Got a pretty good deal on a Robinson 36" resaw last week. Need a manual with a parts diagram if possible. Missing table blade insert,1 feed wheel, and oiler needle valves. Otherwise runs great.
If you got no luck on freebie click below

Got the saw running better found 1 of the gib parallel bars had fallen out. (keeps the top wheel parallel to the frame) This allowed the top wheel to oscillate a bit. Made a table insert of white oak on the belt sander and radial saw. Just need some needle valve screws for the oiler to finish up. Alemite and bijur make most of the oilers i've seen. Any idea who makes these oilers hopefully the same company as wadkin uses?
Boy this saw cuts nice. This saw doesn't even quiver resawing dry oak. Only complaint is the klockner moeller
pb switches are junk. 3 of 4 were bad.
Anyway a manual is available, thanks for the link
Got a pic of the saw ???
Will post pics later this week after I button up electronics. Including closups of needed parts.

if theres anything i can send let me know (need a more reasonable excuse than just a lookse to nip over ;))
the wadkin factories are / were 28 crows south east from me
Robinsons built a lot of very good solid machinery

Got a closup of the oiler which is missing the shutoff needle valves. Thats why I can't control oil flow other than wide open

Found the 8 inch feed wheel has been ground down to 7-1/2 inches making thin blanks hard to feed. Attached a grizzly feeder for closeup work and it works ok. Will probably replace the steel gear with a urethane roller if metal gear is spendy.

Ran a batch of casing blanks. 3-1/4 x 8/16 and they came out ok. May need to fabricate a bottom wheel enclosure rather than the pit. Never know where that blade will go when it breaks.
