• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

are these tools good or scrap?

so a colleague of mine said he had some old wood working tools that came out of and house he bought to renovate. so i went round after work and had a look i bought them off him and got them back to my work shop. they are very rusty and need some tlc. purchased the lot for £200.

some advice if these are worth keeping or getting rid of.
They are covered in farm yuk so need a good scrub.

This must be a joke :lol:

That's a cracking price for those, they shouldn't need too much TLC to get running sweetly. Multico stuff is actually rather nice and solid, they were considered a light trade machine back when they were made but compared to the stuff that Axminster sell now, the quality is far superior. I think that Wadkin saw is a Wadkin "Tradesman"? Not quite the same quality as their AGS saws but still very decent.

I bought a 12" Multico Planer for £400 in ropey condition, so your haul for £200 is a bargain!

I've got a manual for the planer photographed in its entirety if you want it.
 
Shush Trevanion, they're a bunch of crap and will never work!

I'll give you £220 for them for your troubles and will come and collect them and take them to the tip for you...
 
What a bargain!

Have a Multico planer,it's smaller than the one you have, only 9 " but it's a really good machine.
I think I paid around £180 for it.

A good clean up and sort out the table saw motor and you have three very useful machines.
 
The cast iron alone might be worth that much in scrap value, you should be ashamed of yourself for taking the guy's eyes out. ;) :)
I'll beat Marks offer and give you £250 as he doesn't have room for any more machinery. :lol:

That's a serious bargain you lucky fella. :eusa-clap:

That saw might need a 16 amp supply and nothing wrong with the motor, you should check the rating plate.
 
Absolute scrap there Trimmers, just leave it all outside the newsagents on station rd and I will get rid of them for you lol

Absolute bargain and a great set of projects for the year ahead, you lucky lucky litlle boy :P
 
That is a great haul. I used to have the same morticer.
Did you get any bits for the morticer or the slot morticer on the planer?

An excellent haul Tim.
The motor fault could well be simply a failed start or run capacitor. That would cause an MCB to trip.
Worse could be an RCD trip as that would be an insulation fault but thinking positiviely, that could be a deceased insect nesting in the wrong place.
