Re: CNC (or at lest programmable) shaper setup adivce?
Why do you want a large sliding table for the oversized door?? Martin makes the best sliding table, and they do not put it on their shaper, this tells you something.
Check the following youtube video.
Also, the flagship Format 4 profil 92 emotion from Felder does not have the sliding table either.

All,?
I am considering the cost/value proposition of investing in a shaper setup that has automated programmable?setup capacities (or more?). I am curious what your recommendations may be for shopping brands, models,? and options. I'm becoming less convinced that a used machine will show up on the market as I've been looking for a while and what I've seen has pretty much only been Joe in N.O.'s Profile45, but admittedly I was looking for a larger sliding table to run oversized door setups, and I'm not totally convinced the Felder offerings are the only ones I should be looking at.?
Currently I'm invested in the 700z-class of shaper and not sure I'd want to give them up. I'd even consider putting on an upgraded fence module that can give me the automatic adjustments, but not sure if it is possible or if I can do it feasibly compared to adding another machine.?
With tedious manual setup inefficiencies switching back and forth on small projects I'm assessing the opportunity cost of all those nickels and dimes per se.

Re: Cetol Door & Window now PPG Proluxe
There is no mention of sanding between coats in the application instructions. Any recommendations? I am applying it to western red cedar.

I will prepare more parts. Had I known it will go so quick, I would have prepared everything.

It’s great stuff. The first coat dries in a reasonable amount of time, depending on your weather conditions, but subsequent coats take forever to dry if you do full coats in cold temperatures, so plan accordingly. I’ve wiped it on in thin coats before, if it’s cold. If you do, it takes a lot more coats, but you have less bugs doing belly flops in it at least. A nice heavy coat that stays wet for a day?is really inviting for anything that happens to fly by.? -Shawn On Sunday, January 3, 2021, 10:55 AM, imranindiana via groups.io <imranindiana@...> wrote: I have no great experience in finishing but I have to say that I have not used anything that is so easy and quick to apply.

Re: CF-531 won’t start after replacing selector switch
That switch may have come with jumpers installed to make it look like the original electrically.? Without a wiring diagram for the original it will
be difficult to determine with a multimeter as that switch is presumed defective.? At this point I would contact Felder to see if the switch came ready to install or if the jumpers should have been moved to match the original.

Subject: Re: [FOG] CF-531 won’t start after replacing selector switch
?
Thanks, Joe and Imran
I bought the new switch from Felder. It was specified after their technician did his on-site troubleshooting to determine that it was, in fact, the switch causing the original problem with my machine.? ?So, I can only assume they knew
what old switch it was replacing.? At the time, I had asked for a wiring schematic, but they didn’t send anything.
?
As mentioned, the new switch came with jumpers installed between terminals, but I removed all of these and replaced them with jumpers to match the connections on the old switch.? I suspect, as Joe mentioned, that some of the jumpers that
came with the new switch were there to replicate the switching function of the old switch.? I wish I had taken a photo of the jumper configuration on the new switch before taking them all off.?
I also saw reference to the A11 switch in the Kraus & Naimer catalog that Imran found, but couldn’t find the specific model matching the new switch, nor could I find any reference to the old A14 switch.?
I hope to talk with Felder on Monday and get a wiring schematic for the new switch (and old switch, if different).? I will also reach out to Kraus & Naimer to see if they can help me with the switching configuration of the two switches.?
Of course, it’s possible that I somehow didn’t wire the new switch up exactly the same as the old one, but I was pretty careful – doing one terminal at a time.?
Thanks again for your help and suggestions.? Will keep you posted.?

Martin slider is indeed phenomenal. The build quality is absolutely the best in the world. The parallelogram outrigger table is so nice and easy to use.

I am a bit surprised?that when installing the sliding table, the young guy slammed the sliding table multiple times.
James Bomb-proof is how I describe them.? Much better build quality than a 590 - in my humble opinion.? Sorry Felder.

Re: Kappa 400 Below Table Dust Extraction + Kappa 400 Review
Hi Mac,
Forgive me guys, but the below table ducting is 120mm on my machine. Let’s blame it on one too many cocktails during the holiday period. Sorry.?
The Kappa design, at least from years ago, has an unfortunate s-bend in the ducting, which goes to a static duct/port on the machine base. This means the ducting external to the machine base does not move. Inside, as the saw unit moves through 45 degrees, the internal flex ducting contorts between the fixed duct end inside the machine base, and the moving end on the saw unit.?
Dust extraction at 45 degrees is even worse than at 90 degrees, in my experience.?
There is so little space in there that it is extremely difficult to tighten a hose clamp. The 120mm is actually sufficient if it were to come straight out the back like your SCMI. Of course 150/160mm would be better. On the Kappa, the area around the blade itself has been choked down (small cross sectional area). There are also plenty of obstructions and no smooth pathway for airflow to carry away chips and dust.?
Let me reiterate that while the dust extraction is not as good as it should be, it’s not all doom and gloom. I’d buy this saw again!
All machines have shortcomings. I’m comfortable with that!
