Re: KF 700 - shutting off as blade touches wood
开云体育Hi David,Not sure if you got all msgs but Kyle responded to most if not all questions. I have heard of this happening when xcutting on the slider, not necessarily with material hitting the blade though. However, depending upon where the outrigger is positioned on the slider, it may seem like the material contacting the blade is causing the shutdown but in reality it is just that the slider has travelled a certain amount causing a break in signal as you mentioned. Besides cleaning the ways it may also be prudent to check the wiring related to the slider switches as well. Kyle mentioned he was ripping, so not sure if the slider was locked while he was doing the ripping. That would make a dirty micro switch a possible culprit. Another possibility is the overload relay that senses current. Brian also mentioned this. This is usually labeled as 2K1 in the electrical cabinet.

?There is not enough information here for us to really be helpful. ?Please reply with answers to Brian’s questions. ?Without hearing more, I’d be very suspicious that the issue is related to the stop circuit connected through the sliding table to the switches at “the end of the wagon.” ? That circuit runs through the bearings, and if that circuit is broken (for just a millisecond) because of poor contact induced by the vibration of the saw starting to cut, that would produce the behavior you observe. ?Try cleaning the bearing ways of the lower and upper sliding table extrusions. ?Douse it with a solvent like WD-40, run the slider back and forth several times, then clean the ways several times to remove the solvent. ?Of course there are a bunch of other possibilities, but I’d start with that.
