Re: Christmas in November
Hi John,?
Here are photos I had taken of the leaflet that was taped to my sliding table,? showing the two MDF strips that were preventing the cage from moving freely. Again, these were un addition to the short plastic stoppers that where wedged in to the very end. My shaper only had the plastic stoppers, my saw had both plastic stoppers and long MDF strips.
Hope is info is of any use.
Regards,? Cornelius.?

Re: Christmas in November
Thanks for the links to checklists, David.

Imran, I do not recall noise or clicks. The slider was hard to move.

Re: Anyone know the function of these screws on old Hammer A3 41?
Not entirely sure, but the first photo my guess is outfeed table height adjustment. Second photo is lock knobs for both infeed and outfeed tables.

Re: Christmas in November
Hi, in addition to the plastic stoppers, my machine had additional MDF strips wedged in between track and slider that prevented the table from sliding easily. Those strips were at least 1 meter long.? Only way to get them out was to push all the way to the end stop.
Good luck.

Re: Christmas in November
John,
You don’t have to do it but as David said the bearing is not centered as you stated the slider will not clear the blade opening. This is normal. It is a nerve wrecking experience to slam the slider to center the bearing.
However, I did not feel that bearing cage not being centered made it difficult to move the slider. Do you hear any noises when you do move it by 2 hands?

I did observe that the stop that limits the slider movement is placed incorrectly, so the slider will not clear the cover for the blade. That will be easy to fix.

Anyone know the function of these screws on old Hammer A3 41?
Hey guys, I just bought a 2004 Hammer A3 41 and wonder what the function of these knobs is? Does anyone know? Does anyone happen to have a manual for this old machine? It differs from the new models quite a bit.

Thanks in adavance

Re: Profil 45Z commission and setup
Weird, I don't have that knob/shaft attached to mine. I'll have to look at my loose parts that came with my machine to see if it's laying around.

Re: Christmas in November
Most likely then, the bearing cage needs to be centered. To do this, force the sliding table to the absolute extreme end of travel in both directions. ?That will center the bearing cage. ? David Best - via mobile phone?

I know I sent you my photos but that "Knob and shaft" are definitely attached to the motor mount to lock the tension.

Re: F700Z slider to cast-iron height difference
Hi, I do a fair amount of template copying and have never had an issue with using a pattern that bridges the cast and sliding table.
?
The angle induced is so small as to inconsequential .
When tenoning I use the tenon table and guard.
?
The tenon hood allows for larger cutters and the guard provides protection from the cutter when the tenon isn’t being cut.
?
Regards, Rod

Re: Christmas in November
Did you remove the plastic transporting locking dowels that are wedged in between the bearing ways of the lower carriage and the sliding table? ?? David Best - via mobile phone?

I did mount the slider onto the saw, so I could verify clearances. This slider is very hard to move. It takes two hands to move it. I hope that is a simple thing for the tech to fix.

Re: F700Z slider to cast-iron height difference
I guess I should also point out that for template pattern work, I use a spiral cutter that is only 100mm in diameter with an integral rub bearing. ? David Best - via mobile phone?

Thanks?again for your valuable feedback. David, there is one more question?relating to template routing - how do I fit this into the equation of having the slider 0.15mm higher than the cast iron? When you work using templates and remove the fence, do you simply cover the entire slider and cast iron with a material equivalent to the sled you described and cut out a hole the size of your cutterhead? It seems that I would need to be covering the beautiful cast iron table for a lot of my work - for template work and profiling wide boards on a sled. And the wide boards don't even need to be terribly wide since there is not much cast iron left before the slider interferes if I use a 180-200mm diameter cutterhead.

Re: Profil 45Z commission and setup
Netanel, I wired my power feed outlet on my go Gomad so it has its own push button to start on my panel so I can test it without the shaper running and when its feeding with the shaper of running and I have to kill the switch to stop it running with the shaper running it cuts out when I start the shaper back up. The power feed doesn’t start until I activate As for that power feeder, don’t have once I can’t tell you, but I can’t tell you that the roller should be precisely set parallel to the table xyz. The only time you don’t want them running parallel with the table is if you’re using one of the rollers to feed radius work. Mac,, Designing and building for 50 years

2)Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing, I am not referring to the picture you attached where you move the PF, but to move the base that is attached to the shaper.
I tired to change the part that is attached to the machine chassis without any success, but base is stuck. When do you place the PF when you try to swing it away?
?
3)I actually create a spacer from aluminum block like you did only to found out that Felder changed the design and now they use 3 holes an not one. now I need to order a new block from Mc-master :\
4)I'll contact Felder after I'll get some mileage

Re: Profil 45Z commission and setup
Nate,
Repeating what David said a little differently. Loosen the lock for swinging the PF between horizontal and vertical and lift up on black knob up front (pink arrow) and lock it in the desired position. I think 1-2 mm can be removed just by doing this.

i only have 3 lever there, one that control the tilt, but it has a fix indexing ping that prevent it from doing small increments.
the 2nd control the elevation and the third just lock the elevation.
