Thank you David!? Wow, I wish I had thought to swing the table back further, that would have greatly simplified the process.
I am also a Mulit-Router user, just saw your table extension, that is a great idea!

Re: KF700 Power Drive - setup question
You have to remove the saw trunion shipping bolts.
How is that possible? The saw blade is at 0 degree by default, I cannot image Felder ships a saw with the blade tilted at 19 degree.

I've read the manual three times and can't find any mention of a shipping bolt or wedge to remove. One hint is that my current-sensing dust collector turns on when I reach the limits. It doesn't turn on for any other power drive controls.?
Does someone know the trick?

If you don't mind secondhand books, try Abebooks.com first.? I've generally found much better pricing there than on eBay, Alibris, or Amazon, and Abebooks is often the only place to find some more obscure titles.? Also, many Abebooks sellers are outside of the U.S., which could be helpful to you.?
Looks like Gary Katz also sells all of his books and DVDs directly from his website:? ?

Thanks Michael. Ordered the finish carpentry book from eBay. Didn’t see the DVDs anywhere, other than ordering from eBay which would amount to well over 100$ by the time shipping and import tax is accounted for?

Great videos Jason. ?I went through a similar process with my AD751 (same vintage) in 2004 - not to install a Byrd head but to replace the bearings. ?Total PITA. ?I had a good chuckle at your comment “Why did they have to make this thing so complicated?”. ? I felt the same way. ?
I was able to get the tables to flip back further by taking off the stop bolts which gave enough clearance to get the bearing blocks for the cutterhead out. ?Photo below. ?I also discovered that the bearings would slip on if heated to 200 degrees first. ?What a pain that you had to send the Byrd head back to fit that drive belt pulley. ?But it looks like you ended up in good shape. ?Thanks for posting. ?Oh, and I like the simplicity of your old style bearing puller.

The most accurate way to ensure the machine chassis is not being twisted out of square by the leveling feet is covered in these two videos.?
The idea is to check the level of the cast iron top along the front and rear edges. ?If the two level readings agree, then the leveling feet are properly adjusted. ? If you want to invest in a level that’s accurate enough for this type of machine alignment, Brian Lamb makes a very nice unit (), or Grizzly has a version made in China ().
The problem with a K940 (which is the same chassis as my Kappa 400 xMotion) is that the four feet are at the corners, and if you have one of the four off the floor, the chassis will indeed flex enough that the cast iron table will have a slight twist. ?If you wanted to do this without using a precision level, then you’d want to use the two feet on the infeed side under the rip fence bar as two of the elements, and some kind of jack screw or block with shims midway between the two feet at the rear of the machine, get that setup level, then bring the two rear leveling feet at the back corners down until they reach the floor, then remove the temporary jack screw or block from between the two rear feet. ?That won’t be as precise as using a precision level, but will get you pretty close. ?I will DM you some additional information.

Is there a best practice for ensuring the machine frame is not being torqued via leveling feet? I imagine setting up on a balanced 3 foot stance then using the 4th to stabilize with minimal pressure is the proper method? --

I've watched your videos Jason, great work! I aspire to convert my 2004 AD741 to a spiral cutter head, someday.

Measure the exact distance from the blade to the edge of the fence extrusion and how low and stepped back do you want the step to clear the dust shroud. I can change the model and print a few for testing.

This is how I configured my leveling feet on the machine. ?I used the lower nut to adjust height - a washer is necessary here.?
Once the machine was level, I added a second washer and nut on the opposite side of the hole in the chassis, and tightened that top nut.
If your floor is has a lot of tilt - many garages are this way to create drainage toward the door - then you might want to get the longer version of the leveling foot from McMaster. ?That part number is 6111K372.

Many thanks David, do the levelling feet just sit loose in the unthreaded holes in the machine feet?
