Just asking for fun really, as I've no intention on getting another saw, but found these pics of what might be possibly affordable, and around Sedgwick money, though I did see Sedgewicks go for around 500 before, but not since. Obviously the SCM machines are another league altogether, regarding...

I'm in the process of slowly sorting my 275DS, I have a 3phase version running from VFD. What may be the most annoying thing about it is the fence. It may come loose all of a sudden, and I haven't got to the bottom of that. Some others have mentioned this also. Another thing about the fence is...

Good to hear from a users perspective, I see New Yorkshire workshop on YT, has something quite similar, though I'm not familiar with much else apart from the Italian machines. Possibly a random one, but worth noting if the same, but on some of the CE certified Italian machines, the tilt is...

By comparison, the first ilk of Centauro CO series seems readily adjustable, though not sure when they changed that, as google isn't the best these days. So bad, infact that I'm not even able to find a picture from the back of a CO 500 from this era. The older CO 600 So you'll have to make do...

Not bad price for 550, provided that 3 phase motor is a dual voltage one, so it can run on 240v with a VFD, see 240v stamped on the motor nameplate, then you know Could also mention it should be either 2 or 4 pole, i.e running at normal RPM's ala 1740 or 3000 (ish)... seeing as some Wadkin's are...

I'd suggest fleabay or gumtree to find a bargain. Since you mention resawing + guitars, one might get the impression of acoustics, so it might be worth looking into having a carbide blade. That choice is up to you, take a look at John Teneyck's posts, and once again worth noting that Grizzly...

No-one makes a pro level 14" saw, for good reason, the blades for resawing wouldn't like to bend around 14" wheels. Why limit yourself to that small of a wheel size? Here's some models which may be of interest, though a slight bit of emphasis on something larger than the 400mm wheel sizes...

I was under the impression most newer saws, than my early later model Startrite 275 had a left hand thread arbor nut. Not sure if Startrite changed this, but spares are available should they have done so, which I can only guess would still have the same arbor size, and take the same size blade.

It appears you might be able to get one cheaply, i.e unsure if Charnwood ones might work... https://charnwood.net/product/blade-locking-nut-for-laguna-table-saws/ Or perhaps Draper, SIP, or other big names might have spares.?

I've got a few old 4" angle grinders wot let the magic smoke out of, seems possibly a good application to use to shaft from... I was thinking they might be worth holding onto for a spindle sander before. Would need check if some possible nut adapter might be the ticket... I believe a common...

There's a lot to be said about a long, i.e 8 foot floating top, slim fire door etc... which can be stored upright. Make some nice trestles to support it, preferably something which allows for strechers, should the top sag, then a chok under that would sort it. The length of the longer top being...

It appears like those scratches are from suspended very course grit. Have you since got an idea of what the surface is like?

Or two benches which lock together.. It sounds for a very good option to me, nice foot stool saw horses to match too. Don't forget to install a sliding deadman! Perhaps the height might be the dealbreaker, but where there's a will... Introducing the Jack bench Though not sure how low it can go...

What we're seeing there is anticlastic curvature, a trick of the eye, as the blade needs feel that crown, whether one can see it or not. Cooks sawmill snippet to explain... I spent ages with that notion of flat tires being the spec, and documented dressing my tires with a flat profile in...

The lower wheel should to be co-planar for belt alignment, though to check that one needs to have faced wheels. I've mentioned the tolerance needed before for my 24" saw to check that, but haven't a clue what that is for a smaller machine, the scribing beam would tell all. It would also show the...

Not sure why you'd find argument there, but matching crowns for me please!

But seemingly very difficult for many to get a modern plane to work, like a well working vintage! The cost being the reason why most won't hone their cap iron at least 50deg or more. Those straight shavings are important if you wished to plane with the grain in rows, as per Charlesworth's hand...

Ne bother's, happily passed the time whilst keeping a post op wolfie wearing a lampshade, very still on the couch. Tom

I guess having the right machine for the job, might be seen as OTT?... That Grizzly 17" saw, being much much stouter than anything of that size whats ever been marketed here, with a chassis made from 4.5mm thick steel! so one would need jump to the stouter Italian flavour of 20" or something...

Not if you've got a Woodmaster CT, and a saw up to tensioning it! *other carbide tipped blades are available Some of John Teneyck's post's (his pics aren't held hostage by Creekers paywall) https://sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?299145-Slicing-Veneer-with-the-Amazing-Woodmaster-CT...
