Wolfenden 10" Table Saw
Been looking at table saws in the 10" range and came across this old post: https://www.woodworkforums.com/f163/...g-table-166763
It was immediately appealing to me for a number of reasons:
1) It is old enough to tick the vintage box - don't have much love for new stuff
2) It looks like a good substitute for a Wadkin AGS
3) It has a router plate insert - On my list of '101 things I want to build' is a router table, but with this saw it has it built in - not bad!
4) It looks solid as a brick s...h....

Anyone have much experience with one? Or know of any up in around Brisbane?

I use to own the grey and red one until l sold it to my good friend Peter McBride "lightwood" who doesn't post here on this forum any more, which is a shame because he is a very knowledgeable fellow.
I had sellers regret when l sold it, because it was a very handy little saw, so l found another one in South Australia, which l still have.
These's little saws Charl are based on the US made delta unisaw and run the same tilt mechanism and outer body metal work, l think wolfenden cast their own top and fence.
Great little saw and actually a smaller foot print that a wadkin Bursgreen AGS.

AGS is in bits, has a both side wings and the sheet metal right hand extension table.
Also a sliding table from a BRT which could be adapted as the bolt spacing on long chrom rail are the same.
New pinion for the fence adjustment.
3 phase motor.
Delta Unisaw has made in USA on it, don’t know what this means.
Its stashed in the back but a few pics plus on of what it looks like together.
Enjoy

Thanks Henry - I think I have fallen in love with the Wolfenden. Some tabletop overhang would have been nice but not that big a deal given the space on the right where the router insert is.

Mmmmm, I like the AGS. Shame I'm in Melb.
