Thanks, not sure why some Copy & Paste work while others don't.

I corrected the year to 1928

Sorry, I just did a copy & paste and on my pc the pics looked great, I didn't realize no one else could see them, that's a shame because I thought it was a quick way of getting big pic's posted.

Sorry Vann this is in OZ not NZ

The seller of the ME on FB, found the TAG it was is it's correct location based on the other ME's we have pictures of

Vann,

Looking at your list you don't seem to have this Tag

537305

And it lives in NZ

The seller sent me a pic of the electric motor Tag, so I went back to them to see if they could find where the Wadkin Tag might have been, Andy's ME Tag is in the same position as the one I posted,...

Vann, This is a pic of the Tag, it's on your list but this one must be an identical twin because the one on your list lives in the UK :)

Your Red arrow points to the raised Wadkin lettering, the below pic shows what I mean

The guy I bought it from was in his late 70's and he told me it was his Dad's plane from when he was an apprentice, so well before 1972.

I have asked the seller for you, lets see if they respond

Looks complete just needs a replacement stock clamp, I have a spare one from an MF

Not sure what commands you have in Sketchup, but in AutoCAD for lines you can use the offset command and for objects (blocks) you can just copy them in any direction by a set distance.

If your looking at a benchtop machine then I assume you are more of a hobby woodworker, so because you can turn those cutters 4 times, they should last you for quite a few years.

Not seen those on an MA before :U I think the rust remover would be good and then treat it with a sealing spray to prevent flash rusting, for the sharpening do you have a diamond flat stone or Card

It's made in England, but if it was a US plane wouldn't it need to be Blue in colour for it to be a Type 20?

I used to work for Osborn Steels at their Rutland Road works and the Stanley factory was just up the hill from me.

I have a few Stanley and Record planes, both firms...

It might be the case that with Wadkin Bursgreen Tags the first 2 numbers are the year of manufacture.

That Machine & Test Number are already on the list the year is 1951

So when you press the machine against a piece of stock does it not plunge forward until it hits the stop?

Your machine could be older, I got a pic from the front of that German machine and your fence is rounded at both ends where the German advertised one is square on the right side, does yours have the...

I had a quick look online and from the pic's I found your pic looks like the one for sale in Germany, so you have an identical machine with the same missing part?

Pic's of your machine would be...

If that part is missing get a metal worker (unless you can do it yourself) to mill a piece for you with a tapped hole in the back for a threaded rod, then get a wing nut (or nut and spanner) to...

It looks like the plastic corner insert has broken, if you release those 2 screws (one in each rail) then you will be able to remove the 2 halves that are broken, once removed you could replace them...

Not saying there's anything wrong with the workmanship, but I would have lost that curve by scribing in the plain backing tiles and kept the decorative pattern tiles symmetrical like the right hand...

In pic 3 I like the look off the right hand boarder better, the left-hand side would make me drink more alcohol :)

At 1000mm wide with no rises

F27 = 32mm
F22 = 34mm
F17 = 36mm
F11 = 40mm
F8 = 42mm
F5 = 46mm (H3 Treated pine)

Are they reclaimed tiles what pattern are they in?

Did the tiler say because of there size it would be easier to clean them once laid?

I don't have that type of itch, I like to restore old machines (and hand tools) because of their history, I think about the people who used them and how they achieved great quality work for very...

Doesn't really matter about the maker the quality looks good, so I would buy it

Not sure it would be a Try Square, they mention blade

Edit: I see in USA/OZ a Try Square tongue is called a Blade, so you are most likely correct.

Auscab, Why not ask the person in the FB post...

Someone may correct me, but Stanley changed the shape of their blades (Irons) over the years and some were square at the top and others were curved.

Reading this I am not sure the logic is totally correct in practise if the blade is say centre of the sole, then the plane would register first at the toe side and the blade would start to take a cut...

They are early bench mounted type RB's, which makes the photo of the Wadkin factory from the 1920's

I have read that the colour change from Gray to Green was down to a German trade show, so I thought I would ask the old Wadkin employee group and this was the response.
