Since 2015 i really love to see all kinds of woodworking projects to see how much result these projects can give. I have been searching ebay for years for a decent tablesaw as that seemed to be the number 1 tool to have to do good quality woodworking. in 2018 i ran across a advertisement mentioning just tablesaw but from the pictures it looked like exactly what i was looking for.
It turned out to be a Wadkin AGS12″ which seemed to be a good brand to have. The machine has double rail for tools and the original fence on there. However i didn’t like how worn down it looked so started a restoration on it straight away. I took everything apart, cleaned it and eventually painted it.

I decided machinecolor green was the perfect color for this machine and most likely the orignal one. After painting the machine looked just lovely. Ofcourse it remains a use machine for me, so it’s sitting in the shelf until i need it, then i take it out to use it and put it back after using it.
Tablesaw Extension
In 2021 i figured that it was really hard cutting big plates on my tablesaw, mainly because the machine was that short. To fix this i made an foldable extension behind it, this way i could push my planks over, and keep them floating behind the sawblade.

In 2023 i decided it was time to fix my editing faults of the 2018 video, so i re edited the video of 2018 and added a voiceover.
