Thanks Scrit... Your a walking history book. Sounds like the old Wadkin empire were busy little beavers. I had no idea that they were scattered about like that. The old US Oliver plant was in the same old building since it was finished about 1900 something and never moved. The Eagle...

Hello... This thread is in reference to my growning wadkin table saw problem. Does anyone out there know anything about a company by the name of BTH? I think they made stator and rotor sets for direct drive table saws. I need to find out more about the direct drive stator and rotor used in...

Hi Monica... This is hard for me to advise since I am quite a distance away. But the guys making it here in the States have to run LEAN, MEAN and GREEN. LEAN means trim every expense down its bare minimum. Dont buy new machines. Restore old iron purchased from branrupcy auctions and restore...

Shipping is a confusing business and I dont want to spoil my secrets. But isnt china and hong kong getting pretty near new zealand? Hmmm, wal-mart (also known as wally world) seems to know the tricks too. :P By the way, any word on that part's machine? That is one avenue I can go down too...

Hmmm, I see this got moved to general chat. I did not post this question to find out how to run vacuum cleaners or tooth brushes. I am interested in how english made woodworking machines run and what you guys over there are doing to get the heavy iron running in your shop. Over here, many of...

Thanks Phil... Email me or PM me about the various PKs you have identified. I am still trying to figure out the various details on this saw. I did not know they even come with some form of outrigger until I found a photo of it. Why the PK? No other reason then I like its shape and design...

I am wondering about the voltages used over there. I am accross the pond and use a phase converter so I have 240 volts three phase. I also have a used 30 KVA three phase transformer to get me 440 volts three phase. My shop is looking more like Dr. Frankenstien's lab! So what are the standard...

Yes, I have also emailed Scott Sargent regarding this one. It was sold. But I had not seen the photos until now and was even taken more aback by the fact that it sold on ebay. Lastly, it turns out to be a PK with the optional outrigger table. Just too cool. What can I say.... I love norris...

Hello fellow woodworkers. This is my first general post and I am new. I am the IronMonger. I took my name from one of my favorate woodworkers of all time. Jim Kingshot. He was fond of using that term to describe the guys who sell metal hand planes like the norris. Jim is no longer with us...

Hello... I am new to this site and its pretty cool. I am sitting in the middle of the US and my toaster is talking you you guys in england. How Cool! At any rate, I love to collect and fixup old woodworking machines as well as use them. I dont really like the new stuff. So I need your...
