THE full range of stationary wood' working equipment made by DeWalt, Inc. (a Black and Decker subsidiary with factories in the U.K. and Canada) is to be introduced gradually to the U.K. market by Black and Decker, Ltd., Harrnondsworth, Middx.
The first machines immediately available are basically radial-arm saws which can be used with a wide variety of attachments to adapt them to almost any woodworking job. There are two versions—
the 925 with a 9-in, blade size and a 1-ft. 10-in. x 2-ft. 9-in, table and the 1030 with 10-in, blade size and a 1-ft. 11-in. x 3-ft. 1-in. table.
Both models follow the same basic design. The saw is fitted directly to the shaft of the motor which is mounted in a casting located in a slide on the underside of the radial arm. The arm can be rotated on its pillar through 360°, latches being incorporated for quick setting at zero, 45° and 90°. The vertical angle of cut can also be varied by rotating the motor in its mounting yoke. This can also be swivelled through 3600 to allow ripsawing or machining along the length of the timber being worked in either direction.
Basic price of the 925 model is £125 and of the 1030 model £170 single phase and £190 three phase.
