It looks like it maybe a picture of a snipper saw.

Well if that's the case, I'll send you a PM. I may have few other small things. That pic is of Marks snipper.

Vann,

Looking again at the image I don't know what I was thinking, I was thinking I would end up with basically opposite of the top cap, but thinking about it, it's probabbly going to be a fairly large piece of casting. i think the only feasible way would be to slide it off and then pull the rollers off (far too much stuffing around). I think it's best to just stick with the finger guard and the screws/bolts holding the finger guard on.

The only difference between the CK and the BCK is the BCK had a solid gold finger guard, no I should have explained better, BCK was the Wadkin Bursgreen code (Wadkin just CK). This model was being sold by Wadkin prior to Bursgreen being brought into Wadkin. The CK was put under the "Wadkin Bursgreen" range and became BCK.

Interestingly the catalogue cuts and "in the wild" BCK's I have seen have the Wadkin Bursgreen tag on the blade guard, not Wadkin, so this is either an early change over, or perhaps the guard has been replaced?

Cheers,

Camo

Seller says it has a 330mm (13") blade, with a 25mm hole. Probably too small for my PK .

Cheers, Vann

hey no problem, no offense taken. A lot of people, South of me are really good folk.

The reason why I questioned the blade size is, with a few modifications that ( aluminum blade guard)could be used as a overhead guard on my PK.... Yet another thing that's missing from my PK. Too bad it's only 13 inches.

Matty, very sorry I didn't realize you were short of parts for your saw, there's still quite a bit of the CD here though, please send a pm and list your needed parts, also quite a few small bits seem to be common to the CD and CC.

The CK saw in the photos above looks to have an extension to the arm; might be worth getting?

Good eye Sion!!!

Yes Vann you will want to grab that (I'm guessing it bolts on, under the front plate), you definately want that if you get yourself a CK, and if you don't ever foresee that, add it to my package, it will probably be heavy, but worth saving.

Cheers,

Last orders gentlemen please. Last chance to grab a spare for a Wadkin Bursgreen BCK.

Cheers, Vann.

Hi Vann,
There is a Wadkin jointer on TM now at scrap price.
The fence and hand wheels etc are worth more than the asking price.

Thanks H. But I have no intention of becoming a Wadkin parts dealer . I only bough the CK for a few parts - but I felt embarrassed buying the whole machine, and then asking the seller to send me just 6 handles, so I thought I'd offer parts here.

I've just been offered another CK - complete and probably in working order - for just $70. I don't want it, don't need it, don't have room for it. But I know someone who does. Camoz - you have a PM .

Cheers, Vann.

Vann,

Oh come on!!! I'm building a boat as we speak...lol. For $70, or even some of the other prices they seem to be selling for in NZ, I would consider investigating the freight costs, but I'm guessing they are not going to be cheap, anyone have any experience with this?? Something tells me I am dreaming.

No PM from you Vann, don't tease...lol

Cheers,

It's in my "sent" box. I've just re-sent it. Offer on CK expires in 6 hours - if you're game to try shipping it from NZ (Jack and Arthur have shipped several Wadkins from UK to Canada/USA).

Oh, I did reply to your last message, but through my email, so sent it back to the woodwork forum, sorry administrators and moderators.

OK sent you a reply, this time to your email address.

Thanks for the heads up on the CK, I think logistically it won't work out for me, given it's the weekend, I'm unlikely to be able to arrange transport even if SWMBO would allow me to take the time this weekend to try. I think I need to look into what needs to occur to transport between NZ and Australia and be prepared for the next time, especially if those are the going price.

Cheers,

Sion, don't apologize, it is probably just small things like the handle mounted on the motor, the round knob for the brake, that sort of thing.
On monday I will be picking up another that has a air operated ram, I think it need major work so I'll let you know, probably do a post on it.
Here's the post on the canadian forum Rob started when we picked up the first CD.

Matty, if you don't have any luck with Sions parts, and if the handle is the same as the one on my parts CK, please get in contact.

Cheers, Vann.
