Grateful for any advice about blade setting for my newly acquired Wadkin BAOS planer thicknesser.
Fortunately it came with the blade setting tool, but no spanner for blade adjustment.
Please can anyone tell me what size spanner I need to undo the bolts which hold the blades in place? I measured the bolt at 16mm (ish), but wanted to be sure.
The manual shows that the bolts are M8, but doesn't give the size of the spanner required. I think I will need to grind down a spanner to get into the narrow gap, and I need to know what size is best to use please, or even better, where to get one if they are available off the shelf.
I just spoke to someone at Daltons who was helpful, but didn't know.
Thanks for any help.
