I want one of them Manchester girder saws next.....
At some point that will lead to lugging RSJs about so it's probably best avoided. ( I scrounged a 7 meter 14"7" one just before I changed The Plan.. That was an epic afternoon of shifting things..)

Yes...that could lead to a host of other problems....may be best not looking for one...but there is always that chance I will stumble across one

Evening guys...
Pressing on with the saw...its all stripped down now...but having trouble identifying the thread on some studs...i been through every set i got so I am thinking it's whitworth. Picture below is two pitch gauges that I found match.. all I no it's 13mm diameter.

Morning guys.
Just a question. On the base plate of my Manchester there is two runners that the motor and pulley bracket bolt to.. I have four spacers on mine. Didn't know if this was original or a previous modification.

Is it just the way it looks in the photo or is everything painted black including the blade?

Yes everything has had black paint thrown at it. It was seized solid but got most of it moving now.

But this is going to take some time. The vices and screw are rusted and seized solid

Surprising what paint can hide. A previous repair. But it's still all in line as I have checked it... mig braseing I presume
