Hello @MikeJhn . I appreciate your concern. The company I work for places H&S at the top of its priorities and we are encouraged to not perform any task if we do not feel it is safe. Rest assured I will not be doing anything with this machine until a) it is in working order and has been risk...
Thanks for the heads up regarding safety. When fully tightened the end of the threaded spindle is pretty much flush with the nut. I did some digging and found a copy of the manual for this machine. As you can see from the pics below there (once) was a dado set and you could cut up 1/2” wide so...

Actually. I have a few pics that might be interesting.
the first is of the hinges. I need to replace a couple as one is snapped and another is rusted to death. It would be nice to replace like for like but I have no idea if they are still made. Does anyone recognise the makers logo? I also...
