Re: Thoughts on the precision miter option and scoring unit


 

The scoring motor is 1 HP (0.75 kw).

Thanks for the clarifications David.? You are correct I was planning on the mechanical scoring unit because I didn't want yet another motor to run on my limited power budget.? Does anybody know what the HP or KW rating on the scoring motor is?

I really appreciate the warning about the 1300 versus the 1500 outrigger.? I'll give them a call next week.? Liz has been helpful, but doesn't seem to be particularly knowledgeable.? I stopped by Felder's Scramento facility a few weeks back to look at the equipment.? Unfortunately, they are in the process of moving so nothing was powered.? The one tech that was around had just been hired six weeks ago.? I briefly met Fergus.? He was knowledgeable and responsive, but clearly busy with other things.

I have an existing smaller powerfeeder for my 3/4" spindle shaper.? I will definitely be adding a powerfeeder to the KF 700.? The only question is whether I mount my existing powerfeeder on it, or purchase a newer/bigger one sometime in 2017.

My experience is that the powerfeeder makes all the difference in terms of the safety and enjoyment when using a shaper, especially if you have a lot of material to run.? I'm guessing I'm going to want a bigger powerfeeder to go with the bigger shaper.
