Re: Fixing Felder X-roll short cross cut fence T-nut - AKA group buy of improved T-nut
|
?Hello Netanel,
Just wanted to clarify the parts included.
The single machine option would include the reversible T-nut with built in leveling set screws? ?And when sending in the aluminum block for modification, would I leave the factory Kipp lever in place?
Any chance there might be an option for a new flip stop with a single machine order?
Thx,
Wade

Hello FOG,
As some of you are aware, there is a known issue with the Felder short (1100mm) Xcut fence—it does not consistently register at 90 degrees and for many users requires recalibration each time the fence angle is changed or the fence is re-mounted on the slider after removal.
David Best has invested meaningful time and effort in researching and developing a solution for this problem. For more details, you can review his findings here:
David has decided not to produce additional retrofit kits himself. However, he has generously shared detailed diagrams outlining his solution.
I have located a local metal shop willing to manufacture a batch of these retrofit kits to the required tolerances. Since I don’t have metal milling equipment myself, I will only be facilitating a single production run—provided we reach the minimum order quantity.
Participation & Timeline
If you’re interested in purchasing a kit, please let me know. I’ll be collecting registrations over the next few weeks, and if we reach at least 25 units, we will proceed with the production run. My target is to start production in the May-June time frame.
Available Retrofit Kits & Pricing
-
Retrofit for Two Machines ($450–$500 + shipping)
I'll have the final price once I'll know the number of participants.
Supporting David Best
David declined payment for his work in designing this solution, but I believe we should compensate him for his time and dedication. I encourage anyone purchasing the retrofit kit to consider making a donation.
I will personally donate $100 for my kit, plus any profit from this group buy. If you’d like to contribute, I will be collecting donations and forwarding them to David. All of the donations to David get passed along to support people in war-torn communities
