Re: New resaw setup
Brian, hasn't been 80's here for a couple months. This was first thing in the morning when the heat is just coming up in the shop.
Dave, this feeder is heavy. You would not want to take it on and off very often.? Brett, because of the pressure module being mounted in the t slot, it's totally adjustable front to back. Yes, this was set with the apex of the rear wheel just behind the teeth of the blade. We have it set up to cut door skin veneer here, about 3/16" thick. The?pressure module has in and out adjustment via a hand crank, and we've determined that for each slice you cut off of your board, 1.5 cranks will be perfect pressure for the next slice. It's so easy it feels like cheating. One improvement we are going to be making-is adding a contact roller or curved fence type device above the belt, inline with the blade to provide support for taller work. The belt is only 6" wide, so presumably resawing a 12" wide plank might introduce some inconsistency.? I might resaw the super figured red gum eucalyptus I have without fear of screwing it up!

Re: Where to buy bearings? I recall people recommending someone online
I'm with Tom on this one. I have two local bearing supply houses that 98% of the time have what I need, on the shelf in SKF or Nachi. Often a couple dollars more than ordering it online, but I don't care about that. I'd rather pay more, talk to a live person who knows what they're talking about, and have it the day I discover I need it. We've lost a lot of places like that the last 10 years and I do my best to support the ones that are still around.

Re: Laser Kerf Line for slider saw?
开云体育Brett, i am sure you know Felder makes one for bandsaws. bit salty for me as a hobby user. I do not know if anyone has tried mounting it for saw application. imran On Nov 21, 2020, at 11:25 AM, Brett Wissel <Brettwissel@...> wrote:

I'm envisioning it being mounted to an overhead guard mount or even from an isolated ceiling mount. Just didn't know if anyone had a practical and/or reliably accurate one, I'm still aggravated by using my feeler block for clearance and fumbling the stock around, seems like it could be better.

Re: Laser Kerf Line for slider saw?
开云体育i mounted a cheap laser on ceiling but it did need adjustment. shop has been rearranged and i have not moved the laser. since i use clamps i pulled back the slider after straight line ripping the first board and then align laser to the cut edge. it is definitely not ideal. there are plans on net for better ceiling mounts that were shared here. imran?

Re: new to me, benefit of scoring
开云体育Randy also mentioned two (i assume opposing) screws work for him. i did not have room for that in this case. so looking forward to trying that before i give up. if i end up using it a lot, I would make a clamping station to allow 90 deg corner and T joints. imran On Nov 21, 2020, at 9:56 AM, Jason Holtz <jholtzy@...> wrote:

I don't like how the drill bit tears out on veneered plywood, but other than that it's totally fine and fast. I've never had much trouble with the shifting you all are complaining about. I apply a little glue, clamp flat to my table, and drive two screws. Unclamp and move onto the next. I like that it's quiet too. Those PC routers in the Castle machines are real screamers.

Re: New resaw setup
开云体育
I think those feeders were well received but expensive.? Laguna seems to take good ideas and cheapen them down to where they don't work .? Is the unit fairly light in comparison to the typical feeders ?? Dave

As many of you know, I'm an auction hound. It really paid off recently when I found this bandsaw feeder, brand new in the box, and local!?
This is not your typical Comatic type bandsaw feeder. This is completely different, it's basically a infinitely variable speed edge sander, with a outboard pressure module. It's Italian made and was imported by Laguna for a little while. They reportedly tried to have it copied in China and it didn't work out so well. I'd never seen or heard about this thing before, but we decided to give it a shot. The auction ended and we got it for about $800. Higher than I would have expected, but way cheaper than any other bandsaw specific feeder. We learned that it was supposed to attach to the Laguna Driftmaster Fence, which has also been discontinued. We ended up having a bracket fabricated to attach it the Felder 540's fence rail. We are intending to dedicate this saw to resaw, so we didn't mind loosing the stock fence ability. The pressure module is designed to slide into the t-slot. As you know, the Felder slot is very shallow, so we milled the bar to fit, and just use a single clamp to keep it in place rather than drilling and tapping. It's also easy to remove this way. Here's a short video of it in action, and a photo of the cut. We are using a 3/4" Wood Slicer blade in the video. The quality on both sides, offcut and the thin piece are good enough to glue to. No need to re joint the plank before cutting another. We will probably put a Lenox carbide blade on once we use up our stash of Slicer blades.  -- Jason J.
