Anybody know what model Sedwick table saw this is?

Been looking at this on eBay

The seller is going to get me some more details this week.

But anybody know what model it is and are they any better than say a 10 inch table saw from itech or Axminster?

That’s the updated version of the brilliant LK. The original version had the raise lower handle on the RHS. Comparing an LK with the two you mention is a bit like comparing a Robin Reliant with a Luxurious car, night and day. The only perceived draw back with the LK is that the blade doesn’t tilt. The fence does and for angled cuts you make a simple sledge.
I think I did a thread on restoring one.

Have you seen this thread I ousted the other day?

It’s about the same size as the LK, of the two, buy the SCM, it’s cheaper and by far a hugely better saw. I’ve owned, used and restored a number of both saws.

Lovely old Sedgewick saw but 1300 notes I would say is quite overpriced

It’s been converted to single phase, so (assuming) a 2.2kW motor and new starter, that’s £300 minimum in parts. The saws paint and knobs look original, it has the micro adjust and the fence doesn’t looked to have been chewed so has been well looked after. It also comes with a decent SY cable extension and a good length of flex hose so those two around £100. To me the saw looks to be very good value for what you’re buying.

I assume it has no blade tilt, just up and down?
He didn't know the blade size, would it be 12 inch?
The motor looks newer so would it be a quiet induction motor?
The table top mitre slot would that be a standard size? Thanks

Sorry I read from the bottom messages up and didn't see the no tilt post

Big fan of Sedgwick, I have a newer 12” one with cross cut in the uk, just wish I could get such quality in the us.
They come up quite often Sedgwick TA 315 probably slightly more money than that one though.

The saw weighs 270KG it can take up to a 400mm blade. It will rip up to c130mm or just over 5”, the max saw projection is 140mm.
It has. Modern induction motor made by Tec, which are good motors. I believe it’s a standard slot size.
