    Sedgwick 571 vs Multico M

    Hi Niall, yes that's correct. I have seen similar to yours on a friend's newer one still. The vertical steel rod on mine is attached to the vertical fixed part of the machine rather than the motor housing. My motor housing has a piece in the casting that hits the stop. Photos attached. I plan...

    Sedgwick 571 vs Multico M

    Thanks Fitzroy, so it seems as though the earlier ones like mine had two sets of holes, then at some point Sedgwick started putting a third set in. Mine does not have the enclosure around the "chuck" area so would suggest it's earlier. Think I'll dare to drill and tap another set of holes...

    Sedgwick 571 vs Multico M

    Good afternoon all and thanks for allowing me to join the group today. I've been a bench joiner all my working life, employed for about 30 years with the luxury of a big workshop and lots of 3 phase machines, resaws, 4cutters, 3 spindles, separate thicknesser and surfaces etc. The last 8...
