Yes you should ?. Just kidding Bryce. I believe most who have participated in this thread have Felder tilt bracket. At least I did not read otherwise. I shared my experience to add information. Is it possible that the Felder solution is not as powerful? I can say that the ¡°Big Lift¡± which was shared here and I have built it for myself and few others definitely reduces the effort in both directions. I believe, I have the heaviest PF Felder makes and it is not an issue to lift it. I am 64, 5¡¯ 8¡± and 160#.

I really should read these posts more carefully. I didn't realize it was a homemade job on the gas strut.

Tim Ruth,
I didn¡¯t anticipate the woodchuck (as I remember them as) Bees ? eating the lumber outside but covered on racks, I was more concerned about termites and vermin. Those bees are scary looking but not aggressive. Their tunnels were very smooth and well crafted, perhaps they should be called woodworker bees?

Bryce,

For this reason, I asked Laurie about speeding up or brake disengaging. He confirmed that it actually speeds up. So my first shot in the dark is that K1 contacts are sticking.

Ok, so here is a pic of the brake board. It should allow some adjustment, see picture, should be P1-Time to stop ?P2-Torque to stop faster. It is a fine balance, the board can wear out over time making full adjustment range not possible. Fine adjustments suggested!!
Hope this helps.

Bryce

Re: Shop videos

 

Bob,
?
I use Four cameras:
?
  1. Sony Alpha 6100 - was the main, now shared with the next camera (with a Rode wireless lavalier system)
  2. DJI Osmo Pocket 3
  3. Apple iPhone 16 pro max
  4. GoPro Hero 11 - no longer used as I cannot correct the banding in the video with my new lights in the new shop (yes I have tried the built in correction with the GoPro and I have also tried to do it in post with DaVinci but it is just to much of a hassle)
?
I self shoot and have two tripods.? I like the Osmo pocket 3 but the Sony has slightly better video and the wireless mic system I have works better than the Osmo.? The Osmo is easy though.

Bryce,

My experience with homemade gas strut is similar. I have vario4 which is pretty heavy. I don¡¯t have video of lifting but I can start the lift with one finger.

I do have a video of taking it down as it can be seen there is not much load on the user.

Reading through the comments on this thread, its really interesting to hear that some people are still finding lifting the feeder a bit of a chore even with the gas strut assisted bracket. I just got one when i bought my new machine, and find it an absolute game changer! I had the regular tilt away bracket on my old machine with the F38 feeder, and that really was a chore to lift. Admittedly i have the Comatic DC40 on the new machine so a lighter unit for sure, & mounted on the tilt away bracket with the gas strut, but oh my what a difference! I can lift it up with one hand and very little effort at all. I always put the feeder into a certain position before tilting it away, so wonder if that has something to do with how easy it is?

Maybe slightly off topic, but wondering if the members would be willing to share what gear they use to shoot shop videos? Especially if you self-shoot without an assistant. Are you using a phone? Dedicated camera and tripod? Something like an Osmo 3?

Re: Adding smart stand with DC70 to tilt bracket

 

Hi Bryce,
?
The Felder F48 feeder is a beast in terms of mass. ?Plus it has the old style collar and dual knuckle that is used to rotate it from horizontal to vertical work. ?if it was relegated to being used solely in one position, on a machine that didn't require tilting it out of the way, it would be awesome.
?
I used it with the gas assisted tilting mount for three years and came to dread moving it into and out of position. ?I have the smart stand and a DC70 on my F700z shaper. ?that worked out great. ?so I took the opportunity to duplicate that setup on my KF700. ?Now that I have it installed and learned how to raise and lower it, I've fount it easier to get it up and down largely because there iis much less weight hanging on the end of the arm. ? One still needs to be careful, but it is definitely an improvement.
?
I still think it can be improved further, possibly with a second assist cylinder. ?When I go down that rabbit hole, I will bring the subject forward again.
?
Thanks for your comments.

Re: CF531 delayed stop

 

Sounds like the brake board might need some adjustment. I will look for some documentation and get back to you. There are two pots to adjust, and it only takes the slightest tweek to make a difference.

Re: Adding smart stand with DC70 to tilt bracket

 

As you get older flipping the feeder up is more of a chore.
?
I use a nylon strap around the feeder and a small chain hoist to raise or lower it, no risk of an injury to myself or the feeder.
