POLL: Metric or imperial (English) measurements?

From what I hear and also from a picture of one in the Christmas
catalog, the BF6-31 will be replaced some time this year with the CF700

fill us in.

Re: Sliding table - Any lubrication?
Jim, I've always used the Fluidum, which came in the little care kit with

Re: Sliding table - Any lubrication?
Dear Jim,
You should put any lubricant that contains oil, silicon or similar

Sliding table - Any lubrication?

Re: dust collector height
Geoff,
Before getting your message, I spoke to Pete at Felder, he said that

I assume you mean the AF-22... mine is mounted on the mobile stand, but John

Tilting shaper ideas
Hi Group... here's an idea I wanted to try on the tilting shaper using the
high-speed spindle - sliding dovetails. Usually a sliding dovetail is done
