Wadkin weight

[Nev Hallam]

Anyone know roughly the weight of a Wadkin AG10 table saw?

My copy of the manual says:

" 392lbs net, 514lbs gross"

That would be 178kg, 233kg in Systeme Internationale.

PS I reckon the difference is the packing case weight. I seem to remember D.B. Keighley's ads, quoting 400lbs as standard.

My BRT10 (basically an AGS10 with a sliding table) is heavy. It can be dragged around or 'walked' with two people. I had access to a small forklift and pallet truck to move mine when I bought it.

The things are to make sure the floor is man enough to hold it. Also the difficulty in moving/manoeuvring it. It can be dismantled - table, wings, motor, top/bottom of base so moving a part at a time is possible. To lift it you'd need 4 strong blokes.

There not to bad, I drag mine around the WS, no problem.

Perfect, guessed about this weight, I just needed to buy some toggle clamps for my mobile base, I needed the weight info to know which toggle clamp to buy.
My Sedgwick planers going to be a whole other ball game!
If your interested this was the design idea I used for my base.

Cheers Nev. I had saved old PB's design a while back, but I have had no luck in either restoring my own decrepid AGS nor making a base for it yet. Family upsets have been thick and fast recently and I haven't sliced a wood fibre in anger for 6 months...If you can, post up a few photaes and I'll get a lot of vicarious enjoyment from them!
