What could be nicer than having one Wadkin Bursgreen BRA?
Having Two !
One for docking to length and the other for trenching and halving or creating one off tenons and other stuff .
I got my first one 20 years back that was a Dewalt. Then later got the first BRA and cleaned it up . There is a bit of talk around the internet of how the radial arm saw is out of favour . I cant see how I could do without one .
The Second saw I got is an extended arm version so can cut roughly 700 wide . It was for sale in WA and I had it trucked over.
The only totally missing part was the height rise and fall handle.
I'm mounting these saws together and will show that later .
This is the handle repair .
I spotted a guy in the UK breaking down a BRA for parts . Brucekenethdesign on instagram . And after making freinds, asked if he would be interested in selling any parts. like the winding handle on top . He said it was half gone . I said Id take it " Please " and Id do a repair on it .
The first picture is how I used to have the saw set up .
The new saw is the one on the right . and it came with a blue plastic handle.
