Re: Would you buy a combo Shaper/Saw?

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Perhaps you are asking whether a combo of saw and shaper is reasonable. ?Personally, the biggest conflict in my work is between the saw and the shaper. ?If you have room for separates, that¡¯s the way I would go.

i would 2nd Mark¡¯s thought on motorized blade elevation without DRO. i have the same setup on K975 and it is tedious if you need to set exact blade height. while cool, i think it should be either manual or motorized with DRO - power drive in felder lingo. i have power drive on dual51 and tapping works fine.

?I have the power drive on the ad941 j/p and the dumbed down version of it on the k700s.

On the ad941 i had a little bit of a hard time with the ¡°tap¡± at first but doesn¡¯t take the long to get the hang of of it, i will say that seems a bit more troubling in decimal than mm, i only use mm...

The saw, the dumbed down version as I call it is the version that has no digital readout and is for the blade up and down only - the tilt is the dial indicator, I would not recommend that configuration, when you try to dial in the exact height of the blade it¡¯s hard to get it where you want without trial and error, you would be better off with manual and a dial indicator.

From what I understand the powerdrive is pretty robust and accurate, i did inquire about the cost of replacing the board if it failed and was told it is something like $200 - $300. You should expect a good 10 years on a quality built circuit board these days and really much longer, i work in industrial controls now and we have similar build quality boards in super harsh conditions (talking unconditioned, exposed to elements in India, Africa to name a few but pretty much every location on earth and 24/7 operations) that last 10 years. A lot of boards if not all these days can also be repaired if you know what to look for, use to be that these boards were one offs now mostly a commodity item. I am not at all concerned with powerdrive level electronics...

Digi drive is a different story so someone else with experience would have to comment on that.?

I would think with the saw shaper you would want the power drive for ease of shaper setup but I am not a combo guy for saw shaper....

The k940s that is replacing my k700s will be power drive with all dro, i am an ex professional furniture/millwork maker but now hobby some commission and i think the powerdrive is basically $1500 and full dro $1500 and totally worth it over the long hall. I figure at best I have 25-30yrs left of woodworking so not alot in the scheme of things...

[Edited Message Follows]

Well,

I spent some time this week with Carl @Felder in Anaheim.? Decided on a configuration I think.? Waiting on a quote.? KF700SP if it is possible to get it in single phase with a 9' slider.

I am really torn about power drive.? Carl had lots of thoughts around going manual.? The tap feature does seem annoying, but I haven't lived with it to know.

What does everyone think?? For a hobby WW?? Is it something to break?? How much more is the cost (power drive vs 4 dial indicators)???

Help...

Lenox carbide rocks!

I honestly don't understand why people are still using regular spring steel induction hardened blades or even bi-metal blades for resaw when the results from the carbide bandsaw blades is so much better? I am using a Lenox carbide blade on a MiniMax MM16 and the results are beautiful. Yes, it is more expensive but it lasts for very long time so the overall cost is lower. Maybe on a horizontal sawmill that might get rough or uncut lumber with nails and bullets you don't want to risk an expensive blade but for shop made veneer and bookmatched pieces it is hard not to see the benefits of carbide bandsaw blade.

Re: Would you buy a combo Shaper/Saw?

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

james,

makes sense, because from eshop i believe you get the tilt bracket and the gas assist. but with this parts list people can add the gas assist to existing tilt brackets. i am sure that not all vintage tilt brackets are pre-drilled (as mine is not) but that is a moot point as drilling is needed for DIY solution.

thanks for clearing this up. at least, i did not know you could just add gas assist to existing tilt bracket.

2 years ago, I contacted Felder Mississauga about the gas spring assistance for the tilt away bracket on my 2016 KF700sp, they sent me the attached tilt away bracket and gas spring assistance diagram, I looked at the diagram and produced the parts number I needed.

All the holes are pre-drilled on the tilt away bracket. Five?minutes install time is a bit exaggerated. Based on the installed picture, I think you can install it in 15 minutes using the following trick.

Yes, I would not DIY given Felder's fair gas sprint price, there is a trick to get it installed in 5 minutes,?I posted before. Just search "gas sprint".

I ordered my 2016 KF700sp with F48 and tilt away bracket without gas spring assistance.? After lifting the heavy F48 a dozen times, I decided to get the gas sprint, night and day difference.

Hi Michael, tooth width is 5 mm so suppose the main use would be for drawer bottoms

Wider blade with an exact 4mm vs 3.4mm. Seems like a super niche product to me. Went with a flat top tip blade but haven¡¯t had the opportunity to use it yet, all my cuts have been managed by the Felder adjustable groovers this far.?
