Sure will be Rob. Still a bit to do yet, the fence is the next part on the list and that has suffered a bit of abuse. This saw would have been the pride of someones workshop when it was new but by the end of its working life appears to have been relegated to the back of the shed to do all the crap jobs.

Well here we have a photo of the fence with the front fence plate removed. The parts for the fine adjustment are sitting in place but not properly assembled.

This shows the parts disassembled.

This isn't described well in the Wadkin manual but the main body pictured above is referred to as the fence slide. The casting (seemingly unnamed) that sits within the fence slide is clamped to the table with a dovetail bolt and nut at the top pictured with a silver bolt as a handle. This allows fine adjustment of the fence slide with the adjusting screw (with black knob). Fence slide is locked to the to the dovetail bolt with a cam (operated by the short handle with thread on both ends).
Photo as seen from below.

There is meant to be a spacer that fits between the cam and the fence slide but it did not come with the saw.
Photo below shows the adjusting screws for clamping the fence slide.

If anyone is able to get a photo of the missing part from a PP, or PK if they are similar, fence it would be greatly appreciated.

I regret that the PK arrangement is different, so I cannot help. On the PK, that central un-named block is simply locked down by a sliding tee-handled nut at the top of the dovetail bolt.
PK Fence.jpg My PK fence nearing completion.
This leaves the "fence slide" un-clamped, so that it can be micro-adjusted by the "star" knob - in a similar way to the PP. However on the PK this micro-adjuster can locked with the non-sliding tee handle.
You may need to consult the other PP owners over on CWW to get your answers.

Hi Tony . Pete McCurley from Curlytimbers was kind enough to take these pictures and send them to me .
He measured the piece at 15.8 wide and pointed out its strange looking pins or tapped and filed flush filled holes which align with the Bolt threads, see the Red Arrows . He was saying the hex grubs adjust toe in or out alignment but was not sure how the bolts and the flush pins work to allow that adjustment ??
He said his needs adjustment so he may be taking it out tomorrow if he has time and he will get better measurements.
Rob

Thanks very much Rob, the photo's are very helpful. Curious to see what the purpose of the pins is.

Found time to clean and repaint the fence. Still a couple of jobs that need doing, thread on the adjuster is bent and will need replacing, clamping mechanism fixing, couple of new handles to make. Wont take long to put all the painted pieces back together but the other jobs will take a little while.
The main fence components shown below.
