Have been using a '1013 for more than 5 years with no real probs - had to shim a dummy fence ( have seen this mod on most properly set up scms ) to correct the indexing but thats about it, the dust bag is a joke, but is fairly tidy if is plumbed to a vac.It still runs true and will cut to...

From the photo it looks like the wedge has been cut short - leaving the contact area small and only farther up the blade Try cutting a new wedge,where the taper ends considerably deeper into the block :)

Bought from these guys recently http://www.blickle.co.uk/ good kit , website is awkward to navigate but worth the effort

either will handle the job as long as you take light passes , remember they are primarily portable site tools and definately lightly built , as far as I am aware there is the option for TCT with the makita , which may pay dividends unless you have the facility for sharpening blades of that size...

Not sure of this model , but be wary - some HSS disposables are marketed as "resharpenable" as they can be honed apparently - very misleading Salvage

I'd also be interested - need to know some prices

Nope you'll need to knock up an adapter plate(s) as the footprint of the makita is wider than the dewalt's mountings , also the bed height is higher on the makita so if your adapter plate is too thick the work supports will not extend high enough and will also require extending , (a bit of ally...

Columbian Pine ? If it appears disproportionally heavy

if the feed mechanism is definitely working, another issue that could have been overlooked - is your extractor clearing the chips effectively ? its possible that the chips could be wedging against the outfeed roller and stalling the feed

Still have one of these brackets kicking around somewhere Chocolate teapot is all I can say ......

Scheppach Planer knife jig is NOT directly compatible but is easily modified and IMHO is worth the the trouble of converting -( I posted a while ago about the process of adapting it)

Agree with all above posters - Dragon Saws - top notch :D

Just in the process of consolidating my workshop and now have a Dewalt 733 12" thicknesser thats surplus to requirements , its well used but working fine and comes with 2 spare sets of blades (which will require sharpening ) I'm open to offers and could be coerced into a trade for something...

I have a cooksley spindle moulder , but dont know the history of the company - i'm sure some here could be more help As far as I understand Cooksley manufactured light industrial machines not quite the quality of say Wadkin but by modern standards still well built If it stands up to close...

Not sure of the question dicktimber Are you asking a question relating to wear or use ? As a couple of posters have said- through using your saw you should be able to gauge when resistance to cutting is reaching unacceptable/unsafe limits and/or see that the quality of the cut falls below...

smallangryboy: I took a look at your website and your designs certainly have visual appeal and I'm assuming have the ability to reproduce sound to a quality acceptable to all but the most obsessive audiophiles (which in my experience are never truly satisfied ). I'm not in a position to offer...

Just planked some ELM and it certainly looks like the culprit :D
