Re: Fine Adjustment for Rip Fence on Hammer B3
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Brian, i do not have hammer and cannot help you with DIY micro adjust but can offer something on blade guard. my KF700 has the splitter (riving knife) mounted blade guard. i did not like having to remove it when making buried cuts. so long story short, some here have gone with aftermarket overhead solutions. Shark is one that i can think of. if you are interested in overhead solution, you can search here. i am sure it is couple of hundred vs $75 replacement so it is definitely not a cheaper option. another reason for going in this direction is for better dust collection. some have enlarged the opening of their stock felder guard for this purpose as well. you should be able to those posts here as well. congratulations on your purchase.

?I recently picked up a slightly used (2017) Hammer B3 Winner.? I'm considering adding the Fine Adjustment mechanism that Felder sells.? The original owner added a Wixey DRO, so there could be some added benefit to being able to make precise adjustments.? (I'm still deciding if the Wixey is worth some of its quirks).? I've looked for posts about this option, but can't seemed to find any.? It's $201 on Felder's website, which is I guess reasonable for Felder.? It looks pretty simple, 2 threaded knobs, nuts, washers, and a piece of machined steel that slides on the guide rail and the knobs thread onto.? Any thoughts or experience using it on your Hammer's would be appreciated. I'm also looking for a blade guard.? The stock one was damaged, so I can either order a replacement from Felder ($75) or look at other alternatives.? I'm planning to hook up dust collection to it, so an alternative would need to work that.?? Thanks |
