I honestly cannot imagine using a slider without the butt bar. Unless you have your crosscut fence at the front (closest to you) and all you cut is small parts. For processing sheets or anything else large with the fence in the rear position, it's essential-especially if you don't have pneumatic clamps. The butt bar is what allows you to be able to keep the sheet against the fence. Jason Holtz

Re: Airlines for new shop
I just used the rubber air hose. Easy in and around corners and through holes....Used conduit clamps where necessary. Not fancy but easy.

Re: Lubricant for sliding table
That was from 10 years ago.. I guess maybe things have changed now.. I'm just going off what the Felder tech told me to use..it really seems to help..I made sure I wiped off the tracks afterwards?

Re: Lubricant for sliding table
Yes , this just came out when my saw was delivered in Oct it was recommended to not blow air hard on the rails and just a dry wipe, red scotchbrite if needed. Wonder if it helps with conductivity of the lv rails on the sliders with the on/off on the slide and they just made it a standard recommendation for all Regards, Mark

Re: Lubricant for sliding table
I was concerned about using any form of lubricant and voiced this concern to Greg, who is their head tech and he assured me that the ballistol spray was the only spray that was Felder approved for this application..so I figured I cant go wrong..

You will find cleaning the outrigger slide on all 4 sides will help with the smoothness, just don't use any type of lube that dust will stick to. I do this monthly. If you try using an abrasive make sure you get rid of the grit unless you want to really change your bearings.
