Robinson ET/E Saw

[hennebury]

First of all, congratulations are in order. So, congratulations! I love the work and the way you're treating the machines.

Now about this....

Funny fact: I'm in Romania, which is maybe one of the last places where you would think of finding genuine vintage Robinsons and Wadkins.

So let me add some pictures of the state in which you probably found the Robinson, if not worse. Not sure whether this is an ET/E or ET/T though.

Looks like an ET/E with the long table option. I have a couple of ET/E's, one I just rebuilt and sold. I also have a couple of the ZT/E's , never heard of the ET/T model.

Thank you for the info. This one here is still up for sale. I love it but I can't take on restoring such a beaut without having the proper knowledge.

The machine is pretty basic, the only thing that confused me for a while was how the motor was disassembled to remove the bearings.

Nice looking saws.

What is the maximum depth of cut with the 18" blade?

 

[hennebury]

5 or 5-1/2" not at home to check.
