    Wadkin AGS10 refurb videeos

    My earlier post about a Fobco Star refurb led me to the same bloke doing a strip and refurb of an AGS 10 saw over 8 videos. It includes changing from 3 phase to single phase (as well as an electronic brake). Useful to see videos of all the stages. AGS10 video

    Dovetail jigs

    Most of the cheap dovelail jigs are very limited both in size and flexibility. Another option is a Leigh D4 series which is quite flexible and well engieered. These are often available second hand. If you look at some of The New Yankee Workshop episodes Norm Abram uses one quite frequently...
