Wadkin AGS parts?

[liam8223]

Does anyone have any parts/spares for the wadkin AGS saws?
I'm in the middle of cleaning mine up and I could do with some bits and bobs.

Anything would be interesting.

Also wadkin BAO/S planer parts?!

Thanks.

Well impressed with this forum BTW, very interesting and the wealth of knowledge is second to none!

Liam.

If you cant find anyone on the forum with bits it may be worth contacting Daltons in nottingham as i believe they have spare parts for wadkin machinery http://www.daltonsmachines.com/.

cheers

thanks for the replies so far.
Contacted wadkin earlier in the year(i'm only 15 miles from them!) and they carry next to nothing for these old machines.
And what they do carry is dearer than a new saw!

Looks like i'm at the mercy of ebay again!

Liam, I'd be REALLY interested in what you find out. I have a 400lb heap of rust with an AGS camoflaged underneath it. So far, I have only managed to spare time to extract a rigidly seized fence from its runner, only to find the micro aadjustment cog and the 'beak' at the rear of the fence are badly damaged. Spares would be interesting. I am actually debating seeing if the Stateside equivelant of our saws ("universal fence"?)has common parts. The parts diagrams suggest interchangeability, but dimensions are difficult to come by. Try OWWM if you are interested.
