    Wadkin BGS10…The rarest table saw Wadkin made. Full Restoration

    Yes it seems to align very well now I've closed the gap. I did wonder if the innards had been replaced as they didn't look age specific to the date on the plate. We might end up carefully sawing off those bits as using the slider to cut mitres is something I'd like to do. If it's already been...
