James, I have on and have to say it is pretty cool. I am still learning the programing but with a note book and notes at this point, setting up cutter s and the height and fence is about as easy as it gets. I am almost to the point of not having to do test cuts anymore.

I was only impressed by Format-4 profil 45 x-motion shaper?
I only use the scale to set the fence to the approximate position, test cut and adjust the fence.?

Re: router spindle question for KF700
Kumar,
10K Max is with standard shaper spindles. 15K for router spindle is achieved because it has smaller diameter section for belt. You also need a different belt for router spindle, at least for my older KF.
I would speak with Felder, provide them with your machine info so you get the correct router spindle and belt.

?Is this the right product for router spindle for KF 700??
FELDER? High-speed router spindle
Suitable for FELDER? Serie 6, 700, 900 with Poly-V belt drive.
Item #?430-117xx
The description on the Felder Shop specifies 15,000 rpm. How is that possible, since the machine specs give 10,000 as the highest speed?
Thank you.

Re: The cnc you have all been waiting for...
Mark,
Kinda cool,
I heard a year ago or so they were thinking about it. I am surprised that they did . Actually it looks ok for small projects. Glen

Re: K940 S commission length/time/how long?
Michael, You probably know this but as a reminder, Make sure its off the pallet and placed where you want it,
Make sure your dust collection, power ect. is hooked up.
Make sure you have filled out the sheet with the voltages between legs and two ground if it is a 3 phase machine. Glen

That’s pretty pricey. ?I made a similar rig from MDF with a trailer hitch ball for a handle based on a design from Michael Fortune. ?I believe it is maybe $15 in materials.

Resurrecting this thread, for trimming thicker, solid wood edge banding I completely forgot to mention the Betterly flush trim router setup:??
This setup will trim up to 1-1/2" wide edge lipping in a single pass.?
Betterly is based in Minnesota, ~20 minutes North of Minneapolis. They specialize in making custom router bases, primarily catering to the various counter top trades (laminate, solid surface). They perform all of their milling/machining in-house.?

I would just use flat joint and glue and overlap edges to trim later , no advantage to all the extra step. I just use a couple micro pinner To position and than clamp edge to edge. Designing and building for 47 years

Re: KF 500 zero clearance saw insert
Hey John - Are you using manual methods to shape to fit? Wondering if anyone has the digital outline of the K700 version so I can fabricate it with the CNC.?

Re: KF 500 zero clearance saw insert
Thanks to everyone for the help. ?I did make one but I didn’t think to angle cut it to add material for strength. ?I’ll make another one with the angle cut for more strength.

I think that the video shows a more completed procedure?than needed. I used 5/16" thick Garolite from McMaster-Carr that is the correct thickness. I tapered the side that goes under the slider for strength. -- Jerry P

They calls it "Torbandschraube" per the KF 700 SP schematic drawings.? It's an M8 size bolt.? Google translates it to "carriage bolt."? Is it unusual for European to use this type of bolt???
