I couldn’t find anybody who would cover mine for a reasonable price (timber frame, close to a river etc.) other than Blackfriars Insurance Brokers - Chartered Insurance Brokers in the UK

I'm lucky enough to have a proper 3 phase supply so no issues with powering it. Depth of cut is about 6.5" which sadly isn't quite enough for some of the timber I have to cut.

I've never had any issues ripping with a RAS either. Really small bits of timber can be tricky but anything with a bit of weight is fine.

It's a 3 phase motor. It's like this one: http://www.exchangemachines.com/product.php?id=339

I've recently bought an old 20" Wilson rip saw which seems like a nice machine. Does anybody know where I could get hold of a manual for it? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the suggestion. I gave them a try and they couldn't cover either. It seems their insurance is more product liability based rather than buildings insurance. Its possible I could use their contents insurance and get buildings insurance elsewhere but even that is proving tricky. Any...

Thanks for the replies so far. The fact it isn't a business seems to rule out business insurance and the fact it isn't next to my house rules out domestic insurance. I'll give a broker a go.

Hi, I'm buying a former commercial premises for use as a private workshop. Does anybody have any recommendations for insurance, both buildings and contents. So far nobody is interested. I've tried NFU, direct line and Swinton are still thinking about it! Thanks for your help.

I bought the 'worked' hinges from Pastiron and for the price I think they are pretty good and compare reasonably well with 'proper' old T hinges I have. Their D handles are very good.

These people are good: http://www.pastiron.co.uk/index.asp

You could try East Brothers in West Dean. They prefer large orders but will sell small amounts if you give advanced notice. Prices are pretty good.

If you are still looking for a manual PM me your email address as I have a scanned copy somebody on the forum sent to me.

misterfish, thanks very much. I've just downloaded it. Just what I was looking for. Malcolm, thanks very much for bring yours home to scan.

I've followed up all the leads to here an nobody seems on have a copy. Just thought I'd post again in case anybody has one on their computer they could send. Thanks

John Thanks very much for the offer. I'll wait a couple of days to see if anybody has one already scanned. If not, I'll send you a PM. Adrian
