Hi there, Thanks for reply. Advice noted, Cheers 👍

Hi there, Thanks for that. BSW threads were found during maintenance & noted. Will grease up gearbox bits asap but all seems good on last inspection a couple of weeks ago. I’ve discovered it’s best to keep the gear oil level low like you advised. The drive-chains were replaced as they were well...

Hi there, Ok, both hoods would benefit from a ‘through-flow’ of air I reckon. I’ll look into it. Thanks 👍

UPDATE: Hi all, After some research it looks like the 2 x gearbox shaft covers don’t require seals & if some type of ‘O’ ring was fitted I can’t see them lasting long against the rotating shafts. Therefore I dropped the oil level to approximately 6mm below the bearings. This seems to have...

Hi, Not sure of the speed but I think the motor runs @ 2800 rpm? It’s geared down so the primary/main shaft may run at half of that? When it’s running the gear-oil is thrown no higher than the selector shaft at the top of the gearbox. I’ll probably be posting further on this so I’ll upload a...

Hello again all, Removed the pulley & sprocket etc today to investigate this Dominion DAA oil-seal issue. Looks like the two bearing covers which the 2 x gearbox shafts pass through are grooved for a type of O-ring seal? No evidence of any worn-out existing seals though. The opposite end of the...

Nice work! Looks great 👍

Thanks Deema. I’ll investigate further then & I’m hoping it’s possible to change the seals without a full strip down job. This one’s travelled a little too. Recently imported to Polska from Jersey UK. Thanks 👍

Hello all, I have recently purchased a Dominion DAA planer/thicknesser which is undergoing maintenance & small refurb jobs before being put to work. Can anyone on here confirm if the 2 x shafts in the gearbox have oil seals? The box was almost empty when I bought it which pointed towards an oil...

Hi Deema. Yes, I knew about the locating pins thankfully. The tables are off at the moment but due back on later today actually. You’re obviously ‘in the know’ about these machines. Would the two shafts in the gearbox for the Brammer belt & drive-chain pulleys have oil seals? Refilled the box up...

Nice work 👍 ! Great to see older cast-iron machines like this Wadkin restored. They really are quality engineering. I’m discovering this with my recently purchased Dominion DAA which is undergoing a bit of TLC.

I bought a used 110v Makita 2012 approx ten years ago. Mainly for site use but occasional workshop duty when a machine is down. Only ever had to put fresh cutters in it. Brilliant machine 👍

Hi there. I’ll make anything as required really. Started work in a joinery manufacturing company in the mid-eighties then got into on-site/installation stuff. Built a bit of a workshop up over the last few years but kept the installation side going as well. Mainly built-in units & bookcases etc...

Hi all. Just joined yesterday. Great site & good for reference on all sorts of wood & workshop subjects. Skilled Carpenter/Joiner. Worked in UK (mainly North-West), Jersey C.I. & now recently based in South East Poland. Run a few wood machines in my new workshop. Including: Multico TM tenoner...

Good evening all. I’m new on here so “hello” to everyone & I’ll fire right-in with my first post: Anyone on here familiar with the Dominion DAA planer & thicknesser machines? Just purchased a 16” x 9” which I estimate to be an early eighties model. I received no manuals etc with it. I’ve just...
