I moved the 30 " Wadkin band saw to the mill shop today. I have had this saw in the bench shop for a year now. Today I put the table on and ran some wood through it. Its an old blade 6 point so it not cutting great I will order a new 16.5 foot 3 point. This is a DMD(direct motor drive) saw with a blade SFPM(surface feet per minite) of 6476. The high speed saws are a little louder too.
The wadkin has solid steel pulleys and so it takes some time to come of to speed.

look at the dime at the very begining and it does shack just a bit.
Enjoy I did

Once again beautiful work Jack. I noticed the series of holes in the table and am assuming for circle cutting?



My job is to give my kids things to discuss with their therapist
