By passable results I mean I seem to be removing metal okay. I wasn't sure of the hardness of these and was concerned I might need to use diamond plates (which I don't have) or send them away to be sharpened by a saw doctor. But it looks like some more elbow grease will get them sharp.
With two sets of trenching heads I have 8 knickers to sharpen.
Then I'll have to set them into the heads and see if my sharpening is good enough...

I'll post my attempt at making up a guard per - 登录 Facebook
WadkinBRA-Guard.jpg
For anyone making one up see picture for dimensions. From Andrew from the FB 'Wadkin appreciation group' ...
I was guessing at the dimensions and found a couple different sizes for factory guards online. Seems they were either 175mm or 206mm tall and the sides were 12, 44, or 50mm. I made mine 200mm tall and the bent sides are about 35mm. You can use the metal part on the blade guard to determine spacing of the grooves.
