Early Wadkin Band saw development DR
in looking at this early DR design(looks to be plain bearing) I see the cranking table . anyone have a model ? I am under going a letter sequence study to add to Vann's thread. my speculation is models are develop in alphabetical order. my assumptions are that the first letter is Type/family ,second is model/size in that range , 3rd is drive type electric AC/DC line belt?
as a side I see a boss for a crank on My latter DR table
spoke wheels and no spring loaded upper guilds or rocker table stop. by the looks of this next one some of those features are added.

A good friend recently picked up this old Wadkin bandsaw, looks early enough to me and had a McPhersons badge as well.
We think that McPhersons may have done the motor conversion at some stage, the mounting brackets look typical of there early Macson Machines.
Jack as for the model identification, I'm not sure about any of it, my early catalogues state that the 24 inch is the DH
30 inch is the DN
36 inch is the DO
It states in the catalogues "A" was for Wadkin's electric- driven range, e.g. DNA

Hi Matty,
nice saw!
I see you are not the owner of a Robinson double or a Dominion combo
Jack,
I'll check under the table on my DR30 and post a pic if the mount is there.
Have fun,
Alli

I assume this was the one down in the Hastings scrapmetal yard? I saw it down there almost a year ago when I went to pick up my Robinson thicknesser. The guy with the thicknesser told me about it and took me to see it. I tried to buy it but the guy wanted more than I was prepared to pay. I do remember it looked good and pretty complete for such an old thing
