Wow, that's scary Mark. I wonder if something similar happened to my shop mate Craig. Given how we found him, with lumber both under him and on top of him, and his leg twisted up in the ladder. We will likely never know.
I too am in the age group (still under 50 by a couple) where I largely feel invincible. This was a sobering reminder that doesn't matter. Craig just turned 60 and is in better shape than I am. His condition is stable, the brain bleeding is under control and no surgery is going to be required. His cognitive tests look good. He will be in the hospital at least a few more days while they monitor things.
We may have to reassess how we store lumber and make accessing it via the forklift easier. Jason Holtz

Re: AD941 vs. Baileigh JP-1898-NC
Tha ad941 standard guard is as shown below, is the guard you are talking about? When I bought mine last year I was actually looking at the ad741 which also comes with that guard so I added the ¡°comfort¡± guide which is what imran is showing has 2 hinged joints) which i think is $300-$350 (it¡¯s in the eshop). ?One thing lead to another and I was looking at the ad941, when I told the salesman to add the comfort guard he told me - yea, it shows the other guard in the pic be we swap it out with the comfort guard when we ship it to you. That was in Oct of 2019, even the replacement they sent me with a mid year 2020 had the comfort guard.

Thank You for all the replies and helpful information.?
The problem ended up being on the hinge side was so hung up and would not adjust down even with the bolts loose. I ended up using a clamp and making the adjustment and all is well. I also found a very useful video on setup on utube.

Sorry to hear this, the whole grabbing lumber off a rack on a ladder is risky business - a few months ?back I was on the third step (top one) of one of those lightweight aluminum step stools that have the wide platform at the top but the other 2 steps are narrow, i grabbed an 8/4 x 8¡± x 9¡¯ piece of Walnut of the top rack above my head and before I knew it I was on the floor, couldn¡¯t even move for like what seamed 30 min. I was pretty lucky I didn¡¯t wack my head on my workbench as i just missed it, I fell backwards and my hip landed on a corner of the bandsaw table before I hit the ground. Had my phone but it was on the workbench and I couldn¡¯t get up, seriously thought i was in big trouble as I couldn¡¯t get up. Pretty sure what happened was when I picked up the board it was off center and the inertia from it just flung me off the ladder.?
I think , at least for me who originally started out on their own at 19 did a lot of everything on there own in the beginning, there were no limits if it needed to get done it did now that I am getting older (50+, boo-hoo) I have found that I need to be a bit more careful in what I take on by myself (see above)...

to his side and applied pressure to his wound to stop the
bleeding. I kept talking to him and he came to, and was totally

after a couple minutes, but had no idea what happened. The

Cliff, the only 3d printers I have used are a zpinter which is a powder based printer, form3 and Markforged. Our plant in Luxembourg has a metal 3d printer and I have handled the parts and can tell you they are a bit rough and need post processing to finish them off nice, I don¡¯t know the cost per part of that machine (we don¡¯t really care in prod dev) but I can tell you the cost of that machine and the special room that needed to be built was well over 3 mil, so that that would eliminate it from the mix from being an ?affordable solution.?
The Markforged can print very strong (stronger than metal in some cases) and accurate parts, I would consider it for a replacement for the metal (alum) section for the k940, Kappa , the parts I printed on the Markforged ?and showed in this thread were printed in what i will call draft mode meaning the settings in the slicing software were set to print quick with limited material and resolution even with that I think (and I am guessing) the material cost for the three parts was around $70.?

So I decided I needed a zci for the new k940, thought I
would get away without one but here I am... I reached out to
David Best as I knew he had made one for the kappa. The k940
saw unit, top casting and 3 plastic segments appear to be
the same however I have the LED lights so wasn¡¯t sure if
David would be willing to modify his design and if it would
be worth the time/cost to do so. After a few back and forth
emails David decided to not take it on, a few key dimensions
were slightly different and could require a few iterations
to get it right which I agreed.?
David was so kind in allowing me to use his drawings,
however after I started to model it and compared it to my
parts in hand it wasn¡¯t adding up so I had to abandon the
drawings given and just start from scratch from my actual
parts.
So the first task was to model the LED section first as
it is the most difficult to work out, then 3d print, check
fit and make adjustments (done) After that 3d print all
the parts to confirm (tomorrow) and finally have machined
in aluminum (tbd)
The other unknown was how was the LED installed, the
only way to find out was to remove it which would
obviously void the warranty but after studying the elect
schematic and looking at the parts drawings I convinced
myself that it was no big deal and easy to fix if I
screwed up the LED strip.?
So here are some progress pics... note, the 3d printed
LED section is short due the the 3D printer bed not being
long enough, a bolt hole is missing so it is not tight
against the cast...

Below is the auto
score feature in action with the as delivered LED

Mark,
That makes sense. It is good to know that plastic might be an option, in case I ever get there.
Funny that I have had the blade chip away on the slider (others have reported it as well) even though it is 3 to 5 mm away but I do not recall any divots on the cast side into the plastic throat plates.

Not sure If I responded Anthony, the dovetail trick works great on the markforged printer, the software i used for the design is called Shapr3d (spelled that way) its for ipad with pencil and it is really great, the modeling engine that it uses is from Siemens NX which is a full blown hardcore industrial program?

Re: motor(s) overheating on vintage SCM Minimax
The motors are single phase 3.6 HP. When the motors have shut themselves off, they have been quite hot to the touch. Yes, they are fan cooled; the shop is always about 75- 80 degrees, and the motors have no sawdust build-up. Bearing sound good. Saw runs smooth and strong. SCM techs I talked to years ago seemed to think the motors were just wearing out. I did replace the main switch at one point, and that didn't change anything. I will see about measuring the amp draw, but electrical things are not my cup of tea. I'm just wondering what to say to the potential buyer without totally scaring him off. I will check to verify the cost of new motors, in case he ever needed to replace them.??

I learned this lesson when i was on the roof during constructing the addition behind my shop and my ladder fell. Yes, I know i need to secure it but it was on the opposite end of the prevailing wind side.

Here is a link for the item on the Felder shop.?
$180 to the lucky new owner.

My best to your partner. I had a lift of sheet goods come down on me but was hung up on a milk crate and didn't pancake my legs. After that I have my phone with me always. Thanks for the wake up call. We can never be too careful.

Years ago my father was on a ladder on a lower roof working on the second story and the ladder slid out from under him.? This was in the days before
cell phones. ??In the fall his leg was tangled in the ladder and it crushed his ankle.? He had to wait on the roof for 5 hours for my mother to get home to call for help. Agony.

I pray your mate comes out of it fully recovered and as soon as possible.
I learned this lesson when i was on the roof during constructing the addition behind my shop and my ladder fell. Yes, I know i need to secure it but it was on the opposite end of the prevailing wind side.
Another safety rule of our house, no chainsaw work when wife is not home. Does not matter if I have cell or not.

Yesterday in the shop, there were three of us fortunately. I'm usually aware of my surroundings and am quick to offer help before someone asks for it. Not yesterday though. I was applying finish, had my earphones on in my own world. That's when I heard the
crash from across the shop. My shop mate had been on a ladder getting some wood off of the storage rack. We found him on the floor on his back, twisted up in a pile of wood and the ladder. He was unconscious and bleeding badly from the back of his head. Called
911. We got all the wood/ladder moved off of him and I rolled him to his side and applied pressure to his wound to stop the bleeding. I kept talking to him and he came to, and was totally incoherent for a couple minutes. He started to make some sense after
a couple minutes, but had no idea what happened. The paramedics arrived within 10 minutes. They put a neck brace on him and got him sitting up for a minute, but he was very nauseous. They then put him on a gurney and took him out to the ambulance where they
checked him out further. Ended up at HCMC, a level one trauma center. CT scan showed a brain bleed and skull fractures. His cognitive test results were good. Hoping for the best. He may be there a while. I shudder to think about if he would have been in the
shop alone.?
Please check your risk factors. Ask for help when you need it. Your friends and family want you around.

These are scary but important reminders. ?I have too many times thought, ?wow that was stupid and I am lucky I got away with that. ?Usually it is also at the end of the day, like others have mentioned, and even more specifically ¡°the one last thing I'm going to do today.¡± ?I wish your colleage a speedy recovery! ?Thanks for the reminder. ?

Jason,
Wishing your friend a speedy recovery and he was fortunate to have his colleagues around to administer aid quickly.? One simply cannot be too careful especially in home/hobby shops especially as we get older...take a breather if your frustrated or tired, ask for help, or just walk away til tomorr
|
Hope he has a full recovery.?
I too bought an Apple Watch for this fall detection feature, but have since learned there are apps you can install on your phone that provides the same or very similar capability.?

TJ, good reminder. It's good to listen to yourself. I always seem to know beforehand when I'm about to do something stupid. Sometimes I can't focus on things, I just leave and come back later. Or tomorrow.?
I see the value of the Apple watch now. I don't know if I can bring myself to buy one though. Hopefully Android watches copy that feature. Jason Holtz
