Subject: [felder-woodworking] solution to
BF7-41 planer problem
Thanks to John R. and Seth H.for their
responses.
After much fussing, adjusting the compression spring screws
1/2 of one screwdriver slot width at a time, and finding the an appropriate
balance? between infeed and outfeed roller pressure, I successfully?
achieved some progress in getting the planer to feed. Several coats of machine
buffed paste wax applied to the table resulted in smooth feeding of?
lumber and the end to many hours of frustration.?Felder makes a fine
machine, but in my opinion it is a bit too sensitive in some respects. I would
be interested to hear from anyone else in this regard.
With respect to the limitation of the jointer fence setting
relative to the jointer table width, I am of the opinion that the jointer
table side extension should be an included part of the machine, even if the
cost is built into the price. I used to use the full surface of the jointer on
my BF5 ( now Phillip Tamarkin's) without the fence with no problem, but still
feel that the fence should be useable with the full width of the table. I have
the extension on the BF7 and find I like not having to remove and replace the
fence when going from surfacing to jointing while doing wide stock.
Regards to all,
Paul
