Looks Awesome. What is the white blob looking thing at the end of LED strip?
So looks like you are recreating what felder supplies. Is this 1st step to make ZCI?
I need one terribly for K975. I bought 2 for KF700 and never installed them. It was not bad because I do not have scoring. I think scoring just exacerbates the situation and cutoffs are violent. IMHO, OEM should consider ZCI implementation when designing the saw.

All you need is a lip to screw the custom bracket. I can lift my beast Vario4 with 2 fingers. Some felder combos don’t have the 1.75” space required, so not sure if hammer has the room. All parts run about $60 for the setup.

So I decided I needed a zci for the new k940, thought I would get away without one but here I am... I reached out to David Best as I knew he had made one for the kappa. The k940 saw unit, top casting and 3 plastic segments appear to be the same however I have the LED lights so wasn’t sure if David would be willing to modify his design and if it would be worth the time/cost to do so. After a few back and forth emails David decided to not take it on, a few key dimensions were slightly different and could require a few iterations to get it right which I agreed.?
David was so kind in allowing me to use his drawings, however after I started to model it and compared it to my parts in hand it wasn’t adding up so I had to abandon the drawings given and just start from scratch from my actual parts.
So the first task was to model the LED section first as it is the most difficult to work out, then 3d print, check fit and make adjustments (done) After that 3d print all the parts to confirm (tomorrow) and finally have machined in aluminum (tbd)
The other unknown was how was the LED installed, the only way to find out was to remove it which would obviously void the warranty but after studying the elect schematic and looking at the parts drawings I convinced myself that it was no big deal and easy to fix if I screwed up the LED strip.?
So here are some progress pics... note, the 3d printed LED section is short due the the 3D printer bed not being long enough, a bolt hole is missing so it is not tight against the cast...

You can do the same thing with a VFD and some simple programming.
?
You need to make sure the motor is 3 phase and VFD rated
Need to know the max RPM rating of the fan
Know the FLA rating of the motor
?
Program the VFD to automatically increase the RPM until you hit a current limit, I’d suggest something like 10% below FLA.? Also set a top RPM limit
below the fan rating.? You may find the fan make too much noise at top speed so lower the upper limit.
?
Fans pull max current when moving max air.? If the line has a small port it’s not moving much air so the current is low.? The VFD will automatically
speed the motor up creating more suction pressure automatically

Does anyone have a copy of the drawing of the top
mounting plate for the almost mythical turntable for the
BF6.
I remember mounting a 6-41 M on one for an exhibition in
1994 while working for the guys that were the uk sales
agent back then but cant figure out the centre point of
rotation for my machine as its not as straight forward as
one might expect. Because we got it wrong at the 1st
attempt.
I've located a potential bearing that is the right size
and load capacity. But need the top plate layout, because
the layout is to close to guess.
Catalog picture without the machine would do at a pinch.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Power feeder mount Hammer C3-31
Thank you. I had wanted a four wheel feeder which would be heavier. ?But maybe don’t need it. ?I will look at the parts numbers you provided?

? Marshall, Trevor, Roger, ? I am sure you guys know of the home made gas strut option – big lift. I am not aware of any hammer user who has installed the big lift but if the tilt bracket is similar to felder then it should work. It does require least 1.75” gap between feeder bracket and J/P wall on combination machines. Big lift requires a custom bracket which is not too difficult to make. It can be made out of AL but steel is better and can be thinner. Design for both versions are attached. Short video shows how it works. ? Looks like Felder tilt bracket with gas assist is for felder machines only but perhaps it can be adapted. I know someone was able to purchase just the gas assist parts from felder. ?

? Hi Marshall,
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? I have a C3-31 with a S308 power feed (part no 05.3.011) it mounts on a tilting bracket (part no 503-127) the feeder works both on a flat and horizontal axis.
It is really very heavy. The bracket mounting is different than used on the saw range (no photograph in the old catalogue) and at first appears that ?the single bolt securing mechanism is too light for the mass of the feeder.
There is a learning curve.
1. keep your legs and feet out of the way ?when lowering and raising.
2. Wind the motor as far forward as possible before you tilt it. The pivot arc is then controllable as it lowers.
3. Loosen all the adjusting levers just as you lower it onto the saw bench and it will level and square itself properly, then tighten everything up and you are good to go.
4. Toe the front in very slightly for best running results especially with the shaper.
5. Do a few dry runs with whatever option of the machine you want to use. Then you are ready to go.
6. Approximately ?6 inches is the widest board that you can rip when the feeder is mounted.
It is invaluable with the shaper and works well with both jointer and saw. It cost 1k Euros in 2018.
I was very sceptical at first due to the weight ?and found it very hard to set up, now I wouldn't be without it, and always look for ways to use it, as even ripping rough stock it is less tiring, safer, and you get a more consistent finish?
