Thanks jack. I have been trying to contact him through instagramo and email but i am not getting any response. I see they posted a picture of the operations manual on Instagram. It would be great to...

I assume this was the one down in the Hastings scrapmetal yard? I saw it down there almost a year ago when I went to pick up my Robinson thicknesser. The guy with the thicknesser told me about it and...

Where did you find this old bandsaw? Brilliant

Pete that's a great idea. I bet it would not be too hard to achieve. I will look into that. Thanks

Thanks bob. What you said is correct in reference to density and the like. It's exactly what I meant but I didn't really word it correctly. Glad you knew what I meant. The spiral cutter just makes...

Thanks to all those who have responded. I have checked for leaks, there are none. If I take bigger cuts the problem remains.

My theory is that the shavings (now in a much greater volume for a...

Hi all.

I have a cyclonic dust extractor. I made it from steel, exactly to the clearvue extractor plans. It has work brilliantly for the last 4 years.

Last week I fitted a 24" spiral cutter...

It is also possible I guess that this larger cast stop is from another Wadkin machine as this pattern mill came from the Toowoomba foundry and I recall seeing a Wadkin PK and a Wadkin RS in the same...

Hi Alli. Thanks for the response. I too think the smaller plate is a shop made version of the bigger plate as It has no numbers stamped on it.

If I could please have a copy of the tool catalogue...

Yes. Thanks. I have a copy of this exact manual but I have a feeling there must be at least two more manuals related to this machine as the above manual makes reference to one pertaining to aluminium...

Thanks!

I recently purchased a Wadkin WX pattern Miller but until some weeks ago it has been in disassembled and in storage.


I have been going through the cabinet of...

Hi. I have my 3 Wadkin machines that I would love to add to your list. At the moment I only have infomation on 2 but the Pk infomation will follow soon.

Wadkin pattern mill. WX250. Test No. 52626...

i too have a dr30 that i had to move. my advice if possible, is to remove the 3 large bolts that secure the top wheel and its adjustment mechanism to the main neck of the machine. firstly,its come...

thanks so much. it just happens to be the same versionn or series of saw too. unreal. thanks again.

would you be interested in selling the dr bandsaw manual? i just purchased a dr bandsaw 2 days ago.

thanks for posting this. a great help.

very interesting. still. i want that saw!

i was the second highest bidder on the pk saw. i am in melbourne and did not get a chance to look at it in person before the auctions end, I'm kicking myself for not bidding more.

Yeah when tapping, you use the manual feed with auto reverse. This way, the tap controls the rate of feed.

sorry stu im not quite sure what you are getting at? are you saying a should just get an inverter for each machine?

if i have to get one of those fancy 240 single phase to 415 3 phase inverters...

thanks for the heads up. for a second i thought you were talking about the drill company not the converter company. i will try them next week. if i can get an inverter that i can connect easily from...

i would get 3 phase installed but as my workshop is about 100 meters from the source and i have to pay for all that cable and also the re wiring and installation of a new power board, meter and sub...

thanks bryan. i would never buy new. i would probably get an old waldown. as i most do woodwork.

this drill has always been overkill for my use nut i love the look and feel of it.
if i cant...

i will try get a wiring diagram. but i think i am best to sell it and just get a drill that i can use straight out of the box. oh well! keep an eye out in the marketplace for this drill. it is...

go bryan! that sounds interesting...will that work?

i would really hate to sell it but i dont really have the space to keep it if i cant use it.

i would love a phase converter but at the moment they are too expensive for me to consider and i need...

i will be buying a vfd to run a thicknesser soon so i thought that would be useful to run the drill too, obviously not at the same time though.

aaaarrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!!!! any one want to make...

holy moly i had no idea it would be so complicated. i will really have to think about this.

the reverse feature is controlled electrically and works beautifully for tapping, this is where the...

thanks.

it is an amazing drill. very capable. the low speeds are great for boring huge holes in timber.

the motor is 4 speed and the gearbox is 2 speed, so 8 in total it also has an automatic...

thanks for all of the help guys.

i will try get some photos so you can see the situation. whilst the motor is mounted on top. it forms part of the casing so i cant change that.

the controller...

hello to all.

i have recently moved my workshop and no longer have 3 phase power so i wish to install a vsd to run my geared head drill, an 8 speed pollard corona.

the probem is that i don't...

thanks steve for the info. what sort of condition did you saw come in when you got it for that price. the seller wants more than 500 for it but says it is in execellent condition. do you think that...
