Hi Dave, That's brilliant thank you - much appreciated. Eddie

Hi All, Just managed to get an original rip fence and rails for my AGS10 saw but unfortunately the spacers are missing. Looking at the manual the part number is A-1026/51 and listed as "fence slide bar distance piece". I've taken some measurements from the rails and it looks like a plain...

Hi, Thinking of doing a partial assembly as I'm using dados for the shelving. Plan is to fit and glue the shelves to the cabinet sides, with possibly the tops and bottoms also fitted. Basically shelves installed with no front or back on the cabinets. Hoping this makes it easier to spray the...

Hi All, Currently building a free standing bookcase display unit for a client. The overall length is 2.5 metres and the height is 2.2 metres. The whole bookcase is made up of four units. I'm using MR MDF which will be painted or sprayed. Is it better to construct the units and then paint...

Hi, I've just fitted the Incra LS32TSM system to a Wadkin AGS 10". Still early days, but so far very happy with the set-up. Thanks, Eddie

Hi, Turned out that the small bolts are to set the stop for the rise on the table. Does anyone know a good place to source reasonably priced shim stock or slotted shims for leveling the outfeed table? Cheers, Eddie

Hi All, Here's some photos. After a bit of a clean up it looks like it some form of adjuster as the top takes a hek key that can be locked of by the nut. Anyone know if these take up the play in the dovetailed ways and help to level the tables? Thanks, Eddie

Hi, Thanks for the tip on the feeler gauges. Just shelled out on a Veriitas aluminum straightedge to do the job. So will look at the outfeed table when it arrives. Does anyone have an exploded view of the Wadkin BFT 12"? I found one for the 9", but not the 12". The reason for asking is...

Hi All, Just in the process of setting up a recently brought Wadkin BFT 12" planer. The cutter block has been removed and new bearings installed. I'll install the cutter block one the tables are coplanar. I've removed the tables for cleaning and they are now ready to be installed and...

Hi, Thanks for the great advice. Used an old fly wheel puller and the pulley wheel came of easily. Have also removed the key and stored it in a safe place. Just need to pull of the bearing and housing. Hopefully without to much effort. Thanks again, Eddie

Hi All, Currently in the process of cleaning up a Wadkin Bursgreen 12" BFT planer and would like to replace the bearings. However I cannot see or workout how to remove the cutterblock pulley. I can see in the manual that the pulley is listed as a spare part so would imagine it should be...
