• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Wlson saw: can’t find much about them. 14” blade, rip fence and no tilt. The blade is in excellent nick, and it and the DC brake are worth more than the saw itself. I might convert the motor to dual voltage and inverterise it. Not sure yet.

Wadkin (Bursgreen) planer: need to make a bridge guard, then a general tart-up and single phase conversion. it would make a very good planer for someone’s home shop.

Nice, you will have fun bringing them back to life. Is there something missing on the swing arm blade guard?

It’s been chewed a bit by the blade - or do you mean the guard rise/fall? I’ve had a quick look, but can’t see how it’s supposed to work. There’s a thread, but no way of turning it.

Do you have the saw table from the lh side? Good solid bits of kit. It will be interesting to see them after you have fettled them.

No, but at least it would be easy to fit a bit of ply for extra support. I’m not as nutty as Wallace, so it won’t be polished to show condition, just tidy and functional! I think it might appeal more to a commercial shop, lacking tilt, where it could be used as a dedicated big ripper. In which case, I should probably retain the 3ph and DC brake.

Noticed the chewed up guard, was wondering if there was something missing. Looking at Trevanion's post I can see that it is all there.
