Well... If you do up the T110 to sell on... You're gonna need some form of replacement aren't ya?

Guineafowl21 wrote:Tenoning is another one, although I’ve found no better machine for small runs and quick setup than the Wadkin BRA, even with the normal saw blade fitted. I do end up wearing most of the waste, though. I wondered if some door-type brush strip would help with that?
Guineafowl21 wrote:The 110 arrived yesterday, and I’ve been giving it a rough clean up and general tinker - freeing up, missing bolts, etc. Note enormous cutter block:
It came with some tooling, another cutter block, 40mm bore with top hats. It was from a cooper’s so I guess these are for shaping the staves
Guineafowl21 wrote:The motor is 5.5hp, 415V delta, and all that power is transferred with a tiny 8mm wide belt. It could do with a new one - is it a special type?
Guineafowl21 wrote:Steff 34 rollers could do with replacement. It’s been wired so that power is only available when the spindle’s running - this means I can’t set the roller height to clamp the wood, then shoot the piece out to start the spindle. Would it be more normal to be able to run the feed separately from the spindle?
Guineafowl21 wrote:I’ve just noticed the 415V delta motor was running in star, meaning the machine would develop only 1/3 of the power and torque!
That means the 5.5hp machine is really giving out just under 2hp.

Guineafowl21 wrote:I find the workpiece sometimes drifts away from the fence when using the power feed, despite slewing it inwards and applying plenty of pressure. This could be because the rollers are hard and crusty. Is it best to align the middle roller with the cutterblock, or have the feeder more towards infeed or outfeed?

Another guy who would probably do it is Burt kwouk https://www.facebook.com/burt.kwouk1
I've been clearing loads of stuff from my workshop and found a pile of table rings. Most of them were for wadkin EQ but their is a couple of unknown ones. What size do you need. They werent daft money either at £25

Guineafowl21 wrote:Update: New rollers have transformed the power feed. Star-delta switch fitted. Fences put over the planer to true up. I’m starting to like the machine too much to sell it.
Guineafowl21 wrote:1. What dimension are we aiming for? I’d guess 30.00mm then sand back to an easy sliding fit, for which I’ll send on a 30mm spacer.
Guineafowl21 wrote:2. It’s drilled and tapped at the top, I think for a stabilising bearing for extra heavy work. Could I use an ordinary bolt and clamp washer, or should he make a new nut, 30mm by whatever pitch is already there?
3. I’ve got a DC brake ordered - would it be wise to use a locking spacer underneath whatever clamp we decide on? I was thinking a spacer with a roll pin that engages the vertical slots.
Trevanion wrote:So I’ve measured a few more shafts (6 in all!) with a micrometer, the Sedgwick SM3 and GW seem to be 29.90mm while the SM4II is 30mm exactly, the SCM and Felder moulders are also 30mm exactly. I suspect the SCM and Felder ones are cylindrically ground for high accuracy but a turned spindle should be accurate enough.
