hi, im potentially interested in this machine. is it in working order? how many knives in the block? do you have a fork lift for loading onto transport? kind regards,

I managed to find some bareings for the motor... All £360 worth. I decided before i handed over my long number it would be worth. a second through check of the machine. I pumped the bearings with grease, now the play is imperceptible, its almost like it disapeared. I pulled the arbour flange...

Yes, my thoughts exactly re, trueing flange post bearing replacment. Im begining to wonder how the flange could have become misaligned and that maybe a stray offcut could have jammed the blade and forced the flange on the wonk. Of so perhaps a carfull tap could straighten it up. Hmmmm I really...

... they seem to stop me from lowering the 18" blade enough to put a sacrificial table liner thiny on and then break through with the saw running for zero clearance. These bolts look very clean and new, does anyone have these on their PK? And can you lower an 18" blade enough?

First of all, the arbour flange pin arrived in the post today so thankyou very much wallace! I cheked the spindle and am glad to say there is no run out in it. There is 0.05mm play in it though. So I think it sounds like I need new bearings. I was considering trying to true up the flange by...

Vann, the one you saw on ebay is the one i bought! I asumed it was a 9 on the tag and was corrected to an8 at the factory. Thanks for posting pictures of the stripped down sliding table bearings. They will be very usecul when i come to line the bearings up in mine. I think your suggestion of...

Hi Vann, threading a peice of rod was my next option but wallace has kindly put a spare one in the post for me. Unfortunatly I cant seem to upload any photos to the forum (I cant find a way to make the file sizes small enough) the late reads Machine: pk1380 test:39842 which from wallaces website...

Hi Walace, if i could have the pin that would be excellent. There is a brake fitted to the saw, I teporarily wired everything up yeasterday and the the brake stops the blade in about 3 seconds. Ive never seen a machine stop so quick. Also the nut was a little grimmy and when trying to retighten...

I recently bought a Wadkin PK and am keen to get it earning its keep asap. Ive noticed there is a hole in each plate on each arbour plate/washer but there is no sign of a locking pin anywhere. Are there any PK owners out there that have any idea if these saws originally came with a blade...

So here's my decision. I really like the water cooled sandstone wheel idea. I could get a second hand traditional sandstone wheel on eBay and attach a motor. But that will take a little bit of time to organise so in the meantime I'm looking into getting a CBN wheel. I have a few reservations...

I'm coming to the end of a project making a bed. My usual finish of choice is Danish oil so that's what I'd like to use. I am a little reserved about using it on the internal surfaces of the beds frame however because I know that some oils can become rancid in enclosed spaces such as linseed oil...

I sharpen my tools in the traditional way.first hollow grind the bulk of the material on the tormec or grinder and then sharpen just the very edge on stones free hand. With the tormec it's easy to dial in the exact angle and produce a very square edge and because it's water cooled I don't need...

Thanks for this I had wondered if these stones were worth upgrading to if a bought a tormec.

Thanks guys, I'll take a look at Kirunaslipen see if I can find a course stone for those grinders. Nice home made grinder heimlaga! I may considerd making a treadle version from a singer sewing machine and an old crank stone wheel... if I can find one. By the way, what is it you like about the...

Thanks myfordman. I have the bandsaw waiting for me to pick up so I'm not entirely sure of the 3phase motors wattage at present. I'm a little confused about the LSuffix you mention. Pardon my ignorance I'm pretty amature when it comes to electrical stuff. When you say I could go up in power but...

Hi all, I'm looking to purchase a watercooled bench grinder. I've used tormec alot in other workshops but feel it would be a lot quicker with a lower grit wheel it cuts pretty slowly compared to a traditional (non cooled) grinder. I only grind the primary bevel so I don't really need a smooth...

Anybody know where to get a Multico B400.3 bandsaw manual? I want to buy a single phase motor for it but not sure what wattage motor to look for.
