Re: Kundig Uniq
I saw this earlier today on FB.
?
Not to be that guy, but having owned both the Kundig UNIQ and the Hammer HS950 they are light years apart.
?
The Kundig new these days is $25k plus options.? So if the machine is in good working order it is a steal.
?
The Hammer HS950 is a great unit and a bargain but it is not a Kundig Uniq.? The Kundig weighs in at 1300 pounds, I believe, and the fit/finish and quality are top notch - as in Martin like.? The belt will oscillate almost 4" and the accessories are well thought out.? Plus the dust collection for me is really good compared to all other machines I have seen/used.? The Rehnen SK-1, SK-2, SK-3 have really great dust collection also, but no bed tilt is possible on those machines.
?
Is the Kundig Uniq worth $25k plus accessories and shipping/tax for a hobbiest shop?? Probably not, but used at a great price, it will give you many years of pleasurable use.? The same argument can be made about any of the machines we own.? Is a kappa 450 x-motion worth 3x the price of a K700?? I think so, but many will not.
?
Also, the resale on a Kundig is usually pretty strong.

Re: Groover / Dado advice
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Kamal,8¡± will work on saw and shaper. If you have a need for deeper than 3¡± depth of groove on shaper then you need 10¡± or 12¡± dado and both require tenoning hood. I plan to make my own tenoning hood out of plywood, which most likes not meet any safety standards I recently bought Ridge Carbide 8¡± box joint dado which does 3/16 to 7/16 dados and depth of cut is just under 3¡±. The 220mm Felder rebate heads I have, are also about 3¡±. I cannot get a narrow groove though as they are 31mm tall. Just thought I mention it. I wish someone made a 9¡± dado so we could take full advantage of 700 series shaper hood. Imran Malik IAM Wood Creations On Dec 26, 2024, at 10:41?AM, KRPatel via groups.io <kamalsonal@...> wrote:

Imran and Rich, good point on the 6" set as I do want flexibility to cut greater depth of cuts.

Re: 160 mm dust collection ducting in the USA
Michael, You are correct.? Like PVT there are always other factors, sometimes known and sometimes unknown and even unknown unknown. That's why the curve is king.? I size fan systems for lumber dry kilns.? Fans and drives are sized based on the math and experience and we always round up or "oversize".? We normally use VFD's in lieu of across the line starters (both are similar cost) so speeds can be reduced when tuning the system on start-up.? This saves power operating cost, overdried pockets AND keeps us out of trouble with the customers.? Math is important but experience avoids problems and produces the most cost effective solution.?
?
Betty Crocker used to add a note to the baking instructions for high elevations.? We live at 4000' where water boils at 204f so mostly ignore this factor.? I do take 1 club less on the golf course though. |

Re: Aigner shaper accessories on Felder Combos
Like JoelGelman's T27, my TF-130 has two sets of pin locations for the hood.
?
The primary pin locations are optimized for using shaper tooling and the fence plates won't retract any further than the face of the spindle shaft.?
?
The secondary pin locations are located in such a manner that the fence plates can be positioned several inches behind the center line of the spindle, allowing through-milling such as dovetails:?
?
As Joel and others have suggested, your best option would be to drill two new/additional holes to index your hood assembly in a second location.?

Re: Aigner shaper accessories on Felder Combos
The Martin T-27 has 2 sets of holes allowing the Aigner to be secured in a front or back position (125mm back). ?The touch screen allows you to select the position and the settings are adjusted accordingly. ?When used as a router table, all features of the Aigner fence are available. ?In contrast, the Martin T-12 has a post that projects upward behind the fence as that goes to the touchscreen, and that prevents the fence from moving back far enough to use the Aigner with the integral fence. ?The older literature touts the ability to use router bits, but the picture shows the fence without the integral fence jaws attached (see attached). ?When you add the thickness of the integral fence, the fence is too far forward.
?
I mention this not to suggest one needs a T-27. ?I am suggesting that if a shaper has a fence assembly that can be pushed back and secured in that position (tap 2 holes), that may be a nice way to take advantage of the integral fence features while having the shaper double as a router table. If the shaper has a fence position reading where it "thinks" it is in the forward position when it is not, perhaps by knowing the amount of setback, you just adjust by that amount each time you are in the back position.
?
Just something that comes to mind

Re: 160 mm dust collection ducting in the USA
On Sun, Dec 22, 2024 at 07:47 AM, Jonathan Smith wrote:
Flow x pressure = horsepower The formula oversimplifies reality, as horsepower is directed through impeller designs with different efficiencies.? And even for a given impeller design, the efficiency of pushing air is affected by atmospheric pressure.? Or to put it another way, you need a constant factor added into the equation that accounts for impeller design and atmospheric pressure.? A few hundred feet of elevation one way or the other doesn't make enough of a difference to worry about.? But here in Lake Tahoe, the ~1950m elevation makes a material difference.
?
Any dust collector manufacturer worth dealing with will publish a fan-curve chart for the collector's performance at the inlet, which will allow one to avoid the need for test equipment to measure the static pressure of the collector, but those fan curve charts will be calculated for something close to sea level.? Better manufacturers will be able to supply a fan curve chart adjusted for a specific altitude.? For example, here's what Al-Ko has provided me for an 160P, with the sea-level and 2000m curves showing the drop in performance at my altitude:
?
?
Not every vendor will offer that personal service, so the alternative is finding a reference for a static pressure adjustment factor for a given altitude.? Al-Ko's standard fan-curve is calculated at 400m altitude, while their adjusted chart shows a drop of about 500 Pa at my altitude.? Using the reference book adjustment factor of 1.27 increase in static pressure for my elevation, and you get a result that pretty closely matches their adjusted chart.? With either approach, it's then reasonable to use something like Bill Pentz's spreadsheet to estimate ductwork static pressure, and have a good chance of designing a dust collection system that will function as expected once purchased and installed.? I'm a one man operation, so the simplicity of planning for a single tool at a time works for me.? Bill's spreadsheet won't work for anyone designing a multi-tool collection system, as he acknowledges.? Even his advice for calculating dust collection for a single tool with multiple dust ports is a bit questionable.? Were I looking at a multi-tool collection system, I'd just bite the bullet and pay a professional to do the more complex math needed. |

Re: K 740 s sliding table start/stop button not operated
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Gurer, If the saw runs from the switch on the chassis then the cable connection must have been made. If it does not run at all then look for a cable under the slider and a mating one in the chassis. These need to be connected. Even if the cable is connected and the saw does not run or runs intermittently it could be that the ways in the slider need cleaning. Common occurrence on new saws. Look for 2 wires, one on each side, that come out of a hole underneath the slider and connect to the ways with a ring terminal. These are from the slider switches. Electrical signal is transferred from the slider to the extrusion below via the ways and bearings. I have only seen this once so going from memory but at least should be good enough to get the idea across. Just clean the ways with a dry lubricant like LPS1 or similar. Hopefully, this will get you going. If not, I can try helping over a whattsapp call. Have done it a few times for owners overseas.

Re: Aigner shaper accessories on Felder Combos
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýOne member trimmed the front end of the micro adjust block so the fence moves further back. ?That or drilling and tapping a new set of holes. At least locating the holes should be easy as there are 2 sets, so just drill in line. I recently drilled and tapped for bowmouldmaster and it really was pretty easy. The main hurdle was to find a good spot on the casting for the holes, especially avoiding the webs underneath.
