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??
