    Wow! makes my 20" look small. And it looks like you got all the bits plus some. Well done.

    Never seen a ruler like that before.

    The 2 foot 4" bit is intriguing, good idea, is that normal over there, or is it a recent thing with rulers?

    Doesn't matter to me as I don't want one, as I'm essentially 100% metric now, but in my feet and inches days that looks like it would have been the go.

    I just can't imagine saying 2'4" and 1/32 these days, yet those kinds of things just rolled of the tongue 45 years ago during my apprenticeship.

    Default 28" Wadkin

    Does it have two motors?

    I can see one turning the cutter-head ... then that second one in the rear RHS corner ... looks like there is a pipe down to the lower rear ??

    Maybe hydraulic bed lift/lower?

    Cheers,
    Paul McGee

    Default BIG Wadkin

    Hi Jgforsberg,

    I saw one of those machines about 40 years ago in a casket ( coffin) workshop in Ireland. They were using it to dress and then thickness edge to edge slabs of elm from about 25mm down to about 16mm. I remember well that there was no dust extraction system in the workshop. That huge machine was just throwing out the shavings on to the floor and all the dust into the air : different times those were, OH and S hadn't been heard of then.

    Cheers Old Pete

    Canada went metric many year ago but wood working never did b/c it is so tied to the US. this tape is not special.
