I appreciate that datapoint. The Felder website has no information on this. Is the ¡°F38¡± the Comatic AF38 http://www.co-matic.com/en/product/AF38-Stock-Feeder and is the ¡°F32¡± the Comatic AF32

Re: Building a closet for dust collector
For a circular saw cutting maybe5 minutes an hour, yes. For continuous duty use of things like dust collectors, vacuum hold down tables, and CNC equipment running multi-hour jobs it can get real hot

Having just mounted the long arm and a f38 power feeder back onto the saw... if they make a magnetic base... wow, it¡¯s gotta be special, because this thing is heavy. Heavy heavy like moving it on

Re: Getting started in shaper tooling

I completely agree with Michael. I have AD741 with power drive and KF700sp in a double car garage. AD741 is fine, switch is quick and simple. I have to admit I do not use shaper as much as saw on the

Re: Building a closet for dust collector
And practically speaking, most of this has very little to do with calculating a simple answer for heat gain in your workshop. Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

Maybe it¡¯s better to think of work and heat as both being kinetic energy. ¡°Work¡± is potential energy converted to mechanical energy which is kinetic and potential energy into the system. This

I'm curious what everybody's thoughts are about attending IWF this year? I just received an email saying it's still a go and 91 days away. SWMBO isn't overly excited about the prospect so I may be

Re: Building a closet for dust collector
You think no energy is consumed shearing the wood fibers? Maybe I¡¯m an idiot, but I don¡¯t think all energy is equated to heat gain in the building. There is theoretical and there is practical.

As another cf owner- keep as many separates as you can. If I had my way, I¡¯d have separates versus the combo. Moving stuff around to reconfigure, even as great as the engineering is, it¡¯s still

A DC40 (4 roller feeder) is MUCH heavier than the baby feeder shown in the link.. I recommend you mount the DC40 otherwise it could get dangerous.. Regards, Chris Perren 512-415-6951 Sent: Tuesday,

Better eat your Wheaties, a DC40 with mount let alone a magnetic base is something to move and store. The video only shows a baby feeder being used, the mount for the DC40 weighs more than that whole

I had the high speed router spindle and used it for bits - mostly edging and did not have any problem with it. I may be mistaken but I think it was 15000 RPM

Waste of money because it won¡¯t work or is just sub-optimal? I¡¯m aware of the challenge of the relatively slow RPM of the shaper compared to a router table. I don¡¯t have the shop space luxury of

Re: Building a closet for dust collector
Brian, where then did the energy go? Idling a saw energy is mostly losses in the motor. The rest is moving the air near the blade and that heats the air? This is a fundamental physics reality. Not

Re: Building a closet for dust collector
Brian, the point is doing the work creates heat too. Take a milling machine. The motor has inefficiency, heat. The motor moves things in the mill, some friction some more heat. Then the cutter removes
