Dominion Elliot Supreme Woodworking machine

Remember to give it a squirt of WD 40 when you put the toy away. There is nothing grows rust faster than British Engineering.

I liked the saw set. Will you ever use that? If so set up a small fish smoke house over the blade.

I think I must cultivate your acquaintance...

Alas no, but it looks like a very versatile bit of kit!

Wow - you've got a beast there. From my limited experience of "old british" woodworking machinery - the ripping/planing/thicknessing will be excellent - but the spindle-related functions may just be a bit too "safety free" for modern standards - that picture in the brochure of trenching with the naked overhead dado cutter looks "worrying". (but great brochure BTW)

As JR says - can we have a photo-history as this project progresses please?

I think you must need a lot of clear working space to use all the features.

The main drive motor looks similar to that on a surplus bench saw in my possibles pile:-)

All in all that actually looks to be in a fairly decent state. The tables look to be in better condition those on my table saw when I got it, and that cleaned up quite nicely with softish cup brush on the angle grinder.
