Re: Felder AD 531
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý
Hi Imran
? ? ? It is 230v single phase, I do not know how to tell if the electric brake is working.
If I disengage the infeed drive , the motor will work just sometimes, but if I remove the drive belt from the pulley the motor works every time

Keith,
Not sure what is happening but few pieces of info may help. Single phase or 3 phase? Is electric brake working, load or no load?

Re: power package for KF700
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI have no idea, I just know that the electronics can be a source of failure points. Witness all the failed brake boards lately¡ and blown capacitors. I don¡¯t find the hand cranking of the saw or shaper to be a big issue, it¡¯s not that many turns and for me the dial indicators in the hand wheels have been extremely reliable and accurate.The jointer/planer is where I see the value of the powered up and down, my shoulders and elbows scream in agony every time I have to change over.

Re: Leverlock tape measures
Fred, it's less about the blade stiffness and more about the locking mechanisms failing over time, especially the leverlock/autolock?styles. Brian and David B., thanks for the recommendations, I hadn't considered those options but will in the future.

Re: power package for KF700
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThe electronic controls and mechanical positioning systems for height and tilt are identical across all ¡°PowerDrive¡± equipped saws and shapers. ?J/P planer table elevation is a different beast. ?The saw/shaper PowerDrive systems have been in production over 15 years and have proven to be fairly reliable. ?I know of three failure reports of the electronic control board, including my own Profil 45, and all were corrected with a board replacement and phone support.PowerDrive is one of those things you can not add later, so think through how you intend to use the machine and your tolerance level for hand-cranked systems. ?The risks of electronic spares 20 years out has been discussed here many times, so search the archives if that¡¯s your brand of paranoia. ?Personally, I would prioritize shaper spindle height as top priority for PowerDrive, followed closely by saw arbor tilt, but those priorities have a lot to do with the type of projects I do. The accuracy issues that have been reported here on the Profil 45 are related to the xMotion version and stored tooling setup libraries. ?

Re: KF700 Cast Iron/Slider Flatness Check
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýWell, I always check each machine so I am aware of any flaws however minor. On my K975, first 6¡¯ of my slider (from infeed end) are perfect, elevation wise. The rest is fine too but I use that part for any burried xcuts. I did not document my previous checks well and now that I have time, FWIW, I wanted to have a record. I think my machine checks fine but as I suspected, based upon past observations, the slider did tilt outwards some, when I installed the xcut fence and then some more when I installed the small table I have, in lieu of outrigger.? At the cast iron side, slider rises 4mils with xcut fence and another 4 mils with table. It is good to know this. I am not going to make any adjustments (unless I get advice I cannot ignore) but being aware of this, I will make sure that the spindle is 90 deg to the material when doing critical cross profiling.

Re: power package for KF700
Acharya, I will have to agree with Imran, The power drive on the J/P is great, No fussing around when you do multiple passes as you know where you are at the last. as he said, If you on a budget I would make the shaper the most important tool to have it on, i have the Profil X motion and have not been able to find in accuracy in the settings but again I dont have the best tools to check and I do test cuts anyways and the power drive is great for quick adjustments. And again to Imran, I would try to get some info on the accuracy of maintaining settings, but who knows if you will get a real answer. I bought a bunch of Felder machines a couple years ago and I am completely happy. I have some minor issues that need to be dealt with and David Best has shared great videos to me to work on the issues, and I will when it gets warmer in the shop. I am not mechanical at all but I will try. I would say that the only thing I would think about in you purchase is to review all the upgrades that cannot be added later, and review that close. You really don't want to end up with a " I wish I, I should have" situation. It only hurts once and I can say that because it's your money. Glen Alpine Moulding and Millwork Inc. Mail: ?? P.O.

Re: KF700 Cast Iron/Slider Flatness Check
My only practical response to making up for inadequate?tools is how much does it cost to correct the deficit? In most wood stuff, if you can hit 0.1mm (0.004"), that's a sheet of printer paper, and a quick sanding cures it if it's even noticeable. Even being off 1mm is still 1/25" of an inch. I find the wood itself is always more problematic than the machines in its movement AFTER the cuts. If you can reference one side to be the "flush" faces of joints and the rest to compensate, it's the best way I've figured out to deal with excess tolerance in machines, my own deficient techniques, or the damned wood moving later. I know of shops that cut EVERY SIDE they mill a minimum of 1/8" oversize and rely on their sanders to take care of final dimensions at the end of the workflow. They can't be bothered by minutia, nor spell that word, lol, and their work looks stellar.

Re: Leverlock tape measures
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThe only one I¡¯ve found to lock solidly with many years of use has been a Starrett tape measure I have. All the others start slipping after a year or so.? One of the kids got it for me for Christmas many years ago, never used the digital function after the battery went dead, but it¡¯s been a great tape.
