Re: Couple more questions

Hi Chris,

Here are couple of images. I am using prolock caps so you should measure your cap.

Measure protrusion on the underside of cap (illustration pic as I cannot hold caliper properly while taking pic).

In my case it is about 5mm

Measure the recess depth of the spindle

I am not an expert to state how much more depth you should have but I see Brian¡¯s response so will defer to that.

?Responding to Imran¡¯s post.?
First, thank you for this information and explanation¡­but shouldn¡¯t there be a clear and scientific/engineering based explanation of how to set this tool up correctly? It all sounds too touchy feely for me¡­and too prone to operator error.
My C3-31 has been great, but I am still trying to complete the transition from my great shop made router table to the somewhat scary spindle shaper. Not to mention, the spindle shaper on the C3-31 seems less flexible than my router table. Am I wrong? Or just not understanding how to use this tool?
Thanks for any feedback, advice, and input.
Chris?

?Hi David, that¡¯s true of the Felder spindles, however the Hammer MF spindle is in two pieces, the bearings, pulley and belt remain in the machine, only the top section of the spindle comes out.

If you want to use bushings with the Hammer spindle you would have to use the 30mm spindle and bush it to 1.25¡±, which is 31.75mm, which is a pretty thin bushing.

I find it convenient to share cutters with the saw, requiring the 30mm spindle, and I have a selection of 1.25¡± cutters so for me, having 2 spindles is useful¡­¡­..Regards, Rod
