Re: Easy-Lock & Quick-Lock
The ¡°short leg¡± is what Felder intends to be the ¡°leveling leg.¡± ?This is Austrian engineering at it¡¯s finest. ?Felder anticipates that many people will not be adding leveling feet to all four corners, ?and will probably have the machine just sitting squat on the floor. ?On an uneven floor, that would mean three points would be on the floor, the 4th point would not. ?So they purposely shortened one leg with the expectation that it would be jacked up to ensure the machine doesn¡¯t rock and tilt. ?My Kappa came with one leveling foot for that purpose. ?It is the case that if the floor is dead flat, the machine will rock about if the leveling foot isn¡¯t installed - I tested that bit.

Actually, weirdly, there are only 2 holes pre drilled on the inboard side - one on each ¡°leg¡± for seems about a 3/8¡± hole. One ¡°leg¡± is shorter than all the others and had one leveler installed. The other two corners beneath the slider had no holes at all so I drilled for the 3/8¡± studded feet that I had but will need to open them all up to the 1/2¡±.? ? I¡¯m surprised you can get 1/2¡± studs into the holes on the bottom of the machine chassis. ?Every Felder machine I have or have seen has 11mm holes, which is too small for a 1/2¡± stud.
This is what I used on my Kappa 400:

Yes, used a 2¡± pad version of the below from mcmaster, seemed fine on the k700 and one corner is like 1.5¡± - 2¡± in the air. Doesn¡¯t seem enough on the k940 so i am installing 4¡± with 1/2¡± stud and extra thick oversized washers only because the ones u get at the big box are junk... using the grade 8 jam nut because one corner needs to be as close to the floor as I can get, should be ok.

? Thanks Mark, your photo explains it well. Question did you use leveling feet on your K700S? The layout drawing shows them, looks like 8 of them. Unfortunately my floor is not very level where my saw goes and I have had to shim/use levelers with all of my past saws in my shop. After 20+ yrs I am thinking about hiring a company to grind the floor to level out the high spots and put on a nice epoxy coating before the arrival of my new K700S 20 weeks from now.? Pat Rice

Agreed that there is no heat issue.? There's a pull out tray, air space, then insulation.?
Joe, I don't have a lot of the Bolivian rosewood,? but using it for details where it's tight grain is highlighted helps conserve it.
Those Viking range tops are designed to be installed into residential cabinetry.?
Won¡¯t be an issue in that cart.?
Have no idea on your hot plate.? All appliances have an accompanying data sheet that will spec its limitations.?
D ?Nice!? Question...do you worry about the heat from the range affecting the wood cabinet's top?? Is there a layer of insulation between the range and the wood top?? Or is the heat not a problem?? I have a commercial hot plate that in need of something similar to your cabinet, but have not looked into the heat problem (if there is one).??

Does this help in moving the machine? i.e. getting a pallet jack under which otherwise be too wide? Imran

Looks great! ?Our indoor kitchen runs on Propane in Bend and it works great! ?I did not have to build any supporting devices though. ?
Will you ever run out of bolivian rosewood? ?

Re: Machinery Choice and Workshop Layout
Hi Michael!?
Yeah, I'm crossing my fingers that the 3200mm setup will "actually" fit, if so I suspect I'll really appreciate it.?
The layout is a bit outdated, but thanks. I'll work on revising it once Grizzly updates their software. I've found that, for myself, this has been a very useful tool in terms of sorting out shop layouts, and will be nice for planning dust collection, lighting, and outlet placements.?
As far as the A3-41 goes, it's a great machine and has really opened a lot of doors for me in terms of finally owning a jointer and a non-benchtop thickness planer. I agree with you that the change over is pretty painless, and since I work solo it's not an impediment to have it set up one way or the other.?
Regarding keeping the A3-41 as a dedicated jointer and adding a planer, given my limited space I don't think I'd be able to squeeze in a planer, so I'll likely be locked in to jointer/planer combos for the foreseeable future. The A3-41 hasn't skipped a beat based on my current usage, but since I'll be setting up a 10hp phase converter in my Shop, I figured it might make sense to eventually bump up to a AD741/941/951 with a 3-ph 7.5hp package. This is all speculative, and won't happen for at least another 5-10 years, so at this time I'm just in information-gathering mode.....?
Best of luck on your machine purchase and shop planning, I'm excited to see what you come up with.?
