Re: groups.io for Felder Woodworking?
Which Facebook group did you like? I'm not particularly active on the social side of that platform, but have enjoyed the few groups I've joined.?

Re: groups.io for Felder Woodworking?
As part of my work, I have done -a lot- of data migrations and over 80% of the time, these are useless: the old data is outdated or its value overestimated by the clients. For example, in the case of this forum, I have a hard time giving any value to the archives because in all my Felder/Hammer googling, it never came up in the search results. And lets be frank: if you dont show up in Google results, you dont exist for people who dont know where to look at. Maybe my keywords were too broad but they are still a good sample of what a new comer would use.
That being said, I am not proposing myself to do the switch to Discourse. A move to is a much easier transition, I just wanted to show what is possible. Also, data migration is not mandatory to switch to another forum: the old threads will still exist, nothing is deleted. It is just that new content is created elsewhere and with Google giving importance to content creation date, the new forum home would quickly rise in the search results.

Re: groups.io for Felder Woodworking?
The question is and always has been who is going to be one to transfer all the information from one forum to another and what does it cost. Currently every thing is on Yahoo and doesn't cost a dime. Many of us that have been on the forum for a fair number of years don't have too many issues getting info. Brian has been great at moderating and taking care of the operations and I haven't heard of anyone else stepping up to give him a hand. If you're up to the task state your proposal.?

Hi all (first time poster, soon to be Hammer owner c3-31),
I work as a web developer and spend an incredible amount of time each day in forums for job related tasks.
Google and Yahoo groups are at the very bottom of the list. Pretty much anything is better. The problem is that they use the most user friendly of all interfaces: emails. While they make search in archive a pain, yield poor results in google search, make it impossible to post images or format text, it is hard to beat the convenience of emails.
If there is a strong willingness to switch, may I suggest?? Maybe it is a little too advanced for none techies, but this forum software is state of the art in the field of forum management. I have setup a few of these in the past and everyone was happy in the end: it is ridiculously fast, looks gorgeous and make it very easy to link from one post to another, thus making it very easy to use old posts as references.

Re: Crazy Horse panel cart
I thought the dolly had provisions to carry the sheet vertically, long side parallel to ground. I doubt most hobby shops with a few large machines have the room to navigate the shop with 4x8 sheet horizontal, unless the saw is next to the entryway.

Re: Crazy Horse panel cart
I did not see this link in other posts, but this seems to be the website where one can select the Crazy Horse and then add it to the cart and then proceed to checkout! ?FYI.
For me, I do not have a lot of space in my shop anywhere close to what is on the youtube video. ?I store 4x8 plywood away from where my saw is located, and when I need to cut down a plywwood sheet, I then hand carry it over to the saw. ?My only possible alternative would be a panel cart as the width requirement is far less than the 4 ft plus clearance needed when the sheet is flat. ?When I am at the machine, being able to fix the slider and then position the panel is always awkward, and if this compact Crazy Horse will make that as easy as it looks on the youtube video in my shop where I have less space surrounding my saw, then that would be great!

Re: Rip fence locking lever
Thanks Brian
Sorry I should have said it's a 2015 K700s (and yes it locks onto the round bar)
I'll have to study my parts diagram and see if i can make any headway. I was hoping someone had already been down this road!
Stephen

Stephen,
I went out and looked at my KF, I assume you are talking about the model that locks onto the round bar? I had too much stuff in the way to pull the whole head off the bar, but it appears that the plastic lever cams over and pulls the sheet metal yoke tight against the bar. I could see real well, but there appears to be several screws in the area of where the lever hits, so maybe they are some sort of adjustment. My parts list doesn¡¯t show this particular set of parts as this was a retrofit situation on the 2001 machines that came with an aluminum rip fence head that was completely different.
Hi
The locking lever on the rip fence of my K700s has always been very tight, it requires a lot of force to lock it. I'd like to slacken it just a bit so that I can lock it down easier.?
Any guidance as always will be much appreciated.?
Regards
Stephen

Thanks so much for making and sharing this installation primer!
I am planning to install the kit this weekend.
Your help has made my shop so much better!? Every time I use the Rong Fu with DRO I think of you and how much easier you have made things for me in my shop!? I plan to finish up the repairs on the Maweg sander soon, I wish I had had the parts when you were in New Orleans.
Thanks again and Happy New Year!

The Comatic Smart Stand height DRO kit is about $120 plus shipping. ? Here is a link to the installation process.
Enjoy, and happy new year.

It has been several months since I paid for it but I think it was somewhere around $120.? It was a special order so I don't think Kyle stocks it. Steve
