Lucky, yes I had to improvise with what I have, I only do this part time so I cant justify spending $$ on a dedicated industrial complex.? the dead zone behind panel saw is really useful for bandsaw, I can almost utilise the slider if I need to.? I cut full sheet (8x4) ply, particle board or MDF from time to time, no issues. it just clears. however there is only about 5'8" to the right of the panel saw, not ideal, if I get long stock I cut it outside.?

Put the selector button in reverse for the shaper, see if the yellow light comes on. If it doesn’t, you have an open connection in your e-stop string. All the limit switches and stop buttons are daisy chained into one circuit, if any of
them are open, you can’t start the machine.

I used my the Shaper this morning, then switched to saw and it is not starting. I’ve tried:
-
Power cycling
-
Fuses checked with ohm meter
-
Safety switches properly engaged
-
Switching from saw to shaper several times
Neither the saw nor shaper will start.?
Any guidance is appreciated.?

For the KF 700S the Felder catalog lists the 1300mm outrigger as standard, while also listing the three lenghts available for the slider.
Yet, I have been told that if you get anything other than the 8 foot slider, you must choose the 1500mm outrigger. Can anyone confirm whether or not I can order a 9 foot slider with a 1300mm outrigger??

Re: opinion on Wilton variable speed drill press
Hi Steve,
i really appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback. yes i was interested in this model for metal work. the auction also has a model with higher speed range more appropriate for wood. an urgent family matter came up last night so i am unable to pursue this. actually auction might be close to over by now. seems like good price but there is no word on condition. had i foond it earlier i could have seen them in person. i did. find out that all 20” doall bandsaws are 460V.

The only problem I have had is with the sheave variable speed as it locked up due to the lithium grease separating from the carrier.? That stuff is like glue getting it apart to clean and lubricate.?

Re: Felder 40mm cutter profile head
Chris,
ASAIK, you can use 40mm or 50mm blades/limiters in the larger felder universal safety cutter head. the smaller felder universal safety cutterhead only uses 40mm blades.
i assume that only a small portion of the blade can be unsupported. hope this is helpful.

Re: Felder 40mm cutter profile head
Chris, as long as holes match up there would be 7.5 overhang ,, no issue at all but I would ask whitall what they think there ?is a rule of thumb, based on knife thickness just don’t remember what it is, Rengate or Schmidt would be better qualified , I am going by my experience only with 60 degree corrugated. Although I do have a few of those heads. Ther is also rule of thumb for knife thickness to knife extension past cutter body. Mac,,, Designing and building for 50 years

Re: [felder-woodworking] Install gas spring assistance for the tilt-away bracket for KF700
I tried rotating it and I still can't push it all the way down.? The spring is stronger than me (and the feeder) - which either means its a strong spring or a weak me.? I'm going to buy a less powerful spring and see how that works.??

Albert:
Thanks for the shop pics. You really pack it in. I was reminded of how the bandsaw can be positioned quite effectively in the dead zone off to the right and behind the sliding table saw (when standing at the slider). I have the impression, however, that your combo thicknesser/jointer would be in the way of your sliding table saw work, especially if you had something big on the saw — like a sheet of ply, or a large table, desk, door, etc. Do you move it when necessary, or is there actually more room than I imagine...?
Thanks again for sharing.
