This comes up often. System is not w/o flaw. Give it a sharp tap. After practice, on occasion I get a 10 thou advance vs 5 thou. This on a Dual 51.

Luckily for most operations on the table saw, I don¡¯t need to set the hight to 0.1mm accuracy.

I can¡¯t imagine having this mechanism on machines like planer or shaper.

It is really nice to be able to dial in the angle/height electronically, however I do have an issue with small height increments. Instead of raising the blade by 0.1mm each press, it usually increase it by 0.2-0.3 and the button is really sensitive. It might take me 2-3 trials to dial in the exact height.
for the tilt adjustment, it works perfectly and adjust the angle by 0.1 deg each press.

What is your expertise with the powerdriver?
Is it inherently that bad or is it a faulty unit I got?

Jeff, I have received manuals from Felder for at least 2 used machines. I prefer a soft copy as it is accessible on my phone and computer. Manuals stay in a safe place but I do pull them out when calibrating where I want to see larger images.

Try Google Translate.? It is amazing.??

Imran Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately the C3 jointer tables are nothing like the A3-41. Appreciate the thought though. ? ?

The files section of this forum has numerous manuals you can look at.....

My C3-31 came with english operator's and setup manuals, but the parts diagram legends are all in german.
The parts and circuit diagrams themselves are decent, my german is not.
I picked up a used dictionary , it helps a lot.

Re: Hard to turn angle/tilt wheel on K975
Little backlash should not be a problem you see a little room for the screw to turn. You¡¯re always adjusting. your final position against the thread or up so little loose would be better than too tight. Mac,, Designing and building for 50 years

Re: Hard to turn angle/tilt wheel on K975
Probably a stupid question, but why don¡¯t you just replace the parts from Felder? Mac,, Designing and building for 50 years

Coming back to this issue for closure... I raised the table and removed the UHMW nut (58). The nut appears to be cross-threaded for about 1/4 of its length. This would normally be difficult to do with an ACME-style thread. However, Felder ground the end of the threaded rod, probably to ease installation. This created very sharp edges on the two starting threads (it's a double-start thread). So, using the handwheel and some determination, I assume it's possible to cause the threaded rod to cut new threads. On the other hand, there's a slight chance the nut was made this way to reduce backlash, but I doubt it. To put things in perspective, I was initially unable to thread the nut on by hand.
Since my lathe isn't available at the moment, I used the rod to mark the areas where the rod and nut are tight, and a custom tool to "scrape" these initial threads. In the end, I was able to modify the nut sufficiently to thread it on by hand. It's still very tight, but it goes on, and there's absolutely no backlash. It will be a while before I can reinstall it, as I have to wait for some other parts while I have the table off (e.g., belts). However, I'm optimistic this has addressed the problem.

Re: Hammer K3 rip fence exploded view
I have the same fence as you, Jacques. Thanks for the pictures. It looks like you had to space it out even farther. I had some issues with the sheet metal from the table sticking out too far.? On Tue, Sep 3, 2024 at 12:38?PM Jacques Gagnon via <jacques.gagnon309= [email protected]> wrote:

Your previous message does not mention whether the fence you have uses the same approach as what is on my machine. I am nevertheless sending you a couple of photos showing the parts on my machine.

I hope this can help you solve your query.
