Re: Thin, precise boards
David,
?
Thanks so much for your reply & for the useful & interesting info.? I have just now placed the double-sided tape into my Amazon basket.
?
WRT the NorthState WBS - the manual that you sent is way superior to the one that I received with my sander - the one I got appeared to be a poor photocopy of a draft of the real thing.? Besides the explosion drawings (not included in my manual), this new (to me) manual has a paragraph & picture describing the procedure to level the bed; mine has been slightly askew since I got it (2008), and I have attempted numerous times to figure out to how correct it with no success. Now I have a place to start!
?
At this point I am going to attempt to use the WBS to fine tune the thickness of my thin workpieces - the 3 options that you listed make sense, except the first one (pulling up on the piece as it exits the back) probably will not work on such a short workpiece...
I have experimented a little with the platen, but never fully understood its function. Your suggestion makes total sense and I will attempt to do that first. If that does not work, then I will attempt to adjust the input feed rollers, as you described & as (I think) I understand from the exploded view.
?
WRT the planer - I am disappointed that an adjustment of the feed rollers requires a Felder technician. I know now how difficult (& ridiculously expensive) it is to get a Felder technician to my shop in rural SW Colorado....
Your reference to rubber rollers (vs the standard steel knife-edged rollers) is very interesting to me. As I mentioned, I do a lot of work with small, very precise parts. My planer works great for many things, but it has always irked me that you need to remove a minimum amount (at least .02" IME) on each pass, otherwise those steel rollers will leave ugly tracks on the workpiece. What is involved in replacing the rollers?
?
Again, thanks for the response & all the great advice & info.
?
Best regards,

Re: RL160 chip bag
开云体育Stan,I saved this from FOG. Unfortunately, I lost heading and I was only i in RL125. I believe this note was for RL160. Hopefully the text below will help search for the original post. “I also found bags for the bins that fit perfectly from McMaster Carr. Compactor Liners, 10 cu ft, Part #4203T5. 50 bags for $62.? I do believe these bags also fit the RL125 and 200 as well.” Imran Malik On Jul 21, 2024, at 11:18?AM, Stan Blaszczyk via groups.io <blaszcsj@...> wrote:

Re: Table extensions on AD 741. A warning
开云体育Hi Brian,Picture matches his description but he also said that he is getting a deeper cut on operator side vs the fence side. Therefore, it is useful to know if the outfeed is co-planer front to back (as opposed to in the direction of travel, which it is not).

? If you have adjusted the height of the outfeed table with respect to the cutterhead, then you want to make sure that you arrive at your height by raising the table using the lever on the outfeed side, not going lower to match the cutting circle. Imran, if you looked at his pictures, you can see that a level place on the infeed table has a gap on the outfeed table, clearly showing that his tables are not coplanar. How or why they moved, I can't say, but they shouldn't if properly tightened. Brian Lamb blamb11@... lambtoolworks.com

I’m not sure what you mean by “moving the out feed vertically” ?

Re: Table extensions on AD 741. A warning
Hi Peter,
?
I use both, cast iron and AL ext tables, on the infeed and outfeed of Dual51. It is hard for me to believe that they can move the tables on a well adjusted machine. Tables, when locked, do not budge other than a few thousands that you can only see on a needle gauge.
?
For grins have you tried another piece of wood that is relatively flat and void of knots?
?
You described the 0.8mm dip on the far end of the outfeed but did not say if the outfeed is coplaner with the infeed from front operator end) to back (fence) at the cutterhead. Can you share this detail?
?
The only thing I can suggest, assuming your outfeed was set perfectly, is to place your straight edge as you described where you can see the 0.8mm dip on the end of the outfeed. Now gently try to lift the outfeed (in-line with the weight of the ext table, I know not easy but giving an idea) and see if you can reduce or eliminate the 0.8 mm gap. If so then you need an adjustment.

For the first time I decided to use the cast Iron table extension that is usually attached to my shaper spindle moulder to my planer jointer out feed. ?I was planing some 10’ x 10” x 1 1/4 and thought I might benefit from extending the surface to help achieve a flatter, truer board. ?I set the extension up to be perfectly level with the out feed table.?
so far so good and the added surface helped support at the end of the cut. I think I probably always use the end of the outfeed table to pivot longer boards or use it as a point to rotate the board onto its side ready to carry it back for another pass. ?I didn’t deliberately do this on the extension- more so that I didn’t lever it out of level relative to the out feed surface. ?
Next day surface planing up some smaller boards I noticed something was amiss. ?First thing was the stock hitting the out feed just after the cutter on fence side. ?I could pass a board over cutter at the front of the machine but it was taking more from one side than other. ?I presume the out feed has moved and I would imagine this is due to the extra leverage of the extension.? The table sits comfortably on the cathedral bolts at the front and they aren’t loose ( as in neither have loosened or undone). ? The out feed tips away from the cutter head by 0.80 mm with the in feed and out feed tables married up at the cutter head. ?
Fistly, am I missing something obvious? ?I am really hoping not to have to ?recalibrate the tables. ?I don’t have any of the specialist dials / gauges etc. A while ago I tried to set up a Hammer planer / Thicknesser that a colleague had attempted to adjust. After many hours I failed and had to call in Felder Techs - ???????$$$$$. ?
Any input welcomed.?

Re: Phase Perfect Simple
开云体育Hi Taylor,PP does not have a high leg as one would have in a RPC.? If you get that specific code in Felder, the brake board can be calibrated to eliminate the code. This assumes that the brake board is good and the tooling is in line with what the saw is designed for. I am not sure what options Martin saw’s brake board provides. Imran Malik On Jul 20, 2024, at 1:36?PM, taylor donsker via groups.io <tdonsker@...> wrote:
? [Edited Message Follows] Interesting regarding the brake. My martin tablesaw has been having brake errors lately. It will often trip the breaker inside the saw’s electrical cabinet with an error message about it taking too long to brake or something. It stops very fast and I do not know what the exact issue is. The tech at martin said to switch the legs around so the high voltage leg is on a specific terminal but it did not seem to help any of the three times I did it. I have resorted to shutting off the phase perfect to turn off the saw and let it simply coast down on its own since it has an overhead guard above it almost always.?
fyi I have a pt020 that is only a couple years old.?

Re: Thin, precise boards
By coincidence, just yesterday I was able to thickness plane ash to .3" without a carrier board but less than that the machine want to turn the stock sideways and chew it up. With a carrier and thin double stick tape I easily hit my target .190". This with a 1999 Hammer C3-31, nothing special but the cutters are wicked sharp. Images below are the ash, and a slice of afromosia that is .120".? Easy.
