Rebuilding My Old Table Saw (FULL EDIT) Wadkin AGS 10"
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- I fully restored this old saw to better than new. I made DIY under dust extraction and over dust extraction, with some extra improvements to aid flow and bring the saw into the 21st century.
I also upgraded the motor to 2.2 kW (3 HP) That's not without its problems.
Every nut and bolt was worked on, with a proper paint job!

Posting this cause some might like a nice long vid like me... Short vids please the algorithm pffft!
C'mon Ben, get on to those YT shorts🤣 Can't stand them either.
Long format is now favored as of recently, hope you continue to make more like this.
@@Mike-dn4ju I often don’t watch peeps video if they’re short now, I’d rather sit and watch than channel hop for the little time I spend in front of the tv. It’s difficult though to make as it takes weeks to edit, I’ve got one in the pipeline 25mins long will be out week this Sunday 9 days time. 👍
Thanks for this, mate. American UA-cam woodworkers have almost killed my love for exploring the craft. You're a breath of fresh air in every way
Cheers buddy, I appreciate the compliment man! Hope you’re having a nice long weekend! 🍻🍻🍻
don’t hate mate.
cheers.
Okay, nobody’s asked, so as an American woodworker, who builds everything metric, I’ll ask. What about us kills your elan for the woodworking hobby. Or are you just taking part in that worldwide pastime of America bashing. I thought I once saw a video of Steve Erwin thanking the USA for keeping Japanese soldiers off of Aussie soil.
I don’t care if you dislike us, and by association, me, but I’m interested from where your comments are coming. Not geographically, politically.
@@dejavu666wampas9 What’s the problem with American YT woodworkers you ask. Here are some ideas:
1. The mind-numbing cookie-cutter sameness of the lot-not just of projects and styles (“today we’re building a midcentury-modern coffee table”) but of presentation, down to those unbearable stock phrases: “All in all, I am really pleased with how it came out”-shoot me!
2. Your enormous two-car garages, which you obnoxiously dub “my small shop.”
3. The unrelenting mandatory optimism.
4. The dad jokes.
That's for starters. But thanks for keeping the Japanese away from Australia.
Peace
@@TheNevron33 - Thanks for the amusing, and civil, response.
Hyperbole aside, I’m going to have to pay attention to your points as I watch UA-cam videos. I’ll have to do a compare and contrast with the rest of the world.
1. Since they’re trying for viewers, like all UA-camrs, they realize that most woodworking hobbyists don’t have the skills to replicate 18th century French desks. So they aim at a bigger demographic.
2. Hey, I resemble that remark! Remember Norm Crosby? Never mind. Compared to some enormous shops, two car sized shops are small. Or he’s being self-deprecating.
3. I’m as pessimistic as the next guy, overly according to my wife, but who’s going to get viewers with a dour presentation. The advertising industry will tell you that.
4. I’ll give you this one. Admittedly, most people, including non-Americans, are not funny. Especially on the fly, while working with dangerous equipment. But honestly, I’ve never noticed all the dad jokes.
Just to broaden my horizons, any chance you have some content out there that I can view? I’m always looking to see what people are working on. Who knows, I just might learn something.
You’re welcome, for the Japanese thing, but I wasn’t there to help.😉
You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.
Considering you can pick them up for 600 quid then clean them up, they’re cheaper than site saws and much better 😋
That's the best 1/2 hour of UA-cam ever! Beautiful restoration, with lots of clever engineering and humor! Bravo! Oh and the music, top notch!
Thank you for the lovely compliment, that was really nice to read!!! 😊
Agreed. Everything about this Rebuild vid was was great! I had to subscribe.
I started out in the trade as a wood machinist in 1983 and did a full indentured apprenticeship, all our machines were Wadkins and we did all our own maintenance, they are fantastic machines and a joy to work with 😁👍
That’s for me the biggest plus, something goes wrong and it’s a doddle to sort out, doesn’t need to be sent off 😀 I hope you had a lovely Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
@@HewAndAwe thanks mate and a happy new year to you and yours 👍
Came for the vintage restoration, the videography, editing & music had me hooked, your humour had me smiling, and the sheer length & detail you put into the project left me in awe. Some Very impressive work that I'm sure will last for many years - Nice one!
Thank you for the lovely compliment mate, much appreciated! Hope you have a lovely Christmas 🍻😊🍻
all my machines were made in the 60s and 70s.. lol, but im lucky they were handed down by my grandfather to father now to me. the lathe, drill press etc might be 50-60 years old, but i didn't go broke acquiring them, loved your video, there is something therapeutic about working a machine with your hands. from the time i was 4 or 5 i knew i want to work with metal. i was welding using the drill press and bandsaw before i went to kindergarten. mt grandfather made sure to put a tool in my hand. again good job sir.
Thank you Charles, appreciate the compliment! It’s defo my prize possession now!!! Merry Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
Just found this video. I want to say that you have done a fantastic job here. You can clearly see that you put your heart and soul into it.
Great Work Man.
Thank you Mr C for the compliment - hope you had a lovely weekend! 🍻😊🍻
Worth watching twice, nothing wrong with long content when the project warrants it.
Bud, I replied to your comment the other day but Its not showing here (desktop computer) replied using the iphone app - have you seen another reply other than this one?!?
@@HewAndAwe nope only this one, UA-cam does that sometimes
Well! To say I'm impressed by this is a total understatement. Great vid and as said previously, getting bored with the totally over the top American UA-cam vids. This is art and crafts that I can relate to and enjoy the most. And completely OCD! Love it!
Cheers Douglas! Nice of you to say! 🍻😊🍻
And that's the difference between british woodworkers and our cousins over the pond. They use a sausages to show of their 'SawStop' and we use one to show our saws cut square. Fantastic video and some really great skill in the restoration of a little piece of history...Oh yeah and that bloody one eared elephant again.
😂😂😂 cheers Jon 😊
My God, this is a rebirth- it's beyond resurrection- a real beauty. Not a dull moment, at any time. Had me absolutely riveted (don't know what part of me was, probably all of me- just like the Jazz song). That square sausage cut at the end was a killer! I'll be back for more. Keep'em coming!
Thank you for the compliment, nice of you to take the time to say! I hope you had a lovely Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
At first I thought we had a small desk top saw.
Then you brought out the cabinet shit that’s not bad at all.
It’s a great saw, I love it!!!
Great video, bringing that saw back to life was a joy to watch. Lots of innovation on your part for the dust extraction, just brilliant.
Thanks dude, appreciate you taking the time to comment, hope you’re having a good’n 🍻🍻🍻
I stripped my AGS yesterday and was chuffed as a maggot to find absolutely no damage to any parts... No cracks, no stripped bolts, no frozen parts. Everything came apart easily. My rise and fall alignment bracket is complete, but I've decided to add a 3 mm brass shim between the screws and the contact surface. Currently, the 3 adjustment screws are in directly in contact with the surface and that doesn't strike me as being too cunning.
Those screws become a pain till you have them set up spot on - but I can’t remember why. My depth of cut is 80mm at 90 degrees 10” blade. One day I’ll get a 12” blade for special occasions.
I just refurb'd a similar 1960s US Delta-Rockwell Unisaw, which has a very similar fence system called a 'Jetlock fence'. It suffered from mishandling by morons - using the fence rails as handles to move the saw which led to instant dealignment. By the way, a spring on the micro-adjust knob was part of the original assembly, and I think that a moron unscrewed the knob and the spring popped off and was lost in the pile of sawdust at his feet.
But one thing about these vintage saws that is great, is that they have few or no nasty plastic bits, and they were assembled by human hands with hand tools, and so can be disassembled, repaired, and reassembled as you have done so well.
Yeah hit the nail on the head there, for me that’s the most fantastic part the fact that saw can never die unlike everything produced these days in the name of greed.
I used to do this same sort of thing when I bought an old motorcycle.
Now at my age I just use my tools. Don't clean them or paint them, just a wipe of oil if I'm in the mood.
Nice to see your end product 👌
Good show! I have an old Delta unisaw that is in inspection stage. Between the state of my hearing & your accent/jargon, I only understood only about 10% of what you said, but everything you did was self explanatory. I also enjoyed the music & humor. I especially liked the jazz/electronica fusion segment when you were tearing thru the gear box. Don't often hear that style. Well done!
Thank you for the compliment 🍺😊🍺
Nice work! The dust collection aspect is Very cool.
Cheers Nick, having used it with out I was like there’s no way I’m using this till I’ve some sort of dust collection, I looked like I’d been rolled in flour to find the wet spot when I used it with out.
You’re a true pro! Just amazingly skilled in every inch…sorry…millimetres of this beauty! Keep on the good work!🎉
Haha thank you Kolnan! Hope you’re having a nice weekend!
That was an awesome restoration! Love the sawdust collection system!
Thank you Alan, I appreciate your compliment mate, hope you’re having a nice weekend 🍻🍻🍻
Better and safer than when it was new. Brilliant video
Thank you Phillip! Thank you for the compliment! Merry Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
A heartfelt pat on the back from East Tennessee USA you done an excellent job, I did not know up until I watched your video that the Powermatic 66 is essentially the same saw I know this because I have one sitting in my living room that I basically stripped like you did and it's in the early states of repaint and restore.
According to the factory I have a first year 1966 Model 66 Powermatic cabinet saw and yes it is actually sitting in my living room😁
Hahaha to be honest if mine wasn’t in the workshop it would be in my living room!!
Effing brilliant, Ben. Your skills and patience are on another level 🏆
Thank you Berti, hope you’re well dude 🍻🍻🍻
I agree 100%! I didn’t understand about half of what you said (old American ears!). But you are very talented. 👍
Excellent vid... Thanks so much. I picked up an old AGS10/12 yesterday and was somewhat perplexed by the lack of extraction. I had built a blade cover/hood from sheet metal for a Magic sliding table saw recently and it was a total ball ache. I'll be tackling it differently this time around :)
Great choice of saw, till you need parts for it 😂🤦🏻♂️
@@HewAndAwe Thanks, looking forward to getting her back into service... I've been fabricating parts for my various machines for years now... It started when I could no longer justify the crazy prices that Weinig was asking for spares... Now it's a formality. I have my very own tame but highly talented machinist close by.
I’ve restores several vintage (1940-1950s) Craftsman shop tools and feel the same way. Amazing quality and completely repairable after more than 50 years.
Easily my priced possession! Even after a year I still love every time I turn it on! Hope you have a lovely Christmas 🍻😊🍻
Very impressive... The general work involved, the dust extraction, the hundreds of camera setups... But above all I was relieved with the sausage test, got to watch that H&S! :-D
Cheers Marcos! Merry Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
This is the first one of your videos UA-cam has suggested to me and I'm very glad I watched it. You just earned a new subscriber.
Hi Pauly, glad you enjoyed it, can't tell you how pleased I am with the saw, I wouldn't swap any saw for it!!! Hope you're having a nice weekend Paul!
@@HewAndAwe Old tools are the best tools!
@@PaulyD0859 there’s no school like the old school 😁
You're a right cheeky bastard.
Loved the rebuild !
Cheers Jon, hope you have a wicked Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
Love the video. Your attention to detail, quality if craftsmanship, humor, and the way your videos are easy to follow, informative, without the overhyped is superb! I am restoring a PowerMatic "66" that I inherited and came across your video. Although the saws are different, your inspiration is much appreciated. Liked and subscribed. Thank you!
Forgot to mention the music! Perfect haha, really enjoyed watching this video on a Sunday afternoon after cleaning and organizing my woodshop.
Thank you David for taking the time to say that, reading comments like this make me smile, thank you 🍻🙏 🍻
Fantastic
Norm would be proud
He might moan about safety though 😅
Thanks for sharing! Very cool.
Thank you Errol! Merry Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
Great work on rebuilding the old girl and loved the video, style, voice over, music, everything. Not often (never?) I get a lol watching a restoration vid.
Thank you Attila, thank you for the compliment! 🍺😊🍺
First time a restoration video ever had me giggling! Love it!
Thanks buddy, hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!! 🍻😊🍻
Excellent, donks ago I used to work with a similar saw table, Wilson was the name. Just had for dinner while watching a very good tasty rump steak, almost as good as your vid. Keep up the great work, magic to watch. Peter from the North East. Northumberland.
Thank you Peter, now that’s a compliment! 🍺😁🍺
Educational and entertaining. On behalf of the US, I apologize for the Imperial measurements. But for future reference, the conversion from Newton-meters to foot-pounds is 10/3 unhh! x 10.
Haha cheers Michael! Would be nice if we all were on the same page eh, but to hell with peeps who say centimetres! 🍺😊🍺
Now that was a show. Wow!
Thanks dude!!! 🍻🍻🍻
True genius…..really enjoyed watching this, thanks for posting !
Thank you for the compliment mate, I appreciate that 🍻🍻🍻
Came for the saw,stayed for the uuuuuuurrrgghh newtonmeters!
I’m not even sure what’s widely used newton or foot-pounds 🤦🏻♂️
the sausage cutting at the end was hilarious!!!
nicely done!
Cheers Evan! 🍻😊🍻
Amazing rebuild, going to barrow your dust collection for my ags 10. Thank you for the video.
Wow, you're a cool cookie pal! Just found your channel. Loved the video, loved the commentary, a bit of workshop envy, and nice to see someone with similar tastes in tools. Thanks buddy. M.
Cheers Matt! Hope you’re having a nice weekend! 🍻😊🍻
@@HewAndAwe Sounds a bit weird but spent most it watching you....
Love that you mentioned Dennis at Hooked on Wood. Another favorite channel. Cheers
I can’t remember why now, was yonks ago that vid.
Love the color and awesome video to watch.
Thank you Bill! Hope you’re having a nice weekend! 🍻😂🍻
really nice buy needed a wide shot at the end to see it in its new glory
Yeah I’m really shit at doing that for some reason 🤦🏻♂️ I hope you had a lovely Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
A fine piece of work! Its sense is that I will bet my last penny on such a rebuilt machine is much better than on a new, freshly produced, supposedly super - hyper. Nothing can replace a decent top made of cast iron and a massive mechanism. And if take care of it, it will still cut wood well into the 22nd century!
Is there any new machine that can say the same about itself?
Nope, I wouldn’t even put the saw stop in the same category, waste of money imo. Merry Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
Great job, really really enjoyed the video! Love the way you built the dust collector. Also enjoyed the humour. Well done!!
Thank you Shane, nice of you to say mate! Merry Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
Great rebuild and loved your modifications adding as dust collection system. I understand completely what you are saying with today's junk that is manufactured, a great bit of it is manufactured in China and a good bit of it is just junk.
I have found myself scouring Craigslist adds and going to all sorts of Estate/Garage sales to acquire older American manufactured wood working equipment made in the 1960's and earlier. I have been pleasantly surprised to locate items that I would have never guessed would be stored in a basement or a garden shed.
Usually the equipment back then was made by a single manufacturer who still had their machinery set up from WWII to cast parts for Craftsman, Delta and SouthBend and General Electric to supply the motors to power them. The GE motors are a work of art with thick black paint and Brass info plates, If the motors are older they have baked on black porcelain.
I try not to get into an item that is so badly in need of restoration that I spend months on it. My time is better spent making things rather than restoring items. As far as spare parts are concerned ebay is littered with them but the prices can get a little out of hand. The best you can hope for is offer a lower price and see if the seller accepts. If you suspect a bolt may come loose just use some locktight and just snug up the bolt.
As you Brits would say, a bang up job.
Thank you John! Merry Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
I have a brand new motor and brake for one of these! Great job! I have a 12" with 48" table. Just remembered I have two cast iron fences and bars for these saws knocking about. Make a motor cover and add dust extraction to it and all the dust will disappear!
They’re great saws! I’d really like a PK to restore! Money is to tight to mention though. 😒
@@HewAndAwe I £750 for mine, like new out of university! Rebuilt by Wadkin!
Pro Tip: linked belts, my dude. Beautiful rebuild!! And great sense of humor. :)
I have wondered about those, the cost for three was way to much for pocket unfortunately 😏 Merry Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
Great restoration
Thanks you dude! 🍻🍻😇
These earlier model cast iron saws are wonderful and you certainly wont regret upgrading to a larger motor. There is a book (Jim Tolpin's Table Saw Magic) in which he goes into great detail on the subject. I highly recommend it to anyone that takes his craft seriously. Also, it must be said, your satire aimed at the absurdity of everyday life is brilliant, enjoyed it thoroughly! Thanks Ben.
Thank you Adam, thank you for the lovely compliment! I hope you had a lovely Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
Wow, seen more dust on my missus when she watches the tele, brilliant dust extraction
Hahaha Cheers Gary! Hope you are well!
that dear sir was a wonderful restoration enjoyed it all keep up the lovely videos please love your sense oh humour
Thank you Wilfred! Thank you for the compliment 🍺😊🍺
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. I must admit, I laughed my ass off when I turned on the closed captioning. Was having just a slight bit of trouble with your accent, so turned on the closed captioning to make sure I was following along. Bloody hilarious. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Poppa, some of it is I can mumble, some of it is the UA-cam compression, it’s odd speaking to an object!
Beautiful old saw. Great job. This was worth doing. 👍
Thank you John! Hope you have a wicked Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
Great job looking forward to it in use videos. Tony
Thanks Tony 🍻
😅😂 The "dickhead!!" earned you a sub. I once opened a socket and rachet box upside down. All 30 plus pieces fell to the floor and, of course, scattered under my work table and everything else they could hide under. That prompted me to write "This side up dumbas$" on the top of said rachet set box.
Glad to see I'm not the only one.
😂😂😂 I’ve done it with screw boxes, hundreds of £££’s worth and you’re like I’ve no choice but to go through that mess and sort them out, proper heart sinking moment that 😂
Awesome video! Love a good restoration. Better off making your own throat plate anyway, zero clearance for nicer cuts!
For sure but the router doesn’t like that plastic much 😬 shit myself more than once cutting all the bits so the blade can tilt etc. Merry Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
You are one crazy SOB. I’m glad I ran into your station and subscribed. You have an active mind
Cheers Mark! Yeah it’s a nightmare trying to shut it up at night! 😂
what an awesome rebuild
Cheers Chris, love to use too!!! Hope you’re having a wicked weekend!!! 🍻🍻🍻
What a beautiful result. I enjoyed the whole video. That hammer tone type paint is an enamel so it will take 6-8 weeks to fully cure at which point it should be a lot more durable. Cast iron is the preferred material to make high end table saws because the iron is very dense so it’s great at dampening vibration but what a cow of a job painting it all. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
Cheers Stuart, I can stand a pound coin on the top and it doesn’t move at all! 😁
My first visit here and it was the highlight of my day. Entertaining and inspiring. Absolutely gorgeous work! Subbed.
Cheers Paul! I hope you’re having a great weekend! 🍻😊🍻
There's nothing better than a brit funked fitter. Sweet job ya made ov dat restoration and the little additions. Banging mate, simply banging
So, what's next big man? 🏴⚒️
If someone would hand me down a Wadkin PK I’d be all over that! Trying to get by at the mo mate, not sure what tomorrow is going to bring to make plans for the future 🤦🏻♂️
Super restoration, very cool video. Thanks for sharing it.

Old cast iron, old bearings, with old grease in those bearings, that takes a man to move, and it sounds like a champ all these years later. My kinda machine. Great save! That table saw will be around another 50 years.
@HewAndAwe next time you want to remove rust and staining from a cast iron table, try this:
1. Dry scrape table with razor blade on a handle, using short strokes, with "the grain" of the table surface grind. Take care to avoid edges of the table, miter slot, throat, as it will burr the blade edge. Save those areas to the end. Change blades often to avoid scratching the surface. 90% of the rust should be gone.
2. Wipe surface clean with WD40, then apply WD40 on the entire surface. WD40 Specialist Rust Release Penetrant works the best in my experience.
3. Using an orbital sander or polisher/burnisher (best tool for the job), graduate through green, maroon, and grey scotch brite pads. This will remove the rust, but not the cast iron surface, unlike wet/dry sandpaper, paint stripping disks, or even a wire wheel. Wipe down with WD40 between passes and apply more before continuing. Save the grey for the last pass, to polish the surface.
4. Now that the surface is rust free and clean, but you have some staining or my favorite beer can ring, wipe down with mineral spirits and use Boeshield Rust & Stain Remover.
5. Wipe down with mineral spirits, then run over the surface one final time, dry, with the grey scotch brite pad. Wipe clean with mineral spirits.
6. Last, apply a rust preventative protectant of your choice. Mine is crystalline paste wax by Renaissance. It slicks up the surface and provides reasonable rust prevention. I usually reapply 1x a month or more depending on how often I use the machine. The latest and greatest and of course, most expensive are ceramic coatings. They will run about $100 for the kit, but are supposed to stand up well for a year or more. I haven't tried that yet, but expect to in the near future.
The process works for restorations best, but for maintenance, I skip the green and maroon pads, and use WD40 with a grey pad to clean the surface, give it a shine, then apply wax. That process, start to finish on a table saw like yours, would take 20 minutes tops.
Great content!
Cheers Tim, yeah I tried the ceramic coating as I had some left over from my car, I gotta say it was utter crap! It didn’t want to bond! I’m sticking to my Japanese hydrophobic car wax which is the dogs bollocks!!! It lasts for months, in fact I can’t ever tell it needs more but I do just for the shine and slippage. 👍
You are one sick pup ...... loved every minute of it!
Thank you Ivan! Thanks for the compliment 🍺😊🍺
Nice video! Hooked on wood is a dutch guy actually :p fun to see you use his idea! Hope it works 💪
Greets from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
I found it doesn’t help a great dea bar clearing the dust sitting on the saw before a cut, the biggest difference is the over blade dust hood extractor, remember the blade comes up through the wood then down through the wood.
you are funny to listen to. Good work. Thank you for sharing
Thank you Michael, appreciate the compliment dude! 🍻🍻🍻
Now that was entertaining and realistic great commentary and interesting music 👍
Thank you David! Hope you’re kick’n arse’n tak’n names! 🍻🍻🍻
Love a long video! Looks great Ben - you should be rightly proud of that. Guessing the arbor shot at then means you’ll be using a dado? Look forward to seeing it in use
You know what, you’re right but I gave it some thought saw the price and thought I have one in a track saw why do I need two… maybe if I ever have any spare cash I might.
Dang man had to turn down that music at the end. The wife was outside my office 😆. You crack me up man.
Get the wife involved then 😂 Hope you have a lovely Christmas 🍻😊🍻
This video had me at the Clarence Boddicker quote from Robocop.
“I’d buy that for a dollar” 😂
Great job. I have the big brother of your machine. It has a sliding table to the left, but very cumbersome, made it fixed. I had the same problem with the fence and completely removed it and fitted a fence by Very super Cool Tools, as I didn’t want a support rail at the back of the table which would interfere with my outfeed table. I also fitted a pair of Jessem clear cut guides. I have the original manufacture manual which will be very similar to yours which I would be willing to photocopy and send to you.
Oh-yes-please! That’s very kind of you! If you go to the community tab you’ll find my email address.
Hi sent you all the manual in 7 sections to your E mail address. Hope they reached you ok
Excellent.

My Mum's a nun and she's very confused about the dry filler? Brilliant vid and comments BTW. Nice one
Thank you Peter, hope you have a lovely Christmas 🍻😊🍻
I think I have one of these saws my dad left me. I think it's likely newer than this one but, from what I can remember it looks about the same except for flat rails.
My rails are round with a flat spot for the measurements. Man I’d be chomping at the bit to get that saw out, you maybe lucky and find it’s the AGS12 😁
@@HewAndAwe I'm hoping to get it setup within the next few weeks. I'm currently repairing the floor in an old shop building on my land. I'm going to try and open a maker's space by this spring.
6 and 7 3rds😂😂😂😂. You sir are fcukin hilarious. What a crackin video, absolute brilliant restoration on a beautiful saw....kudos to you sir.👍👍
Thank you Brian, thank you for the compliment! Merry Christmas! 🍻😊🍻 see you on the other side!
Well done Ben, your commitment is impressive, vintage saws have a specialness, I currently have a Laguna fusion 3 here in the UK, great saw, scary accurate but I do remember an old vintage Startrite Tilt Arbor table saw I used in my shop and it was a sweet saw, very enjoyable video mate, louie
Thank you Louie! Ha, thats the saw I'd have chosen if this saw hadn't come along, I like their stuff, seems well rated by peeps worth their pinch of salt too.
@@HewAndAwe Hi Ben, the little startrite was a lovely saw to use but very under powered mate, I remember cutting some Mahogany and there was a sharp blade fitted but the Startrite did struggle, I cant remember just how big the motor was, I think something like 1.25hp! There was something alittle special about the wee saw, the big Laguna is a monster in comparison, cuts through anything, anyways your video was excellent, well put together and extremely interesting to watch, looking forward to further videos I hope you will shoot, kindest regards Louie, Ulster Workshops
It was a beaut when you got it , now it is a pearl loved the changes you made to it. your safety tips where a bit late i am afraid lol aah well who needs 10 of those pointy thingies LOL as a furniture maker you can do with less ouch... but i missed a full shot of the finished product, show it of a bit next time it deserves that!
Thanks buddy, as long as you have enough digits to choke the chicken it’s all good 😁
---- that was a better saw when you rolled it out of the back of the van than 100% of the plastic and/or aluminum saws sold today
For sure, and easy to work on if any faults arise.
Brilliant to watch and even better to listen to, love your torque wrench lol great video mate from Garry in South Yorkshire UK
If you ever fancy restoring one you can pick them up for less than a site saw, maybe needing 300 quid for extras like converting the motor and the likes and then you'll have a tool you'll really love! Love mine!!!!
Hey, we use the same method for torque measurement. Great job. Entertaining video.
