Dave, still prototyping the digital F&F, but if it comes out well, I know I¡¯ll be making at least 3 extra. ?Lucky is paying for the engineering work on a T&M basis, so I¡¯m having a blast with this project. ? LOL
?? I'll take a picture of my thickness stop tonight for you.? I've yet to use it and didn't notice if it had an "analog" measurement system.? At most it would have been etchings in the aluminum but I don't recall even that.
?? I wish I could spend more time in the shop but our embroidery business has exploded lately.
?? Have you progressed on deciding if you're going to market the Fritz and Franz?

Dave, did Herr Fuchs ever come through with a thickness stop shipment for you? ? He never got back to me even after I had John and Joe buttonhole Mr. Aigner at the show in Germany to clarify the part number for the newer non-DRO version. ? I¡¯d love to see a photo of it if you got one - the Fuchs web site now says it has ¡°analog measure unit¡± - whatever that means.
?Integral fence and the Bowmould are definitely high on the list for must haves. I have and use both but the Centrex while interesting is not on my list but I use a Power feeder a lot. I kick off the Felder version of the Centrex shortly after getting the machine in 2011. But everyone's needs are different. Don't know the back fence you are referring to. Pressure modules are also extremely useful.
I know there has been a lot of interest in Aigner accessories for Felder equipment. I have a CF741 combo machine and am wondering how far I can go with Aigner. It looks like the Integral fence and the Bowmould are home runs. I would be interested in the Centrex as well as a back fence. I don't know if there is a way to use the back fence with the sliding table being at the edge versus the Aigner rails it shows in the catalog it attaches to? Does anyone know what needs ordering on the Centrex to get it to work with the CF741 ie riser blocks, support plates etc?
