开云体育Hello everyone,
Before I get to my question, I'd like to say thanks to Geoff
for getting this forum going. No doubt this will be a really popular
place.
Secondly, I recently posted a message on Badger Pond having to
do with a alignment problem on my jointer after having moved it . Thanks to
Charlie, John R., and Geoff for your input and advice. So far the solution seems
to be re-adjusting the machine if necessary whenever the thing is moved. Not the
best of all possible solutions, but there it is. The response to my posting was
very quick on the part of Felder USA. Wolfgang called me at about 9AM my time to
try to solve the problem. After?checking the tightness of some bolts and
set screws, and further discussion with John Hartschorn, the immediate solution
is as stated above.John will be coming to my shop after the?Mid-Atlantic
show to thoroughly check out my machine. I have to say, the folks at Felder USA
make every effort to make things right!
OK, now for today's problem. This?is probably related to
having moved the machine also. because ever since the planer has not fed stock
very well, if at all. I've spoken with John H. and he gave me the set-up specs
for the in-and out-feed rollers and for the compression springs above
them.?The rollers were at their correct settings and I've set the springs
as per John's recommendation, but the #%@$ thing still won't feed. I've adjusted
the spring tension in very small increments, and it comes close to feeding, but
I still end up pushing? and pulling the stock through. It's Saturday, I
can't get ahold of John, I'm in the middle of work that has to be delivered next
Friday and I'm really frustrated. Anyone out there had a similar problem, or any
ideas? that I haven't tried? You have my eternal gratitude and a free
dinner if you have a solution that works.
Thanks to all, and I look forward to meeting some of you 9in
the future
?Regards Paul??
