Re: dust collection question
Also Felder has proven over the years their actual specs listed in catalogs are up for debate as far air flow goes. Many misprint. Austria being a metric country calculate in Cubic Meters per minute which sometimes gets confusing for those accustomed to Cubic Feet per minute.?

3hp is 3hp, doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s a single or three phase motor. If the specs say the same CFM is accomplished, then the specs are most likely wrong, or they are using the same exact impeller and housing and the 4hp motor is essentially over kill for the application. Don¡¯t forget, Felder uses the S1 and S6 motor specifications, so hp is a relative term depending upon the rating of the motor¡. the S1 3hp motor is the same as a S6 4hp motor. It is a marketing gimmick.
when i look up AF 22 on eshop there is something interesting. 3HP, 3ph moves same amount of air as 4HP, 1ph unit. anyone know if these specifications are correct?
i am interested in understanding if 3ph motor has advantage over 1ph. this might be a good example possibly showing (or not) that the higher torque of 3ph can do more actual work under load than a 1ph motor both pulling same current.

Re: Dual51 outfeed roller
Always clean and use a good wax on the tables as well.? that really helps the boards slide along smoothly.. I use Briwax - clear or renaissance wax..?

Re: Looking for a used J/P with spiral cutter
Typically it can depend on type of cut. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices for?quality of cut especially as knives get duller. I know when I take 20" wide, 1/16"+ cut deep planing cut on a piece of white oak its sure nice to have the lowest feed setting of 16'/min on my AD951. It would also be nice to have 10 HP when doing that cut.

Re: Looking for a used J/P with spiral cutter
Thanks David, that¡¯s exactly what I was talking about. I have the power drive. The lower ¡°home¡± position should be a standard position. Raising the table to a specific number is fine. So I can do that on the 951 digi drive but not the 941 power drive, hmmm...? bummer?

when the jointer tables are lifted the planet table is already lowered. do you mean a single button to lower the planer table so that jointer tables can be brought down.
i would not be surprised if there are internal improvements but the tables are super easy to lift and once beyond a distance you can leave them in air and would not fall.
if you do a lot of glue ups it is nice to flatten wider panels. Maybe look into the used dual51 felder has and sell yours to michael¡¯s friend.

last night i had difficulty feeding boards using the back half of the planer but no issues with feeding in the front half. the table is similarly clean.
infeed roller looks good but the outfeed (steel) roller can stand to be cleaned. is a bit/blade cleaner okay for this?
i tend to use front half for jointing and back half for planing thinking i am using all of the knives length. although, planning is usually a lot more than jointing.
anyhow, i used a lot of cypress last year and the back half of the outfeed roller is not as shiny as the front half. i am assuming it might have resin build up from pushing freshly cut cypress.
thanks,
imran

Re: K975 under table dust extraction problem.
Hi David:
This is a ¡°germane¡± response as probably more than some of us has had issues with the lower dust extraction hose ¡°popping off¡± just as Phil describes. Me included.
Thank you for your explanation on your K975. I¡¯m curious whether you have successfully used the stiffer H/SE on your Kappa 400? I have struggled, similarly to Phil, to keep the dust extraction hose attached, and in serviceable condition. After my hose disintegrated, I tried using the H/SE on my Kappa 400 without much success. There is so little space in the machine base that the stiffer hose kept popping off, no matter what I did.
After a few months of fighting, I ordered some of the inferior but much more flexible hosing and have used that. Of course it will disintegrate in a couple of years time. Very curious if you have successfully installed the stiffer variety hose on your Kappa 400?

Phil,
If your hose is the right length when the saw is at 45-degrees, and kinks when it¡¯s at 90-degrees, then you¡¯re using the wrong hose.
Felder sells two types of flex-hose. ?One is light duty which they install in the machines and the plastic disintegrates in a few years, the other is a much higher quality H/SE hose that isn¡¯t quite as flexible, but is smooth on the inside and is flexible enough work inside the K975 or Profil 45 shaper:
<screenshot_3884.jpeg>
Both are sold by the meter in length. ? You can probably buy that original hose for the K975 cut to length as a spare part, but it will disintegrate in a couple of years. ? When I had my K975, I used the H/SEE Felder hose and it was still in great condition when I sold the machine 10 years later. ? I have had the 160mm H/SE hose on my RL160 to Nordfab piping for 15 years now and it¡¯s still in great condition.
Thanks for the responses to my problem.??Before posting I had already tried different lengths of the flexible hose including the shortest length to run from the saw unit at 45deg which I found to be around 34¡±.? The problem came when returning the saw to 0deg (or 90deg blade) when one could observe much kinking of the hose within a very confined space.? It was clear that whilst some air would still move through the hose, there was no way that this is conducive to either a high flow or long hose life.? In the absence of a better suggestion and when Axminster has this back in stock, this is what I propose trying:? In the meantime I will use a short run of hose for the 0deg (or 90deg blade) setting which is used for much of the time and disconnect the hose for angle cuts beyond 15deg at which point the hose and saw unit separate.? It¡¯s a bit of a dog¡¯s breakfast design, presumably not the work of someone who uses the saw.? Phil?

Did they tell you what is a "qualifying voltage", or did they just ask what the voltage was? Consider the predicament that your situation creates.? Your voltage was 3.75% over nominal 240v. Felder says that's not good enough and so you buck it down 3.75% to exactly 240v.? Later, your utility fluctuates to 238v, which is less than 1% deviation from 240v, and surely good enough for Felder.? But you buck that down 3.75%, and now you're at 229v, or 4.5% from 240v. So you have some issue, call Felder, they ask what voltage at the machine is, you report, and they say 4.5% voids your warranty.
