Mark,
There is not too much room to adjust the ceramic?guide after the knob is overtightened. Yes, the ceramic guide is parallel to the blade.
Slightly tightening the knob does not affect the quality of the cut.

Adjusting the guides after the knob is tightened doesn¡¯t work? Is the guide parallel ?to the blade?? Regards, Mark ? Jay,
I am not sure what you mean about the upper guide clamp.
What I found is over-tightening the knob in the picture below pushes the steel guide with the attached ceramic guide to the left, which pushes the blade to the left. So I make sure not to overtighten the knob.?

The performance is barely acceptable and will live it for the time being.? It is a good thing I have a drum sander.?

I spun the top wheel 13 times. 10 times it came to rest at 5-6-7 o¡¯clock. 3 times it stopped at 12. How much weight and what type of weight would I use??
Ran the motor alone, minimal vibration, not ?really smooth.?
This saw is sitting on the mobility device. I need to try it on a solid base tomorrow. That should help some.?

One would hope the technician would know how to adjust the guides¡

As David said,
Make sure that when you push the cart inside the RL and lift the handle the bag is not pinch by the air vacuum tube at the back.

Me neither. Although I did have an issue with the tilting function. The tech swapped out the guides and it resolved. FB510

Wow, Something is absolutely wrong. If Felder technician cannot fix such excessive vibration, Felder should give you a full refund.
Btw, I have Felder FB510, I do not have the vibration issue.

Mark, ? You may have the black tube blocked that allows a vacuum to hold the bag in the?bin. Dave Davies
Hi,
Just got my new RL125 up and running. Done a small amount of work, then thought I would look to see how much the extractor had collected.
On pulling the wheeled bin out noticed the bag had been sucked up inside the machine, any idea what I am doing wrong please.
Mark.

This is what the vibration is like with the upper guide clamped down tight.

Hello Bill,
I purchased and received a FB510 last year and found that the upper guide would shake excessively. ? I went through all the isolation tests and had to have a Felder technician come out to see if he could fix the problem.
He changed out a wheel, pulleys, etc. with no resolve. ? The only thing that seemed to minimize the vibration was to make sure that the upper guide clamp was not screwed on too tight. ?
If your interested, I can see if I have videos showing the vibration.
Very disappointed with the FB510.

I will give that?a try...
