One other job i forgot/missed , the centre stand hits the chain and the v+h pipe comes with a bit of bent bar to stop this hitting.

Will make a better one and to help i had a few of these 8mm thread moulded rubber buffer stops.

More bits to make i love it !!!

To the power saw, no messing about with this bit of old kit.

It runs of a old 1/2hp motor and will cut 150mm dia solid round bar!
Ive updated all the electrics and one day will treat it to a full rebuilt,
its served me well for 25years.
Good old british engineering.

Ah cast iron lovelyness... it probably runs with a nice chuff-chuff-chuff sounds all day to cut through stock!
There's no replacement for displacement!
