I believe the price was $265, minus the 10% VIP discount, plus shipping, so it would indeed be nice if they could come up with some more.

? Hello Jay,
Just couple of days ago I saw an add (I think it was facebook) of a outfit that claimed to supply spindles. I did a quick search on iphone right now but nothing came up. In case you cannot find a used spindle, it may be possible to have one made.
Oh! to answer your other question, yes you need a shaper spindle to use shaper cutters. Not only that the high speed spindle takes router bits in its collet (shaper cutters have bores) it also spins at a much higher RPM. Here is a catalog pic of high speed router spindle and shaper spindle. AFAIK, all current Felder shapers also use a different belt for high speed spindle.
My 2002 KF xcut fence has AL blocks that have the kip lever and these slide in the back slot of the xcut fence. Is this what you are missing??Here is a catalog picture of these blocks:
The right block (in above pic) is attached to a fixed slider nut (more like a short bar) allowing it to work as the pivot point, whereas the left one has a floating nut to allow fence positioning at an angle. Not sure if you are just missing these nuts.?
Hope this helps.

?Hello.
I have recently come in possession of a -99 mod. Felder KF-7 Compact saw (Combo saw-shaper) and I'm trying to get it to work as a replacement for my older tablesaw. The machine came from an institution that closed down. It was put in storage and thus some of the accessories for it was missing when I bought it at an auction. I have contacted my local dealership for replacement parts but not surprising there is not much to be had. I have tried looking for listings locally (i live in Norway) and abroad, but have not had much luck in finding the parts or information I'm seeking.
Now that the origin story is out of the way, here is my first question I hope maybe some of the wizards in here might help me with:
The machine came mounted with what I have gathered, is a high speed spindle. There was a regular 45 degree bit mounted in it. I was hoping to use the shaper on the machine as intended but from what I have found I need to change the whole spindle to be able to use the larger shapertools. Is this the case or do I simply need to change the top part of the spindle?
As mentioned Felder has said that the spindles for this model is not available any more. Is there a marked for buying these things used? If so, where?
The saw is also missing the mounting kit for the crosscut fence and again according to Felder, the kits available today is not compatible with my saw. This is also something I'm looking for in the used marketplace.
I hope this novel does not get me banned from this place at once and that you might enlighten me in the sliding ways:)

Re: ProLock spindle locking mech
Thanks Albert. Hard to see but appears that instead of the threaded hole on top of Felder spindle this SCM spindle with pneumatic lock has a large bore.
Wow those temps are awesome. Australia and New Zealand are on our bucket list. As soon as wife retires because I want to spend at least 1 month.

This is how the pneumatic locking/unlocking is done on my SCM?
It never gets too cold over here, daytime temp never dips below 5 deg Celcius/40 deg Fahrenheit, and rarely goes beyond 30 deg C/85 deg F, annual average is 20 deg C/70 deg F

Re: ProLock spindle locking mech
Thanks ¨C interesting it would fit but I guess since the bolt goes in the center of the shaft it may not matter.?? I will check with felder today ¨C I also just spoke to the folks at procap and they had received my email just had not gotten to investigate.?? He remembered Joe and will take a look for the version with the thicker cap Joe had mentioned.?? Once I hear back from both Felder and Procap I will shoot a note out and it if it looks better to order from Germany we can make a group order if folks want - ?

Re: ProLock spindle locking mech
Thanks Albert. I wanted to know if that cap works with standard arbor or does it require a special feature?
That is such a sweet machine. Would love to hear your opinion of it once you get some hours in it.
You have so much equipment compared to space it is impressive. How cold does it get in winter since you may have to open the doors to use the machines? Sadly that is not an option for me ?

Saw this add on FB Marketplace for a3-31. I'm not associated with the seller.

Looks like it needs some work but a solid price.
