Re: hinges of tool cabinet
10 years ago I used piano hinge from Hafele to hang a library cabinet that was also a secret door, 2100mm high by 900mm wide, the client filled it with books and VHS video tapes.......I? saw it last month and it's as good as the day I fitted it.
I believe your tool cabinet will hold up absolutely fine on piano hinge.

Don't look for piano hinges, look for "continuous hinge". They are usually much heavier, and sometimes more expensive. In my experience piano hinges need a lot of tolerance as the cheap ones have a lot of slop and no ability to adjust. Continuous hinges are typically much tighter.

my only negative on piano hinge, from one use, is that there is more force on the top portion in a vertical application. the success depends on how well the screws hold in the substrate.

Hi guys,
I am building a (huge) tool cabinet, 42"h x 41"w and about 3/4 thick. I am wondering what kind of hinge I should use to hold the doors. The doors will be about 3.5" deep, everything in hard maple except the door panels which are going to be either birch or cherry ply.?
I was thinking about using these piano hinges:??but I was wondering if these could hold the weight without sagging.?
I am also open to any other suggestions available to purchase from Canada.?

Re: dust hoses for KF 700
6” main drop to a baffle/box that lets me switch between the shaper hoses and the saw hoses, has a couple extra 2.5” ports for aux suction when running PF with the table saw.
The air for the clamps (Imran’s axing clamps :-) ) and power come down from there as well.  Sent from a device with less than stellar autocorrect

It is single speed. I moved the small roller by moving the feed lever shown in the photo below. I haven't had a chance to remove the motor plate yet. Do you recommend that I use something on the side to tap it loose?

Re: Cut Wood with Non-Ferrous Blade?
Hi Fred,
Got it. for some reason i thought you had purchased a big squeeze clamp, giving me the notion that you have a sliding saw.

You have to get that rusted ring off the studs first. I'm guessing it's been there long enough, and probably slightly stuck in the paint, once it's off you will be able to lift the motor, I can see slots in the green chassis if you enlarge the photo.

I jiggled the motor from the rear and it moves a bit.? I tried levering from the front again like in the photo from the doc David sent and the motor moves up maybe 1mm or 2.? It sort of makes sense to be that it can't move since the retaining bolts are
passing through the frame and it seems like unless they bend the motor won't move much.?

Re: Electrical wires from above for KF 700
#wiring
Yes, all our equipment has hanging electrical lines. Use properly rated materials and strain reliefs, and twist lock connectors (preferably at shoulder height for easy reach or above your head so you don't run into it when equipment is moved but cord is hanging). Overhead solves many problems with tripping and catching debris/cleanup.

Re: Hammer C3-31 cuts out issue
#hammer
Sounds a lot like overcurrent protection/thermal cutout since there's clearly a cool down period and it cuts out with load, I don't know where this resides on the 2002 model. I have a 2005 B3 and it's part of the isolator switch on the back. Perhaps overcurrent is done within the electrical box on the older models. Look for something near the contactors within the electrical box written "FLA" (full load amps) or similar.

David you are correct and so is Jeff when he initially asked if belt should go in between the two rollers, looks as if smaller roller/tensioner is attached to link arm that engages the feed by pressing drive belt between tensioner roller and feed roller. Otherwise how else would there be ?power at the feed rollers. Not sure why they have same type of adjustment grub screw as my CF741 if not for adjustment of some kind. Jeff will be interesting to see if there are elongated holes behind face plate. On my CF741 there is 1 belt to cutter head and feed is obtained by the engagement of urethane covered wheel directly onto motor shaft, there is 2, one either side to get hi and low speed. Looking at your machine Jeff does it have just the one speed or is the motor a variable speed?. ? ? Sent from for Windows 10 ?
