    Default I Hate Wadkin Saws

    Or, if I did hate them I'd probably do this:

    A re-purposed Wadkin CC. It looks like it's used to cut ceramics or concrete products. Currently listed as "3 phase cutting saw".

    Default Another Victim.

    Or this Wadkin RM - which looks like it's one of those sought-after machines with the patternmakers tilting infeed table.

    And while the rust will clean off, it's so deep even the cast-iron will be permanently scarred.

    The 2,696th (11th to last) of 2,706 machines produced by Wadkin in 1948 - also located in UK.

    Have you not seen the wadkin brick grinder made by sentinel. I cant imagine what the bearings would be like. The guy selling the RM is a tad ambitious, £15OO. I went to see an MJ last year and the price wasnt crazy at £5OO. It had been sat outside for a longtime and was nothing more than a parts machine.
