One of the guys there was cautioning me on the wadkin saw because he said the guides are impossible to replace, so if they’re shot then that’s irreparable... I know plenty of folk online have done full refurbs of machines like this so does anybody know differently or could you tell me if I go and take a look at the machine what to look at... the guy who’s selling it doesn’t know much about it but has had it on and says its running nice and quiet so no noticeable squeaks etc
Impossible to replace with original maybe but impossible to replace with other guides? I fitted Carter guides straight onto my Wadkin.
