Re: New C3-41 owner
My 1999 C3-31 had two issues. The first was that the massive cam clamp, which turned out to be real overkill for the application, moved up and down on a round post that was also the used by the miter gauge quadrant as it's pivot. The effect of clamping stock with the cam clamp was similar to rapping the miter quadrant with a mallet- it always knocked it a few degrees one way or the other. And because in a threaded connection the first threads take more of the load the force? of the cam levered up against the top forward thread and stripped it, followed by the next thread etc. until the top 6 threads or so were gone on the forward side so the post and miter gauge could rattle around as they liked. ?Far the worst design I've seen, I replaced it with an Osborne EB-3 ? ? For the rip fence I used a NOS Delta unifence, no longer made. An issue is that when you want to thickness plane you start by flipping the rear joiner table up and it supports the fence rail which is cantilevered from the joiner table to the saw blade, so the fence rail is beyond vertical when planing. Whatever system you pick will likely have to be front rail only and wants a stout rail. A discussion of various fence options for the Hammer B3 is here: http://tinyurl.com/zwnfdxz? and? http://tinyurl.com/65y698r And an installation sequence for the unifence on a B3 is here: http://tinyurl.com/hybp2al I like the unifence and it hasn't disappointed me yet. Perhaps this information will get you started and if you need more just ask.

Re: Adjust shaper spindle to 90 on C3-41
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýClean ways and check for dirt on the stop bolt if that fails adjust the bolts best to put a dial indicator on the spindle and sweep 360. Different modeled have different adjustments you will have to figure that out, not rocket science. martin/campshure/co/llc 608-824-0023?fax Designing and building for 47 years On Jan 30, 2017, at 2:34 AM, imranindiana@...

Re: Adjust shaper spindle to 90 on C3-41
You may clarify if this 90 deg you cannot achieve is in the direction the spindle travels or you are talking about the other direction, that is inline with material feed.
I have a diff Felder machine but achieving 90 in the direction of spindle travel is done by a set screw. If the screw is already bottomed out than you may need a screw with shorter head. You may also have dust preventing the last bit of travel. If you are talking about not achieving 90 in the material feed direction, that is more complicated. I can only hazard a guess that the entire spindle assembly would need to be shimmed against the base machine. I have never looked at this adjustment on my machine, so not sure if it is even possible. |

I 100% agree Felder sevice techs are more than disappointing. Regardless if the machine is new i would hold them to it.

Play hard ball, be amicable but stern if you are rud or an ass they will ignore you. If you are a oushover they will take it and run with it. Ask for Ruan the CEO and if you really have a case hold explain it to him and he will have it taken care of. I had a problem with a brand new machine a couple years ago. It took about four months p, six visits of a Felder tech and about 40-50 actual man hours to get my machine what i thought was cutting right.? There is no way the techs whom serviced my machine did not figure this out in the 40-50 plus hours the messed around with my machine. They never told me of the problem?though and in the end being they knew i had not caught on buried the problem.? Really crappy buisness if you ask me. Dont let them do the same to you. Had it not taken a crane to gett he machine into my shop i would had returned it after the 3rd or 4th tech visit. Sorry to hear of your problem. Good luck ? On Sunday, January 29, 2017, hello@...

Re: Adjusting jointer tables on a C3-31 (2015 Model)
Hi James,
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately the setup guide is for the older model A3-31, I think I can see where they differ and where they are the same and surmise how I should adjust this model, but a little more certainty would be reassuring. Thanks for your help. |

Re: Shop placement of KF700
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýNo problem with that set up just be sure to allow for overhead saw guard arm. Dust and electrical come off that side also.?

Re: Shop placement of KF700
Welcome aboard, Jeff. My KF700sp's right side is placed against the wall, I opted for 32 inch rip capacity to save the space. The only thing I can see is rough sizing cut is limited because of the wall. James

Shop placement of KF700
Hello all, I'm a soon to be new owner of a few Felder machines. KF700SP , FB510 and AD741. I've been woodworking about 20 years but have no experience with Euro machines. I have a question about the KF700SP. Is there any issues placing the right side of the saw directly up against a wall? I looks to be like there is nothing over there I would need to get to. With my old cabinet saw that's how I had it set up and it worked out great for maximizing shop space. I'm hoping I can set this up the same way. Any advice from you experienced users would be welcome.

Re: Adjusting jointer tables on a C3-31 (2015 Model)
Have you checked the A3 31 setup guide from Felder USA website? Maybe you can apply the same procedure on the jointer table adjustment on your C3-31. James On Sun, Jan 29, 2017 at 9:49 AM, hello@... [felder-woodworking] <felder-woodworking@...> wrote:

Adjusting jointer tables on a C3-31 (2015 Model)
Hello, I recently purchased a C3-31 and am a previous owner of an A3-31. I was lucky to receive an A3-31 that was essentially perfectly set up, however my C3-31 arrived completely out of whack across the entire machine. My last real issue to tackle in the jointer table adjustment; the outfeed table is set, I now just need to align the infeed table. The infeed table is tipped down (by a lot!) at the end opposite the cutter and I have no clue where to begin in bringing up that end, so the infeed table is parallel with the outfeed table. The manual does not address this issue and my local Felder team are more trouble than they're worth.? Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance for your time. |
