Robinson EX/E Radial Arm Saw
Having recently parted out a Wadkin CC radial arm saw, I was intrigued by the similarities when I saw (no pun intended) this Robinson listed on an unnamed
internet auction site.
Posted here for your perusal.

Cheers for the pics Vann, you always seem to find such interesting machines!
Pretty amazed at the condition of this machine, seems like all the stuff I see is covered in years of rust.

John I recently had in my hands a number of bound wadkin manuals and blueprints which came from the Robinson works. Obviously used to keep track of what the opposition were doing.

I spend far too long surfing the net, and not enough time in the workshop

I managed to get a pile of 60's -80's stuff. Scaled prints were supplied with machines when purchased.

Vann,
thanks for sharing, I'm a fan of Robinson, they really did put a lot of thought into their designs, that brake is a nice feature, and the tilt control.
cheers,
camo
PS I just sent you a PM about the PM from the Canadian site

That's a fantastic looking machine...not often you say stuff looks sturdier than the equivalent Wadkin!
