Well I've got it mounted on the bench, fixed a triangular file into it, played with the adjustments and lo and behold when pulling the lever back and forth the file is lifted, the blade is indexed one tooth right, the file lowered and file engages a gullet. The apparent 'clamp' on picture 4 is...

It may be based on the Crescent, but doesn't match any on the owwm site. The head arrangement is also markedly different.

No, no names or clues in the part detected so far! A few photos of the band saw that I've bought: And some of the apparently identical one on ebay ending tomorrow:

I recently bought this on a well know auction site as a suspected band saw blade sharpener. I bought it just to see if it was (!!) and I suspect that it is, but does anyone recognise it? Same place was selling all sorts of ancient woodworking and blacksmithing equipment, including an A L Dalton...

Definately a job for a chainsaw. Take but a few minutes. Mind you, when we laid our arched bridge over the stream here on the farm using ' oak crossing sleepers' (longer than usual 8'6" railway sleepers) I had to sharpen the chain twice trimming the ends off 20 sleepers to cut them back to a...

I didn't do it for sale - I did it for my own use so prices are rather irrevelant, but if you look at the individual machine that it comprises, what would you pay for a 16" x9" planer thicknesser, a 20" bench saw and a 14" radial arm saw? Each item unbolts from its plinth and with a bit of...

Wouldn't be possible without my forklift truck - an essential piece of kit if you have big toys!

Along with my Dominion Super Elliot combination woodworking machine I acquired quite a few circular saw blades. Several are what I would call conventional, ie either a normal blade or a carbide tipped blade, but some are quite different. They have radial cuts for maybe 1/3 of the radius between...

Well I'm just finishing a rebuild of the 'Supreme Elliot" 16x9 combination woodworker shown in the pamphlet in the post above - all 1.6 tons of it! All I'm missing now is the white coat the bloke is wearing, though perhaps it's "blokes in white coats to take me away" that I need!

Having done my barn, and a large chicken shed last year in shiplap the answer is more than you think! Obviously you have to allow for the overlap of the lap itself, but also it's amazing how often the board isn't quite long enough to reach the next stud that you have to fix to, and also it...

I'm burning Hornbeam on my wood burner at the moment - I'm sure there's a suitable log in the wood store that you can have. I'm only down the A21 in TN33 0RG email me at andrew(at)mawson(dot)org(dot)uk if you want to try your luck as I don't visit this forum very often. Just felled a Yew if...

Well thanks to Tim I am now in touch with the owner in Fowey and am acquiring a few bits to complete mine. It seems from further investigation Dominion at one time were buying these machines back and refurbishing them, and making minor alterations, and mine is one of those that were revamped...

Gnashing of teeth. !!!! I've just brought home the identical machine but in need of significant restoration, definately a project. It's a Dominion Elliot Supreme 16". I would be interested to speak to your contact to compare notes, and if he is scrapping it acquiring the odds and sods. AWEM
