Hi Greg,
I thought it was rated higher, but to answer your question. No problems thus far (4 years). ?Although it is almost always set in place and I just jack it up to move it and set it back down elsewhere. Which I¡¯ve done maybe 20 times.?

Re: planer power drive height adjustment?
?Ameer,
If you have not yet called Felder, I will save you the trouble. I put a ticket in yesterday and got a call today. It is SW revision.
Upon inquiry I am told that the error codes that appear in my manual in Digi-Drive section also apply to power drive. Since Power drive is sec 8.8 and?Digi-Drive is sec 8.9, I assumed sec 8.9.9 only apply to?Digi-Drive.?Here is an example from my manual:

Glad that worked for you! Interesting that your dro just shows the number. I figured U 2.1 was a software version but perhaps it is an error code? I'll have to contact felder support and inquire.

Re: Reborn Felder owner / blade hoices
I appreciate the input. Although Market Place Felder seems like an awesome deal, I will stick to my decision. I am curious as to why someone is selling a saw just a few months old. However, my shop is small and the K700 that I bought will be a good fit. Because of the nature of the work that I do, I prefer not to have a large outrigger. Felder gave me some nice incentives to purchase now.?
I paid 11,500 for a k700s 9¡¯ with overhead guard in 2019¡ ?Hi Ed, your question is about blades but you mention interest in a K700 so I thought I would mention a Facebook marketplace post for a K700S that is a few months old. Seller is asking $11,500, located in WV. No affiliation with the seller.

The instructions that came with mine say the same thing -
?
The red bolt sets the tension on the ball bearing the Prolock, it is adjusted at th factory and should not be turned.? This is what the Owner of Prolock told me at LIGNA when we bought a batch of pro locks for our super spindles.?
?
?
The instructions I received with mine are instructions for the saw blade lock.? Does anyone know if we are to do anything with the red flat blade screw?
?Thanks to Michael Marsico, received?ProLock shaper spindle locking caps today. FWIW, there is an icon on top to indicate that the allen set/grub screw is the one to tighten.
I did not know how this gizmo works. The split screw that is hand tightened has a dome shape on the underside.
The cap has the negative profile. Once the screw is hand tightened I assume the two profiles marry/merge. Now as the allen grub screw is tightened the 2 halves of the screw spread. This should impart a downward force on the lower cap.
At least that is what I am theorizing after looking at it.
?Thanks for the replies, it took a pair of pliers to break the knurled screw free, all is good now

Michael,
Thanks for the update. Especially, the note that two switches will fit in the slider. Certainly a more elegant solution.

Re: Reborn Felder owner / blade hoices
I have ?a few Freud LU2A21 (48atb) and a few other tooth configs of the same line, they are very good with no complaints.? I was told by A Felder tech that the Felder Silent power blades were the same and made by Freud and leitz, have a silent power 48 and other than markings look almost if not identical to the Freud.

Re: Reborn Felder owner / blade hoices
I've been riding the Felder combo blade quote happily but decided next sharpening it's getting swapped out by the recommendations of many here - the Tenryu 300mm class of blades. I haven't put them on yet because I just received them today, but I like the ability to keep the scoring blade set up while swapping out the blades with the same kerf if I need to switch combo out to rip, or a specialty purpose. Pricing also quite reasonable from after navigating the strange way they list their tenryu offerings. I know the tenryu website lists all offerings but these 4 are in that system. 300-dia / 28-tooth count / cbd3 tooth arrangement is format of part #.?

This may work in some cases, but not if one or both circuits are GFCIs, and you create an unsafe situation where if one plug is unplugged, the unplugged male plug can have live voltage.?

I had considered posting this in the Mafell forum, but I suspect there's a little more electrical aptitude here. I've been using a Mafell ERIKA 70 for several years now for my on-site work, and I just can't say enough good things about it. For those not familiar with the machines, this video gives a brief overview of pull-push saws:??They are sort of like a portable sliding saw, with the option to either rip or crosscut depending on how you configure it. Changing configurations only takes a couple seconds, and for crosscutting I've found it far more accurate than a miter saw.?
While I am trying to perform more work in my Shop, I think I am destined to spend a sizable portion of my career performing work on-site, so having a good portable solution is important.?
Anyways, with the recent minor facelift of the Erika line, Mafell has discontinued the 120V option on the Erika 70, leaving all of the Erika models now in only 240V. I believe that the machines destined for the NA market are 240V 60Hz, "stock" machines are 240V 50Hz. So, I'm going to jealously guard my 120V Erika 70, but I can see the writing on the walls, and was wondering what my options might be in the future should I either:
?1. Need to replace my Erika 70 120V with a Erika 70 or 85 240V 60Hz, or:
2. Acquire a Erika 60 240V 50Hz for those small jobs where the 70/85 is overkill
My requirements are:
- Need to be able to work on-site in residential settings, with access only to 120V 60hz power. - Needs to supply 240V 60Hz (50Hz would be nice for the Erika 60), the Erika 85 draws 2,500 watts, the Erika 60 draws 1,300 watts - Needs to be a portable solution (preferably <40 lbs)
- Needs to be a solution that is weather tolerant (needs to be able to handle snow, drizzle, heat, cold, etc.....)
- If it¡¯s a battery solution, I can charge 240V in my Shop overnight
- I am usually able to prep most of my materials ahead of time in my Shop, so the on-site work is mostly ripping and trimming cuts. This is a low-volume, one-person show, so not terribly intensive use
I suppose the simplest solution would be something like the Festool Sys-Powerstation??, but I wonder if there are portable step-up transformers or "hardened" VFD solutions? In terms of the Festool Sys-Powerstation, I wonder if anybody would be willing to work with me to get a 240V model imported to NA (please message me privately for this). Or, am I simply out of luck and need to start going with the flow, reverting back to a miter saw and table saw (say it ain't so!!)??
Anyways, I know there's a lot of creativity here, and would be curious what thoughts folks might have. Thank you in advance for any tips or advice.....?
