Jay unfortunately parts for 6 and 7 series machines are now getting pretty limited.

If you are trying to obtain the mountings for the short cross cut fence 1100mm then the mounting kit should be available under part no?430-133.
If you are trying to obtain parts for the longer fence on an outrigger, then they have long since been discontinued.

You are correct that the spindle shaft is changed as a complete piece and are no longer available, second hand spindle shafts are rare in my experience i have only seen one on eBay, in 15 years.
that being said, a good engineering company should be able to replicate what is essentially a turned shaft, and a couple of turned rings. Bearings, collars and locking rings are all stock parts that can be obtained elsewhere.
The hard part as I am finding is locating an engineering company that will take on one off pieces of work.

Good luck in your search.

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:)
