Just lovely !!

Thanks Rocketeer, its been a real thrill to work on such a nice old machine, there is something about the styling I just can't look past.

Matty, put up a thread in the Metalwork Forum, several members have grinding machines that will handle this type of job, if your mate can't do it.

Thanks Kryn, I appreciate the thought, I'll have a chat with my mate, but yes that may be the way to go if I get stuck.

The Delphi forums they would be in awe of that beast, what a find. I have a 1960's 12" model and it is great.

Something that worked for me is a solid rubber bung strap attached to the shed bearer and the saw carriage to stop any chance of the saw climbing towards you with bigger stock.

Very nice.
Well done

Thanks tomartomau for your kind comments, I post occasionally on OWWM, but mainly here down under, the rubber strap sounds interesting as these machines do have a tendency to climb over big stuff.
I'm hoping for a nice clean cut with this brand new blade I have put in.
