The moment has finally come when I realise I need to sort out dust extraction in my workshop (serious, but non-professional use only) before the hamsters move in! Can anyone give me any suggestions on what I should be looking for; I'll probably look to buy something second hand - but it's not...

Hi, I'm looking for a crown guard (or a restoration project that once was a crown guard) for a Wadkin PK (ideally) or PP (maybe more realistic) dimension saw. I'm missing the whole assembly (vertical pillar, horizontal arm, and guard). I have a reasonably equipped workshop so can easily make...
