the guy says it's only 9". And the riving knife looks like it is close to the blade, so it looks like that's all it can...
