Hi,
I have posted an add in the wanted section but I thought I should add a post here too as someone may have the facilities to help us.
We are looking for a large bandsaw (or resaw) for resawing largish baulks of spruce into smaller sections for laminations. Am thinking of something like a Wadkin but any similar robust machine would be considered. Three phase is available.
The machine is for the workshop of the DH-88 Comet 'Black Magic' restoration group at Derby Airfield. The Comet is an important historic aircraft and is being rebuilt to flying condition by a group of volunteers and professional aircraft engineers. If anyone wants to see more information about it go here: http://www.cometracer.co.uk
Please advise if you have or know of anything available.
Also, if there is anyone relatively local who could help with or has the facilities for wood machining please do contact me. Our problem at the moment is that we have a number of large baulks of Sitka Spruce, some up to 40 ft long which need to be machined into 3/8" and 1/2" sections and then scarfed and laminated into the top and bottom booms of the wing spars. Ideally we need to find someone with a band resaw to do the initial cuts.
regards
Colin
