Fw: Hegner Mk.4
Joel, Somehow I knew you might be interested in it. Here is the message I received from the Shopsmith Users Group e-mail list regarding the Hegner:

Stop nuts on cross-cut fence
Maybe I missed it in the manual, but I *think* I figured out the intended use for two stop nuts in the T-track on the back side of the cross-cut fence, at least as indicated in the assembly sheet that

Shaper spindle
This is a sort of a survey. When I ordered my BF6-31, I never gave too much thought to the shaper function. I'd never used a shaper and have a full shelf of router tooling. So I ordered the router

Re: Shaper spindle
...I've got 'em both, and, so far, haven't used either...keep in mind that you can always bush 30mm to 1 1/4" if needed, also the 30mm will fit the saw blades for slotting. Most major tooling houses

Re: Shaper spindle
hi Seth, I think you should not only get to swap your 1 1/4" spindle for a 30mm, but you should also get some money to spend on cutters. The 1 1/4" spindle lists for $330, while the 30mm lists for

Re: Shaper spindle
I have three spindles that came with my used BF6-31: 30mm, 1 1/4", and router. I plan to sell the 1 1/4" to a friend who has a need for it, and I'll just be sure to order 30mm cutters as I build my

Dado cutting poll reminder...
I see we have a few new members to the group - welcome! Just a reminder - there is an informal survey in progress on cutting dados with (or without) Felder equipment. If you haven't cast your

Re: POLL: Cutting Dados
I use a straight bit on the router with the Felder, also use a straight bit on a router table, I am in the process of trying to get a dado option running on the Felder but have a backup of using a

Re: Shaper spindle
Seth: I am in the same boat. I didn't know "come here from sic'em" about shapers I ordered an 1.25 inch spindle assuming that is was a US standard and found Felder did do that size of cutters. I

Re: Stop nuts on cross-cut fence
Oh well - and I thought I was on to something truly clever... turns out the tip about the stop nuts for automatically aligning the cross-cut fence only works on the fence for the outrigger table. The

Re: Shaper spindle
I usually recommend that new owners get the 30mm spindle with the shaper, unless they already own a number of 1.25" cutters. The 30mm cutters are available from a number of US manufacturers or US
By John Renzetti <J.Renzetti@...> · #107 ·
Re: Shaper spindle
Seth Actually, you should have BOTH spindles. The 1.25" is a standard U.S. size and the 30mm is a standard Euro (metric) size. Most U.S. made cutters will only be offered in 1.25" or 3/4" whereas the

Well, we're officially at 40 members. I closed the poll for the dado survey, and the web site sent out a results message that isn't terribly clear... the number after each option is the number of

Kay Phasemaster Question
Hi all, When I start up my Kay MA-1 Phasemaster, it sounds like it has bad bearings (whining) until it warms up a bit. This unit was never used, but sat for two years on its pallet before I purchased

Re: Kay Phasemaster Question
Geoff; This sounds (get it?) like a question for the manufacturer. It seems like anything that was exposed to a shop environment could be crudded up. Maybe Kay has a LN option -- like on your
