Table saw out feed table

[Hardwood66]

I'm sure I've read done there a legal requirement to have an out feed table

In industry, yess, there is a minimum distance behind the blade. 1.2m, IIRC. It's so that a helper, taking stuff off the end, can't lean over and fall onto the blade.
These rules don't apply in the home workshop, but that doesn't mean it's not a good idea not to follow them.

Have you gave any thought to changing to a more modern saw which will have a smaller footprint but which has fold down extensions as well as a scoring blade
Wouldnt blame you if you hadn't but there is always that option

URRR more modern vs Wadkin. Nope hadn't crossed my mind changing for a machine with a smaller foot print. If I was to change it would be for a saw with a bigger footprint and bigger premises. The Wadkin is such a versatile machine with its sliding carage and the mechanics are amazing.

Not sure where a one man band stands with HSE here.

Erm, I thought I had! Obviously not clearly enough!
But thanks for the rec. It is, as you say, Brilliant. Unfortunately I can't take the credit, I'm pretty sure I saw it years ago in a FWW Readers' Tip. Or somesuch, anyway. Sadly not one of my (otherwise always brilliant) ideas.
