re you statement below, why would you not have bought your rotary phase converter? does it not do the job?

And don't be afraid to ask
questions before you jump in to something.? I wish I would
have asked before buying my rotary phase converter...I

Use copper, run your drops off the top of the line,
make a U to drop back down. Run down hill slope on the main
line, then at the end run a drop off the bottom, put a gate
valve on the bottom and drain any condensation in the lines
daily. A filter/regulator just after the compressor is
enough for what you are doing. Caution on lubricators, as
you may want a line without for spraying, oil in all of your
compressed air isn’t always what you want.

Ok so more
help.
I am reluctant to ask as not to be a pest. On
the other hand such quick simple answers are to be found
here.
I have spent a good amount of time online
reading and watching videos on proper plumbing for compresed
air.
I have become tired of moving my contractors
compressor all over my shop. I suppose i could just run a
flex air line along the floor but im kthe ndamneat freak and
that would just never fly for me. I'm a clean up after
every operation kinda guy. It keeps my brain
organized.
Anyway i was considering the soft air lines
with the quick fits. I have resigned to going 3/4 copper
with 1/2 drops. I'm will only use air for my air clamps
and a brad and pin nailer. Being a neat freak i stick to my
Festool sanders.?
I will put a on off ball valve and flex hose
to my compressor. My run is only 20' long with three
drops. The question is do i need a filter and lubricator at
every drop or can i just put one at the begining of my run
near my actual compressor.
I will not be upgrading my
compressor anytime soon as it is very low on my list of
"must have" priorities. When i do i am apt to go
for the 10 gallon ultra quiet California air unit for my
needs. The tool addict in me wants a two stage compressor
but for my needs i don't want to give up the space or
listen to the darn thing.?
So drops do i need a
filter at each one?
Any other insight is welcomed.

If you are not getting the yellow indicator light when in reverse on the shaper, then that usually means you have something open in the e-stop string. Check all the microswitches, make sure the steel cover over the blade area is in the right place. You have multiple switches on the planer section, also make sure the mushroom shaped e-stop switch is twisted and pops out.

If nothing physically looks wrong, you will have to get a continuity tester and start checking for where the e-stop string is open.

I’ve got a 2005 CF741SP with the 7.5 HP 3-phase motors hooked up to a PhasePerfect converter. I’ve been using it for years in the same configuration. Everything was functioning normally as I planed a piece of wood and made a few cuts on the saw. When I tried to use the saw for another cut, it wouldn’t start. I thought there might be an offcut jamming the blade, but that wasn’t the case. I checked all the limit switches and they seemed fine. I twisted the function selector knob a few times, thinking it might not be making contact. When all that failed, I used the power switch to turn off the CF, then turned off the phase converter. I waited for several minutes and tried again, to no avail. I tried again this morning with everything off overnight, and no change.

The phase converter is working, because my RL160 and bandsaw work just fine. On the CF, the digital readouts light up, but the only thing electrical functioning is the up and down motion of the shaper. Selecting reverse for the shaper does not illuminate the yellow light. The PowerDrive for the planer does not work.

I opened up the electrical panel on the CF and can see the green light on the Lenze VFD is on. When the CF main power switch is turned on, I get the usual high-pitched squeal and the humming of the VFD for a minute or two. The VFD does seem to hum (sounds like a fan) for longer than it used to on startup.

As you can tell from the above, I’m not much of an electrical expert. I’d appreciate some insights and suggestions as to what to check. I’m guessing that something isn’t right with the Lenze VFD, or maybe the function selector switch might be bad.

I can certainly give Felder a call, but I thought I’d run this by the group. I know that others have had similar situations in the past, but I’m having difficulty finding the old threads.

Thanks for any help.

That is a really big topic to try and fit into 25 words or less.

Price no object is an interesting wrinkle as well. Super modern or traditional?

Why don't you guys formulate some questions, but starting with the basics you need to first decide the basic lighting tools you will use.?

Lets start with recessed lighting, still the most common way to light a kitchen. The cost will not relate to the quality of light itself but to the look and presentation of the light fixture. Best bang-to-buck I know of is Lightolier L3. The most expensive I use, and I use them by the hundred, is the $750usd per can Lucifer Zero Sightline square flush in wood or GWB fixture, where the fixture is plastered in and the ceiling is perfectly flat without any trim flanges. Number 8 lighting is also common. If that isn't fancy enough Specialty Lighting makes a flush flangeless fixture for wood with a wood insert trim. You ship them the wood you're putting on the ceiling and they CNC it into a fixture trim so when you are done you see continuous planks and fixtures in the same wood.?

In my house I'm going with the L3 fixture.

Another way we go sometimes is to run continuous flush strips of light, 1" or 2" wide by however long. Look great in a very modern house, see Pure Lighting's Dots and Dashes series for that.

Can you establish some parameters?

Gary's if memory serves me right the whole shaper fence mechanism tips up on an angle. By doing this could you use an aftermarket fence adapted to the hole pattern. Also for you or anyone that uses the Aigner Bowmould, is there any setup issues on the Profile.?

If you remove the Aigner fence on the Profil x motion and make a wooden fence it will handle a small router bit. ?I recently did this to use a custom bit to cut a bead on replacement siding for a 17th century house.

On the non-automated fences you can drill more holes in the shaper table to allow mounting the hood further back for more clearance. This is not possible with the X-motion hood and fence.
