Seth: I am in the same boat. I didn't know "come here from sic'em" about
shapers I ordered an 1.25 inch spindle assuming that is was a US standard
and found Felder did do that size of cutters. I hit the net and found
several suppliers in the States so will probably shop here. If I find that
I "must have" a Felder cutter will pony up for a 30mm since I understand it
is a standard in Europe and that the 40mm is used when spindle deflection is
a potential problem. I assume that a larger motor would be in order for the

heavier duty cutters that would go on the 40mm.----- Original Message -----

Subject: [felder-woodworking] Shaper spindle
This is a sort of a survey. When I ordered my BF6-31, I never gave too
much thought to the shaper function. I'd never used a shaper and have
a full shelf of router tooling. So I ordered the router spindle and
got a shaper spindle essentially as an afterthought. I've since
ordered the rebate head - the Felder February special - and found that
it was only supplied in 30 MM. My shaper spindle is 1.25".
Do you think that I should swap in my 1.25" spindle for a 30 MM. Do
you think it is worthwhile for the European tooling available or should
I stick with the 1.25? Felder has been nice enough to say that they
will exchange spindles for me at no charge, so cost is not a prime
consideration.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Regards - Seth
