Re: Saw table infill

 

Hi Paul,

My pet hate too!? The gap in between the tables, always seems you want to mount the fence right in it!
They used to make a fence extension that could be used here it was part no EZ A(14/14)? I tried to get one years ago but Felder told me they didn't have any and weren't re-stocking!

It features in the1997/8 accessories brochure.

Regards,? Martin.

Martin,?

I had forgotten about the old cast iron clamp on extension,?
I'm pretty sure that the cast extension in the drawing bolted to the planner table on the 6-41, and was only available in the F coupling.
Could you send the whole parts drawing? so I can figure it out.

Thanks

The S Coupling has always been a bit of a challenge to set up and maintain,?
I have looked at bolting F rails onto the dovetail to convert the whole machine up to the F Coupling but you end up with a bit of a dog breakfast and not a lot of material to engage the top levelling screw into.
I never fancied? taking the tables off the chassis to machine off the dovetail and fit the F rails, and then re-fit the tables which is the other option.

The edge web of the saw table is only 8mm thick so I'm not confident about cantilevering 6" extension table off that edge.
I'm going to use the infill plate slot and a steel strip to level the top surface so alignment should not be an issue.

In steel the table is 16lbs after a diet and then there is the weigh that could end up on top of it.
Aluminium would be about 4lbs as I would have to thicken some bits, but then there is the hassle of getting it hard anodized.

Re: zci for k940

Jason, missed the LED light question.

Is an option on the k940 and up, indicates that the scoring is on and up. I really like it, because use aolid wood for the most part i use the scoring either infrequently or multiple times a week depending and can forget (even within a few hours that I left it on, now you could argue that since I have auto scoring whats the need, it drops when the saw is off well if you don’t turn off the switch and don’t use the shop for a few days it’s pretty easy to forget its on. It’s pretty inexpensive i think i paid $300 and I grow money on trees 2 months out of the year so... when I had my business my slider only ever saw sheet goods so you new the scoring was up. I still think it’s a wise investment for $300, for sure in a hobby shop and even a commercial shop?

Jason,

Curious if your KF has scoring. I bought ZCI from John R for my KF sans scoring and never installed it.

K975 is a diff story. I don’t care much if the off cuts go down in DC. However, more often than not it is a violent event scoring running or not. Sometimes the piece gets wedged and dances on the turning scoring blade. I am afraid something will get damaged.

Re: Learned a important lesson today...

 

Annu,

I don't know what a c31 is but you might try straightening it.? Some materials like hot rolled steel keep a memory of their original shape.? Heat, quench and some persuasion can relieve the stress from the new twist and return to its original shape.? A mapp gas torch might be enough or a friend with an oxy-acetylene rig. You would not be out much but time if it doesn't work.?

Re: zci for k940

 
Edited

I am also interested to know more about the reason for a ZCI. I have small off cuts sucked inside the saw chassis or the scoring blade is throwing the small off cuts toward the main blade or downward and then to the wall behind the saw, but never thought it was an actual issue. The only issue I have encountered is when I want a really thin rip like 1/8 or less. This type of thin off cuts are just sucked inside the saw chassis. My workaround so far is to rip a piece long enough so that I can manually grab the off cut pass the blade guard if I am pulling the outrigger to make the cut. This way the off cut cannot be sucked in and I still get a descent length of off cuts not damaged by the blade after I grab it.

JP,?
Not sure if the same design would fit, would have to confirm when you get it.

Anthony, I started it in Siemens NX but the version I am using is customized for mold making and I don’t use it every day so it became to time consuming. I now use Shaper3d with iPad and pencil, totally awesome and fast the drawback is that you can’t get the 2d dims drawings without a bit of extra work, you have to either create a plane and project the edges or export to a 3rd party program. They are adding the feature though in the next few weeks. For this design I don’t need to create 2d drawings as I will just export an X_T file for the cnc.?

Jason, mostly for kickback of small cutoffs and strips plugging up the hose. i too have never liked them for the same reason you mention but came to find out that on the k940 that you don’t need to remove it to tilt the blade at least with a 300mm blade, now not sure how great it will be with the 90 slot and 45deg slot at the same time not to mention different angles, we will see i can imagine changing it out more often with a new one because of that. Juat this morning I had an idea for a quick change insert, i mean 4 short bolts don’t take that long but what is you needed no tools?

One of the issues with not having the ZCI is sometimes I have to slice off the ends of solid boards and that small off cut can wedge between the blade and the deflect it into the sliding table.? With a ZCI, that problem is eliminated since the off cut will just sit on the insert and not go anywhere. I'm really hoping someone can 3D print something for the K975 and make it available for purchase.. I'm willing to buy several if they ever got made

Second is the 6 inch gap between the saw table and the planner table that prevents the rip fence traversing smoothly across the full range of the dovetail.

I'm not talking about trying to replace the entire metal plate just a section at the saw end.
Obviously some clearance between the extension and the planner table but no more than 5-6mm.

Has anyone installed an infill or extension piece between the saw table and the planner table on a BF6 Combination machine, either S Coupling or F Coupling and how did you go about mounting it,
bolted to the edge of the saw table or mounted on studs to the machine chassis?

Any thought or engineering opinion on which is the best approach?

Blade alignment has a lot to do with saws spitting dust forward to the operator.? It generally means the back of the blade is upcutting which should not happen.? My Bosch did not spit forward.

I also found with my Bosch- 20 years old as well-? that clamping a 4' level to the fence helped me when ripping.? Additional fence, particularly in front of the blade helped to compensate for the small table and my tendency to cant long stock.? Dave

I built two houses with a Bosch 4100 from about 2003. At the time it was the best of the normal brands – the fence was awesome. This was pre-riving knife, so not as up-to-date with safety features. I am sure the new one is better.

A couple notes later on – I gave the saw to my dad who has used it sparingly. In his time, he has had the far motor bearing seize twice, requiring replacement. The good news is parts are still available. The bad news is why did this happen? And more than once?

?

One general comment – any table saw without good dust collection throws a huge amount of crap in your face. When I upgraded to my first cabinet saw (Sawstop ICS), I was blown away at the usability difference, because – especially after getting the blade guard with dust connector – I could use the saw without gagging and gasping. That was far and away the best part of upgrading for me. I could have done more with dust collection on the cabinet saw, and in hindsight I wish I did.

Thanks Michael, putting down another vote for the Bosch! ?
