Thread: Wadkin PK - Can I fit a Single Phase Motor to a wadkin pk table saw?

Thank you my friend, i,m a grapgic designer , done building work, done woodwork, hates london and now wants to make real things that exist, so i,m ll ears. My shop space would be 2.8m wide , with 9 meters of lenth. Would that be wide enough to fit a BGP ? They seem very cheap here, I looked but thought there would be no room, but hey, who needs room when you have a Wadkin to cuddle !!!

The Wadkin Bursgreen BGS was sort of not one thing or the other.
A BGP might be worth thinking about.
The long bars the table slides on can be pushed out of the way for working on solid stock.
Ive worked at 2 places with these and they whilst neither a panel saw nor a dimension saw sort of work ok.
Out here you can't give them away.
Single phase is easy also.
