1960's Table Saw Restoration (DIY Under dust collection) (Wadkin Bursgreen AGS 10) Part Two.

[@HewAndAwe]

Sorry for the delay guys, was a bit problematic getting parts... Hope you all had a lovely Christmas both days fro me were spent getting this bad-boy into my workshop.

Hello friend Ben, We are in the second part.. I like your work on table saw restoration and dust collector. continue. A nice renovation. Thank you for showing the details. You always do great work. see you later. Stay healthy and happy. I wish the year 2022 to bring peace, health and peace to all people. Big Greetings.

[@HewAndAwe]

Heyyyy buddy! Thank you for the compliment! I hope you and the family had a nice break and new years party? 🍻

@@HewAndAwe everything was fine. thank you. see you later.

A tip for tapping - is forward three turns then back one, it takes longer but your hole is clean tapped. Good video.

[@HewAndAwe]

Thank you Kevin! Is that 3 full turns?

[@kevinronald4137]

@@HewAndAwe (this made me think) when holding the tap or die I always turned 90, changed hand position, turned a further 90, and changed hands again going 90 again then changed hands on the tap or die and did a reverse 90. So in effect your cutting down ¾ each set of movements. After a few turns this comes automatic. I was taught this in school some 50 years ago and used it when required since.

[@HewAndAwe]

@@kevinronald4137 thank you Kevin, I’ll be sure to do that next time, like you I was taught this at school but that was in a haze of bong smoke, needless to say a hazy recall of what to do. 😬

Merci pour le complément! Je me sens comme un père fier à coup sûr! J'espère que vous allez bien !

Great video Ben, that is going to be one pucker saw when it’s done. Glad to see you followed my link to the Hooked on Wood channel.. (he is Dutch) for the zero clearance insert... HNY.. Cheers Paul

[@HewAndAwe]

Im struggling with it to be honest, there's a LOT of different factors that make it work or fail, I'm still playing with the idea - one thing is VERY sure it really comes down to your set up and all the factors involved, its not as clear cut (pardon the pun) as hooked on wood suggests! If you have his saw, extraction etc etc I think it works, but its far from that on my set up, I'm trying to figure out the factors that arent helping daily.. Like everything on youtube take it with a pinch of salt.

[@paultay23]

@@HewAndAwe I am actually making a few zero clearance blanks from 18mm Phenolic birch ply, so I will also be experimenting with my Dewalt DW745. I am just waiting for some 12mm 8mm Grub screws for the levelling feet to arrive.

[@HewAndAwe]

@@paultay23 Oh do let me know how you get on bud??? Would be interesting to see what differences and variables there are...

[@tonyworkswood]

Great work enjoyed watching. Good idea putting that spring on the rip fence fine adjusting knob. The saw is in better condition than new. Looking forward to seeing the dust extraction in action. Tony

[@HewAndAwe]

Cheers Tony! I spent the christmas days and till after new year getting it into the shop, was a remodel of the shop needed too.. But, man! WHAT an epic saw, every time I use it I'm grinning!!! Action price 600 quid, less than my Bosch table saw!

[@tommyfox4444444]

Great. Looking forward to seeing the dust extraction work.

[@HewAndAwe]

Cheers Tom, gonna be honest I'm still testing it when I have the time but it is probably better than most saws out there as it is! Hope youre well and had a nice break!

[@davidjennings9253]

Brilliant job Ben - Well done!!

[@HewAndAwe]

Thank yo uDavid! Hope you are having a nice weekend! 🍻🍻🍻

[@rodpotts2666]

Enjoyed that!

[@HewAndAwe]

Cheers Rod, hope youre well man!!!

[@diarmaidok]

Lovely! I have a Wadkin BGY 3 sander that is 1/2 done, and I want to get it finished

[@HewAndAwe]

Id love one of those, to be honest I dont see a WADKIN and not want it, Id love a drill press - sadly money and space are to tight to mention!

[@diarmaidok]

@@HewAndAwe Theyre great I used to use one at University. I bought a toshiba inverter for it but dont have a clue about how to connect it...3 phase wires are different colours...FML! I have to squeeze through my wee sweatshop.

Cheers Curly, hope you had a nice break!!!

[@BalancedLugger]

Love it.

[@HewAndAwe]

Thank you 🍻😊🍻

[@SujMenon]

Great restoration Ben. Liked all the little tips on the way, especially bending that PVC with heatgun, adding spring to that micro adjuster, etc. Have a great new year party 🥳 🍻🥂

[@HewAndAwe]

Cheers buddy! Was the first christmas / new year in my life I spent the whole time in the workshop, all in. the name of the above - man did I loose a LOT of storage putting that saw in! Hope youre well mate, hope you had a nice break and the family are all good!!! x

[@SujMenon]

@@HewAndAwe all good mate. Good to hear that you were flat-out busy, haha. That saw is a beast!

[@northroadwoodwork8616]

As always, a fantastic job with the whole process. That is some insane work on the dust extraction! Now I'm curious how it works. Looking forward to seeing that set up in your shop and ripping some stock.👊

[@HewAndAwe]

Cheers buddy! Was a case of a 3hp motor is gonna proper chuck dust everywhere, I wasn't disappointed! I dont know if its just me or the perfectionist in me but I'd like it to be better at dust collection, but it's probably exceptional for most as it is...

[@brianconway4275]

Beautiful job Ben!! I am amazed at your creativity solving problems!! Hope you had a very merry Christmas and wishing you all the best for the new year!!

[@HewAndAwe]

Cheers Brian!!! Was one spent entirely in the workshop, a first for me! But switching that saw on connected to the shop extraction and ripping some oak like butter was really good!!! Kinda like a proud father moment!!! Hope you had a lovely break and new year to man!!!

[@forbol]

SWEET! Too bad the arbor's not a bit longer, but that saw will last forever.

[@HewAndAwe]

You know what they say Daniel, size doesnt matter - its the motion of the arbour that counts 😆 There's still room for a dado stack mind...

[@garymucher4082]

So when you need to use your plunge router again, are you going to take apart the table saw for the spring... lol Thumbs Up!

[@HewAndAwe]

Haha I had to watch that who vid to figure out what you’re on about, that’s a crappy Amazon drill press. 👍 Hope you had a wicked weekend Gary! 🍻🍻🍻

[@philipwalker1243]

Yes yes

[@HewAndAwe]

Cheers Philip 🍻🍻🍻

[@josephblake1176]

On an old wadkin the fence opens slightly past the arbour reducing the pinch (The fence is not exactly parallel to the blade!). Hence why the blade tilts towards the fence. Its not ideal but they did think about it. Check out Jack Frostburg for setting up old wadkins.

[@HewAndAwe]

Mins dead straight which is interesting, seems also mind the only one that slides freely to. Most peeps complain about the fence, I couldn’t be more happier with it. With the bars placed to the left that sorts out the dicy idea of the blade tilting towards the fence too.

The patience of Job, language of a poet. Have you thought of putting subtitles for the non-English viewer? This video is the dogs. Need I say more?

[@HewAndAwe]

Yeah I have, and have done before but its SO much work on top of a lot or work anyway editing and filming. Its not just add words to the screen, I have to make it work with in the frames shown time wise...

[@kevinronald4137]

@@HewAndAwe he is worth checking out for all his research and experiment with dust control on a table saw.

[@HewAndAwe]

@@kevinronald4137 Ah-okay-gotchya! Yeah Ive watched a lot of his vids, was why I asked. Theres just one thing though, it really comes down to your workshop, where the dust collectors are, soooo many variables is what I mean, there just isn't one answer that suites all - its my biggest pet hate of youtube, most punt it that way.

[@matsemanuelsson4343]

Great work and solution! I have a Wadkin AGS 12 which I have restored. And now I’ve started to think about how to solve the dust collection. And found your great clip! I noticed you chose quite thick plexi boards. (Or was it some other polymer?) What is the thickness? Any trial and error on this to decide which thickness was needed? Looking forward to a next episode with testing and your reflections and possible improvements!

[@HewAndAwe]

Whats the motor running that blade? I found upgrading to the 3hp was mental how much dust I was covered in, to the point I dont wanna ever take off the upper dust extraction! I used perspex, or what ever its called these days the only reason I used that thickness was it was kicking around the workshop left over from making a car splitter, and honestly I'm glad it was thick so I had enough meat to screw it together and not glue it, made working it all out easy and less wastage in materials taking it apart..

[@matsemanuelsson4343]

@@HewAndAwe Hi Ben, I have the original Brook 2900 rpm 3hp motor. So, what thickness did you use…? I have a sheet of 10 mm. Perhaps a bit too thin to assemble with screws. Maybe screws and glue (Acrifix) together. I’ll experiment a bit.

[@ianwood5251]

Ben. I have purchased AGS 10 and collect next week. The saw has a three phase motor but I will need to purchase a single phase. Could I ask where you purchased your motor from. Ian

[@HewAndAwe]

Here you go fella, www.electrotechdrives.co.uk/product/2-2kw-3hp-2800rpm-240v-electric-motor-single-phase/ I can’t remember but I think I had to move the terminal box cause it hit the side I’d have to have a look when I’m next at the workshop, if you don’t hear from me I didn’t have to move it. 👍

[@ianwood5251]

@@HewAndAwe Great thanks Ben.

[@barryinn1778]

Why you didn't show dust collection working?

[@HewAndAwe]

Hi Barry, I couldn't really show that till the saw was all back together, I did show that in the next video. This is the problem splitting the whole build up into shorter length vids - trouble is peeps want to watch no more than 10-15 min vids, I don't get that but that seems to be the way things are on KZbin.

[@colinwilson7524]

LOL! I have that blue, green and orange "pile of shit" parallel drill press and I can also confirm it is a "piece of a shit!" used it once, it was bollocks and have never used it again. 😀

[@HewAndAwe]

Haha yeah absolute shite never had anything as bad as that thing!

[@tofmcwilliams887]

Has received drawings from NASA...

[@tofmcwilliams887]

Meant to be in awe-no snark

[@HewAndAwe]

Was a joke to do with nasa working in fractions and them coming very unstuck sending drawings out to Europe to make parts for them, its really time we were all on the same page dont you think.

[@tofmcwilliams887]

Certainly. Or at least take the time to think about where they're sending the drawings and then going to the exceptional effort of clicking the correct unit on whatever program they're using. It's not like anyone is doing drafting by hand.
