Hi everyone,
I bought a Myford ML8 about 30 years ago, and it came with a circular saw attachment. This fits over the bed and has all guards, together with table and rip fence. Unfortunately I do not have the arbor that fits on the spindle nose and holds the blade (which is also missing, but easily replaceable). Also the rip fence has a crack in it.

Does anyone have any idea of what this may be worth? It seems a shame to just leave it unused in my shed (for another 30 years?)
I am not trying to bypass forum regulations here, I just want to know if it's worth selling or whether it's junk.

I have also acquired an incomplete Arcoy dovetailer - no guide bar(?) or means of holding the cutter, just the parts that hold the timber and the G clamps that hold the thing to he bench. It's a solid bit of kit. Does anyone know if parts are available for these, or is anyone in need of the parts that I have? If not I may be able to adapt it to some sort of dowelling frame.

What something is worth is a difficult question - depends on the timely existence of a buyer! Probably best to just look on the 'bay, as these items do turn up from time to time. But at a guess, you'd be unlucky to get less than a tenner for it, but VERY lucky to break £50.

Don't think anyone does anything with Arcoys any more. They were useful in their day, but always tended to suffer from tearout as the cutting speed from a drill was just too low. AFAIK, the bearings in the cutter holder won't take the speed of a modern router, though it would be interesting to know if anyone has done it successfully.
