Yes indeed, unfortunately I don't know what model it is (BN maybe?) but I have seen a few others like it with either plain or ball bearings, this is the first though I've noticed with any of the...

Very classy, I learned about these when one appeared on ebay very soon after I had converted a robinson cadet to hydraulic to save my arm. Since then Ive seen a couple more, but not for the sort of...

All very lovely machines, I do like to see stuff from Haighs, their machines dont seem to appear very often. i would like to see that nice planer at the Kauri museum hopefully one day too, looks...

It might be nice to put one of those little laser sight line things in there.

That's a very cool thing Jack, i thought the quarter inch hollow chisel was delicate enough, especially in my hands. I don't quite understand the .54 pitch chain, that seems a very curious number to...

That Sanson is lovely, I remember that being discussed on here a while ago; its got the look of the early type optional handraulic power machines. In that picture it doesn't look like there is a...

That is a beautiful machine.

Lovely machine Matty, and that early catalogue is a treasure, what power machine is it describing? I'm not sure about plugging 7 1/2Hp into an ordinary light socket.

Raymond, I have had that same thing done and it was really annoying, I didn't try to resolve it in that case but I do have a little experience that might not be entirely appropriate to your problem...

Yes please! Can you store it for me until I can bring the boat over to collect it? How is it that your side of the rock keeps turning up this stuff, yet here where a fair bit of stuff was made at one...

Another fine looking bandsaw on this forum in recent weeks. Congratulations! For lifting, you could always have a go with this method, only 1 person required:

I don't have any pics of the...

Another one from Stenner on the ebay in UK at the moment, second time around for this one; the seller calls this one a 'stunner saw':

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stenner-Saw-/171942065240?

Not...

Sorry, forgot to mention, that was UK Pounds.

Raymond, on the Canadian forum we did recently learn what it cost to have a Wadkin Thicknesser shipped door to door from England to Canada - roughly a grand and a bit on ...

Nice story Vann; I have never seen or heard of a machine by B R Rowland, that grinder is a fine thing, I do hope it finds the right home. By silent auction do you mean sealed bids? Called an auction...

What a machine! No mention of any attachments though, which I think it ought to have a compliment of for that money. I'll go and get it for you next week Camo, if you want it. Tempted?

Lovely bandsaw there Vann, congratulations! Maybe needs to go in Mattys' thread too?

Are the towing laws for brakes on the trailer much different in Australia than the UK? Here we can tow 750Kg...

Lovely machine, wasn't that bandsaw at an auction that was posted about on here a good while ago?

I think alot depends on how you intend to offload it and handle it your end, a bandsaw is a bit of an intimidating load, they look so unstable even when they are on a concrete floor. I would suggest...

Fantastic progress Matty, very impressed with your welding job; quite an inspiration. I would have probably spent about 2 years thinking about tackling that and still not pluck up the courage to...

Lovely machine Matty, love the concentric handles, that is a nice touch! Bit of a bugger about the table being cracked though, has it distorted at all?

I do agree Matty, they do occur from time to time, however, recently there seems to be a bit of a dirth of the sort of sizes I am looking for. I need a 1" + size quite soon, and I noticed the listing...

I'm wondering about trying these soon, i see they offer upto 1 1/2" too. Has anybody else pushed the button on a set yet? It would be nice to know if they are made from cheese before wasting the £100...

Looks like a good haul of bits to me, are those bearings 'FG3400'?

That second Cooksley has some features quite similar to an Oliver (of Manchester) radial arm saw. I have seen Cooksley badges on different makes of machines, and I wonder how much they were actually...

Lovely film, an hour well spent watching that. Thanks for posting! I'd like to have a go at making a trough like that one day.

Matty, very sorry I didn't realize you were short of parts for your saw, there's still quite a bit of the CD here though, please send a pm and list your needed parts, also quite a few small bits seem...

Matt, I may have your hand lever, i've been quietly breaking a Wadkin CD and pushing the parts off on ebay uk; it has a very similar looking lever, also I have a Wadkin CC to break too, very rusty...

That is a special machine, one for you Matty, perhaps? That would look really nice near your planer/matcher...

That is such a beautiful machine, machinery from the US in that period is often so elegant. What a dream find, and still a very relevant machine today, very much looking forward to seeing more of it.

Looking forward to the pictures, sounds amazing!

Wow, that's a rare beast! I like to see Haigh machines, anything of their name seems to be few and far between. I think they were big makers in their time but the traces have all but vanished. It...

Thats a rare goose, very nice. Quite a price though for a rusty machine at $2000? The pics from the ad for the future:

Hugh,
I've not been able to give the computer full attention recently, so apologies for a slow response to your query this time. Here's a photo of my machine in the disengaged position:

Yes I do mean that. That I believe is 2 cast iron parts, forming a cone clutch assembly, probably locked together with the addition of a little bit of rust. If you study your picture, the flat belt...

There is another post on here containing a Wilson morticer like yours:

https://www.woodworkforums.com/143920-stenner/

In your 4th an 6th pictures you have the driven pulley/cone clutch assembly...

What you have there is identical to a Wilson Morticer I have here. I think the problem component in your assortment of parts is the driven pulley, it contains a cone clutch mechanism which needs only...

Here is one on ebay uk to compare, i imagine a little later in design as its got a gearbox headstock.

Excellent Camo! I can't help with any of your queries, but i am intrigued by that pendulum table mechanism, i have never seen that before and it must be a great way of keeping the work moving over...

I'm still bringing machines home at the moment, should all be back here by the end of this weekend hopefully.
I don't think Kevin McCloud and i would get on too well...:((:bricks:

When you strip it down you may find this has already been done, and has perhaps got out of place, or maybe the slides have been slack at some point and grime and shavings have built up on them which...

I forgot to say that maybe the tables aren't as flat as you might expect them to be, just to throw another potential problem in there...

I think the row of three screws with locknuts on each slide will just tighten the 'jib' strip to remove all slack/play from the table slides, and are not used to alter the tables' attitude relative...

I can't really help you with valuation as i'm on the wrong continent, but if it was here in the uk i think i would expect to get it at auction (ebay) for around £200 or maybe a little less. Probably...

That is a stout looking lathe and one i would be very pleased with if i had picked it up. You have the two chucks which fit which is a huge bonus. Its very easy over here to pick up any old lathe for...

A traditional style home with traditional machines is about my idea i think, i have got a bit carried away with the design, which isn't quite 'complete' in the drawing above, it is also to include a...

I visited a retired carenter/engineer recently who was making some fascinating stuff in his little 2 car garage, and he showed me his technique for cutting wood threads. He had a screwcutting lathe,...

For some time now I have been planning a new building, which will become our house for at least a short while. I have now collected enough Sagar machinery to build it entirely using machinery of...

Not sure if saws are she/he or maybe something else, but your restoration is looking fantastic, and sounding good too, love that spin down sound! A Very nice machine. Maybe i should be collecting...

Just having another look on New Zealands Trade Me website, and found this under Wadkin:
vintage wadkin saw | Trade Me
Looks to be a real oldie to me.

And i also found this little Wadkin...
