Re: [ Re: Someone please educate me. ]

If I am preparing to run a bunch of rough sawn lumber through the jointer, I
will likely use the power feeder for speed, consistency, and safety. Jointing
is the first operation I apply to rough sawn lumber to get one good and flat
surface which can then run through the planer to create a parallel opposing
side and thicknessed to dimension in the planer as well. For surface planing
that could be done either with the jointer or planer I often use the jointer
because I feel that I have more control with the depth of cut on the jointer
than I do with the planer. This is mainly due to the planer's rollers
requiring a certain about of cut depth before they will grab the material.

The reality is that I try to use the power feeder with the jointer anytime I
am running a substantial amount of material or even when I am running fewer
pieces that require multiple passes to get a good flat suface. However, the
power feeder can compromise a jointing operation if the pressure applied by
the feeder rollers force a twist or bow out of the material while running past
the cutterhead thereby defeating your purpose. This phenomenon doesen't exist
when surface planing with the jointer.

twist. If that is the case then why not just run it through the
planer?

This week I had a slight taper problem. What I found when I put
the

thousands
lower in the front. The solution I found was in not trying to
readjust the
table but to check the torque applied on the locking cam. Like
anything with
a lot of use the cam can wear and applying too much locking torque
will
cause the leading edge of the table to deflect downward. It's not
much, just
a few thousands, but enough to affect the quality of the cut. I
cleaned off
the cam, lower the table again and just tightened slightly. Result
was the
table was level to within .0015" over the length of the cutterhead.
Once the
table was level I just reset the height for optimum cutting. Cuts
like it
did when John H first set it up two years ago. A couple of people
had some
trouble with the table adjustment and I was wondering if it was
because of
different tightening torque's being applied.
Apparently the locking design has been changed on the new series

...good point! Generally, when I'm using the jointer, I'm taking multiple passes on
the ends of a board to start to straighten it out before taking long passes. I could
see where hanging the feeder on the outboard side of the jointer to pull the work
through could produce a prettier and flatter surfacethan hand feeding, since you're
ultimately using the outfeed table as the reference for straightness/flatness, but I've
never done it!! -Philip

One more point on filling out your membership profile: So that our group
members may see selected portions of your profile (the sections you choose
to make visible), you also need to do the following:

Visit the main group web page:


1) Click the "subscribe" link on the left column.

2) Make sure the 4th box down is checked. The one which says "Display
my profile to members of this group ". You can also select your email

Membership Profile Drive!

Geoff Shepherd
 

Hi, all! It's Round Two of the Membership Profile Drive!

To make our membership directory more useful for all of us, it would help if
everyone took a moment to fill out their member profiles on the web site.
You can do this using the following link:



If you haven't visited the web site before, you'll need to sign in and
choose a password for yourself. It's surprisingly easy and secure.

As you fill out your profile, check the box that allows other group members
to see your profile. Our group is private, so what you enter is only visible
to other members of our group. In addition, eGroups has a policy of not
using your information without your permission.

At a minimum, it would be good to have your name and location (i.e.
city/state) filled in. You can provide more than that if you want.

In addition, we've made a few changes to the forum. Membership is now
restricted, so new members are not let in until they are approved by one of
the group moderators (myself, John Renzetti, or Scott Slater)... this gives
us some additional privacy. The live Chat Room has been brought back on-line
so that we might have a weekly chat night if anyone is interested.

Thanks!

Re: Stock Feeding?

Hi Richard, If you would like to machine these boards i would always machine
the ends first, if the parts are narrow i would either glue wide, than
machine, than rip, or put a clamp on a numder of pieces to easily bridge the
gap than machine depending on the material ect you might take 2 passes, feed
rate will be slowest but should see no burn. Always make a practice pass
with tool out of the way and it is a good safety procedure to shake
everything first to be sure nothing is loose. Also not a bad idea to always
orient your kip levers in one direction so at a glance you can see
everything is tight. mac feldermw+AEA-midplains.net

Hi Jason:

I can't add much to what Rick, John, and Joe have said about your
options
dilemma. I can say that the 8' slider makes that crucial jump in
length
giving
you the travel needed to handle an 8 foot panel. I don't know
what your
space
limitations are though. Consider that a KF-7F will probably need
a good
17
feet of clearance front to back. I have the 10 foot table which
eats up
about
22 feet front to back, and I find myself dodging the slider often.
Regardless, if you have the space I would urge you to get an 8
footer
whether
it be a demo unit or a new model. Bye the way, don't worry about
getting
lumber in Amarillo, remember there is lots of forrest land in
East Texas
which
happens to be about the size of lets see,,,,Virginia. I just
couldn't
resist
Rick.

Good Luck Jason!

Hi Jason:

Welcome to the group. Like you, I am also "reviewing" the options
categories. Still undecided as to what options are not only
necessary,
but
for the money, are wanted. I view this to be my last toy, so I
want it
right.

As for the table, it is my intent, to buy rough sawn lumber and
then
finish
it myself. With this in mind, the 8' sliding table is required.
(that is
the story I tell my wife anyway) I attended a show this weekend,
looked
at
another machine, and it was recommended that the 8' table was not
needed.
I
disagree with this input based on my needs. Again, you will need
to look
at
the floor space required to get the full benefit of the slider.
If you
have
the real estate to use it, by all means do it.

It has been my experience with talking to the Felder boys, they
will not
let
you screw it up. Another member of this group, John Renzetti,
has just
what
you are thinking of buying. I am sure he will respond to your
inquiry.

As an x-Texan, where are you going to get the lumber? Amarillo
has few,
if
any trees as I remember it.

Hi Group,

I'm new here, and this is my first posting. I'm not a Felder
owner yet,
but
plan to be soon. I figured I'd hang out here with you folks to
learn a bit
more about the machines, and maybe you all can help me decide
which
machine
is for me, and with what options?

I know I want the 2 function KF-7. Here's my main indecision: Do
I get the
8ft KF-7F or the KF-7 with the 78" slider? Are there any reasons
NOT to go
ahead with the 8ft? Any thoughts?

And here's where I'm really stumped: There's a "demo" model KF-7F
on the
Felder website, with several options I want. Plus they will add
the
Industrial scoring and ship it to me for alot less than I'd been
planning
on
spending on the 78" KF-7.

Could you folks please share some of your Felder wisdom with me?


thanks, Jason Gant (in Amarillo, Texas)

Re: Snipe

Charlie Norton
 

Hello Leo,

I have noticed a slight amount of flexibility in the infeed and outfeed
tables...that is both after physically moving the machine, and (most
commonly) after moving the tables up for thickness planning. I have now
gotten in the habit of re-aligning the table before any surface planning.
This may sound crazy, but I can get (at least one side) of the infeed table
aligned within .0005" in less than 20 seconds with a dial indicator on a
magnetic base.

I too, had severe snipe as the machine was delivered and I had to raise the
outfeed table to correct this. You might check to make sure that the blades
are at the correct height with respect to the outfeed table surface. Seems
to me I adjusted it so that the blades were 0.0005-0.001 higher that the
outfeed table.

Good luck!

Subject: [felder-woodworking] Snipe


I am having a somewhat sudden problem with snipe using my jointer.
Last night I set up my machine for surface planing material using the
power feeder. All rollers sitting above the outfeed table.
Initially
I had the first roller sitting less than one inch in back of the
cutterhead. Nasty and consistent snipe resulted. Then I set the
first
roller about 3 inches in back of the cutterhead. The result was
better, but still unacceptable. In both cases the rollers were set
about 1/4" below the height of the material. I finally tried hand
feeding which gave me the best (marginally acceptable) result. What
is
odd is that I didn't have this problem last week. Obviously, I am
doing something different,,,, any guesses?

Leo
