need help identifying old machines
I have been lucky enough to purchase some old machines from an old factory. Trying to identify the bandsaw and thicknesser.
Haven`t found any badges on either. The band saw has a wolf motor on it. Also there is a Jeffwood Tenon machine. not sure if it is worth anything. As well as a Wadkin MF morticer.
Thanks Ross

Welcome to the forums..
Your thicknesser is also a Jeffwood.
Matty ( L.S.Barker1970 ) has a couple in his shed( still 2 I think) and I have one of them in my shed. A great little machine.
Does yours have the square head?
Regards,
Peter

I do Pete I do !!
They are a nice little machine.
Here is a link to a bit of talk on them......

Your Bandsaw has me stumped for the moment, I'm beginning to wonder wether the Jeffress Brothers made bandsaws as well at Northgate Brisbane ?!
I would love to see some more shots of the Tenoning machine, I have never seen one made by Jeffwood.
Melbourne Matty.

Thanks Peter. Yes this has a square head. Considering converting to a spiral head unless I can buy round head.
I will have a better look at the bandsaw when I get it home. Wheels need new drive rubbers. any idea where to get that?
Thanks for the link. I`ll try to get some better photo`s of the tenon machine. It`s still buried. need to clear some space around it.
Hoping to get these machines out this week. Will post other photo`s of the ace 12" jointer, Thornley spindle moulder and a table saw when I get them home. All these machines where still powered up and fired up when I hit the button. Have been sitting for nearly 40 years. The shop was shut down and everything was just left as it was back then.
I`ve been building Ukuleles and starting on guitars. I`v been getting timber from logs. So this tooling will help. Just need a bigger shed.
Thanks for your responce
Ross
