Me neither. Although I did have an issue with the tilting function. The tech swapped out the guides and it resolved. FB510

Wow, Something is absolutely wrong. If Felder technician cannot fix such excessive vibration, Felder should give you a full refund.
Btw, I have Felder FB510, I do not have the vibration issue.

Mark, ? You may have the black tube blocked that allows a vacuum to hold the bag in the?bin. Dave Davies
Hi,
Just got my new RL125 up and running. Done a small amount of work, then thought I would look to see how much the extractor had collected.
On pulling the wheeled bin out noticed the bag had been sucked up inside the machine, any idea what I am doing wrong please.
Mark.

Hello Bill,
I purchased and received a FB510 last year and found that the upper guide would shake excessively. ? I went through all the isolation tests and had to have a Felder technician come out to see if he could fix the problem.
He changed out a wheel, pulleys, etc. with no resolve. ? The only thing that seemed to minimize the vibration was to make sure that the upper guide clamp was not screwed on too tight. ?
If your interested, I can see if I have videos showing the vibration.
Very disappointed with the FB510.

Before I start isolating the motor, wheels, etc. I thought I should ask if the vibration in the FB510 is normal. I've owned 4 Grizzly bandsaws in different sizes and none of them shook like this new FB510 does. I thought I was upgrading from Griz, but the cuts off this saw are nothing to be exited about. If y'all tell me it's normal, I'll live with it, or try to find a buyer. I'm already living with a foot brake while the Grizzly had an automatic brake.
Thanks in advance.

$705 for one $605 for two, I did not ask about shipping 45 days lead time. I got a e-mail in January 2020. From China. Some one gave me a name and phone number in California. I have not had time to call them yet. Been under the weather and don¡¯t feel like
calling yet.?(800) 253-3332 This is the number this is an corporate office per the e-mail I got. I don¡¯t want to send money to China that is why I did not
buy it already. Keep me updated. Thanks Doug

Thank you for the added info. I missed the point about commonality of parts and was not informed where the interested parties are located.
Perhaps I'll have an opportunity to visit Grizzly in Bellingham in the near future and would hope to see their model on display.

David is correct. The cast iron F channel accessory tables that are roughly the same size as the aluminum P channel ones DO fit band saws as well as the back side of my KF700S.?
I have one installed as an outfeed on panel saw and bought a second along with two sets of mounting hardware. One is on my Felder jointer/planer and second is on my MiniMax band saw.?

Re: Radial Drill Press purchase
Hey Joel
My drill press is a delight to use.??
Check it out:?
What amazes me is forstner bits and drill bits that I considered less than ideal when drilling with my previous drill press now create very clean holes with very little effort.
The larger than usual table is about 16" (>400mm) square.
Cheers

So far I have been pleasantly surprised at the dimensional ability of mine. I specified a 3/4¡± hole and printed the part and a 3/4¡± shoulder bolt was a snug fit. Small holes I don¡¯t get so lucky on, but they can be chased with a reamer or drill bit. I tend to print with extra layers around the shell, or even print solid and have had decent luck with threading holes and such.?
They are a tool like anything else, useful to an extent and great within their limitations.

Totally the way to go, we use ours alot for that. lately we have been designing a lot of electrical connectors and they are great for that, I have also made quite a few assembly fixtures for production. I have the most issues with round holes, they are never perfectly round so where critical I undersize then chase it with a drill bit also we usually have to adjust the model to print to an exact size but its not always that critical. I have used dovetails to connect parts and that works well on the markforged printer. Regards, Mark On Feb 13, 2020, at 11:10 AM, Brian Lamb <blamb11@...> wrote:
? I have a Creality CR-10, it¡¯s about 3 years old now I think¡ It¡¯s not by any means a great printer, but it does up to a 12¡± cube and I get pretty good prints out of it.

It¡¯s a whole lot easier to design a part, start up the printer and let it print all night and check my finished part in the morning, and then make any changes before I commit to actually machining anything.
Brian, which 3d printer do you have and do you like it? We have a Markforged, Form3, zprinter 450 and a Metal printer in our Lux plant.?
I like the Markforged the best and the zpinter the least Regards, Mark On Feb 13, 2020, at 10:52 AM, Brian Lamb <blamb11@...> wrote:

We have been using 3d printing for 15ish years to iterate on designs but thats pretty much it, if we need a precise parts metal needs to be cut, even parts that come off our metal 3d printer are useless unless secondary operations are done with traditional machinery.?
