Hello.
I have recently come in possession of a -99 mod. Felder KF-7 Compact saw (Combo saw-shaper) and I'm trying to get it to work as a replacement for my older tablesaw. The machine came from an institution that closed down. It was put in storage and thus some of the accessories for it was missing when I bought it at an auction. I have contacted my local dealership for replacement parts but not surprising there is not much to be had. I have tried looking for listings locally (i live in Norway) and abroad, but have not had much luck in finding the parts or information I'm seeking.
Now that the origin story is out of the way, here is my first question I hope maybe some of the wizards in here might help me with:
The machine came mounted with what I have gathered, is a high speed spindle. There was a regular 45 degree bit mounted in it. I was hoping to use the shaper on the machine as intended but from what I have found I need to change the whole spindle to be able to use the larger shapertools. Is this the case or do I simply need to change the top part of the spindle?
As mentioned Felder has said that the spindles for this model is not available any more. Is there a marked for buying these things used? If so, where?
The saw is also missing the mounting kit for the crosscut fence and again according to Felder, the kits available today is not compatible with my saw. This is also something I'm looking for in the used marketplace.
I hope this novel does not get me banned from this place at once and that you might enlighten me in the sliding ways:)
