Thread: Just purchased a Wadkin Table Saw for $53

Hi Camo, Ring Southern Cross Engineering (07 3890 1244) in Brisbane to track down a manual for your saw. I have gotten manuals for all my old Wadkin stuff off them over the years. Sorry I'm a bit late with the info. Looks like you have done a nice job with it though.It is worth doing all the little things properly now and then you won't ever have to be trying to fix it when you have it in use.

You can find a colour brochure and manual here:

Wadkin - Products - 207

Not ideal but the best I could find when I searched.

Some parts are available from Southern Cross and in the UK. However, when I was looking for parts for the scribing saw mounts, and parts for the rip fence clamp. I found it cheaper/ simpler to have them made locally or do it myself.

Regards

I hope these are helpful.

Photo 1 & 2 show the original Guard and 5 shows the guard ( Felder ) that I am using & prefer, as it has a dust extraction connection. Although I intend to modify this so it hangs from above the saw, & not connected to the riving knife .

Photo 3 shows the crosscut fence in its fixed position 4 shows the locking pin pulled up and the fence partially swung away, and one of the two swing up stops.

Photo 6 shows the opposite end of the fence where the pivot is fixed in the sliding table, 7 shows the fence swung around almost parallel with the blade.

Photo 8 is very dark but shows one of the stops swung down to the stop position.

Regards
