Wadkin PU Straight Line Edger
The value of this machine in modern woodworking practice lies in its ability to deal with all kinds of edging or ripping at a high rate of output, and to edge the stock so accurately that when glue joints are called for, the timber can be taken straight to the glue clamps without further machining.
Whilst a large proportion of the economics of the machine undoubtedly come from its speed of working as compared with the ordinary rip saw benches, and also from the saving in material.
