Wadkin help please?

[Green]

I need to strip this thing down so I can safely get it home and start refurbing it.

I already have the guards, motor and pressed steel stand removed but am having trouble removing the infeed/outfeed tables. This model doesn't have the sliding dovetails on the underside of the tables (it has two round bars held in place with allen cap screws) and I cant see any obvious bolts anywhere under the tables either. Are they maybe located inside the main body? I haven't been able to check this yet (too heavy).

Any other information on this model would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Green,

There is a PDF manual here on the Wadkin site.

Looks like a useful machine, can I ask how you came by it and the cost? Me green of course. :mrgreen: It looks better than the Multico that shares my shop with my Wadkin AGS table saw.

Thanks Dave

I think I can see what im looking for now.

The Wadkin cost me nothing. It has been sitting in the corner at work for over a decade largely unused. We are moving to a smaller workshop and dont have the room to take all our 'junk' with us.
I used to use this machine on a daily basis about ten years ago before I left to work somewhere else. I think it has sat there ever since as the company has moved into a different market and we no longer use wood in our products.


Cheers

Dont think I will get round to fixin her up for a while though, too many other things on the list and the funds are tight to say the least
