Anyone used a radial arm saw for ripping lengths of timber

[fobco]

I have a three-phase round arm Wadkin BRA. Although I have a rare riving knife (for some reason best known to eBay I bought two of them!). But I have only ever used it for crosscutting, with a negative rake Atkinson Walker blade. I've set it up for a precise 90 degree cut, since that is mostly what I need it for. I recently put 10cm thick oak through it, 40cm cross cut - and it went through it like cutting butter, absolutely no hint of lack of control. It is a hell of a good machine. You need some decent dust extraction though.

Anyone need a Wadkin riving knife? I have a spare one looking for a home.

Hi,Craig just read your message about wadkin bra do you still have the spare riving knife if so what are you asking and would you post to north London ,regards frank
