Actually it is prepped for dado. Attached is the exact saw specs. The first one I sent was wrong version.

The saw/shaper is in a storage unit in Gypsum CO. I want 15k for it. It's not dado ready. 98" slider and single phase.

Hi, I have an older RL160 I bought from a forum member this past summer that is like new condition. Unfortunately I am running into issues with the RL160 shutting off after about five minutes of use generally any operation that takes more time than cuts on the slider. This RL is connected directly to my slider with <4' of flex and no sharp 90s and I would switch the hose to my joiner/planer where it would shutoff. Yesterday I was doing some drywall work which created some dust in my shop so ran the RL160 without it connected to anything to clear the air and after a few minutes the breaker on the machine tripped. After checking with the previous owner he had the same experience I did but Felder suggested it was his wide belt sander produce too much material and he didn't pursue warranty with them at the time. In all cases it is the machine side thermal breaker that trips.
I was hoping the forum members could suggest where to start diagnosing the problem or suggest parts I could replace.? Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks, Jay B.

Thanks Michael. Ordered the finish carpentry book from eBay. Didn¡¯t see the DVDs anywhere, other than ordering from eBay which would amount to well over 100$ by the time shipping and import tax is accounted for?

Re: Which wax paper to order?
Thanks guys, this is all great info.?
Mark, no rush from my end, but yes I'd be interested to hear which version of wax paper you're using.?
Brett, good feedback and much appreciated. I agree that in certain applications a sheet of 1/8" hardboard would absolutely be appropriate. Storing 4x8 sheets is a bit problematic in my small shop, but I can see a scenario where I'd cut up a sheet into three pieces, then tape the joints together so it's a folding assembly, might come in handy. I had a look at silicone mats and, like you suggested, they're not an inexpensive option. That being said, it may be a nice option to look at long term....
John, thanks for the thought on the Mylar.?
Rainger, thanks for the thought on the freezer paper. I had considered what I'd call "butcher paper", this sounds similar.?
Years ago a general contractor friend and I received a mis-order of a goofy size of Tyvek house wrap. Normal Tyvek rolls are 9' long, and I think these were 10'. We tried returning them to the lumber yard but they didn't have a record of them, so we ended up with thousands of dollars of goofy sized Tyvek rolls for free, and really enjoyed using them over the following years for a variety of purposes, everything from floor protection (underneath 1/8" hardboard) to table protection to transportation protection. I finally burned up the last roll this past summer, thus the hunt for a suitable replacement. I appreciate the feedback you guys have provided, it gives me some good ideas and guidance going forward.?

Well I had the distinct pleasure to visit Michael at his amazing shop West Oak Studios.? Had some great conversations with Michael and picked up a CHD from him. He has made some nice improvements to it via his CNC skills.?? It took all of 10 minutes to put it together and I hope to use it this weekend! PK PKwoodworking

Re: Which wax paper to order?
I've been very happy with the 48" roll of freezer paper from Uline, ( Freezer Paper Roll - 48" x 1,100' S-15678 - Uline ) it has a polyethylene coating on one side instead of wax. It's very non-stick and water/finish resistant, and no risk of contaminating any finish with wax. It's also more durable than wax paper, we often reuse it until it's too dirty and then use it on the floor under glue-ups/finishing.

Whelp, at work I bought some of the McMaster wax paper for 3d prints that we dipped in a tub of Cyanoacrylate to seal them, we would dip them then rest them on ply plates with screws on top of the paper to keep it from dripping on everything.?
Not sure which version I bought but can check when I am back at work next week, so doesn¡¯t help you now but can tell you that it would be more than adequate for your use. I wouldn¡¯t buy anything from uline¡
I have been using builders paper mostly because I got it at the thrift store for a $1, it¡¯s cheap and works good enough for the glue drips

I use Mylar drafting film. It is durable, waterproof, and lays flat on a bench or table.
I¡¯ve no idea where to get it or what it costs, as after decades as an engineer I have a lot of leftover material.?
It is available in big rolls for plotters.

Thanks for the advice. Tilting the saw arbor to 45 degrees improved access. Then I ran the belt over the scoring pully then the spring tensioned pulley below it, then back to the saw arbor & pulley. Still not enough slack, so while I reached thru the saw arbor space and pulled up on the tensioning pulley, my wife reached around the rear of the saw unit and slipped the belt over that pulley. Easy as pie. all I needed was that third hand!
Thanks everyone!
