used a wood cutting 2 flute 1/2" straight carbide bit. I was going to use an end mill but thought it would be less grabby. After the first cut i turned the speed up a bit and the cut improved big time. I was taking about .025 cuts with great control. the bit is still good after cutting the iron...

The Wadkin trenching head is there version of the NA stacked dado. More like a tenon head though with bolt on knifes 1/2" thick. I first saw one in a wadkin tooling catalog Matty had and was intrigued. Than Matty told he had one and it was scary. When Matty tells you tooling is scary you best...

I move the 30 " Wadkin DR band saw to the mill shop today. I have had this saw in the bench shop for a year now. I had rebuilt this last winter and had changed my mind as to it being in the Bench shop. I ended up putting the Bursgreen MF in the bench shop for finer work.today I put the table on...
