Re: Slider support leg question #sawsetup

 

So I have the slider adjusted to .005 above the cast iron table during 75% of its travel.? But when the slider is as far to the front of the blade as it will travel, the slider is .018 above the cast iron.?

The same at the other full extension although not quite as much due to the support leg.? Is this the best that I can hope for with only 4 bolts for adjustment?

Warning to all who buy online auction items from Machinery Max.? I paid to have this palletized.? Spoke with the guy at the ship out site who is an employee of Machinery Max to ensure he would put blocking under the machine feet so the machine would not break through the pallet.? He assured me he always does this and it would not be an issue. I pushed again telling him the last machine I had palletized indeed fell through the pallet.? He said he was the only Machinery Max person there and the only one palletizing and loading and to not worry.

?

This is what was delivered.?

  • No blocking under the legs of the machine.?
  • Just ?¡± of MDF added to the top of the pallet for a 640KG machine.? Loose parts just laying on top of the machine, are they all even there??
  • Machine broke through which was certain to happen,? Trucking company had to put a second pallet under.

?

How in any world is this palletization acceptable?? I was assured it would be correctly palletized.? The machine is now much more beat up that in the auction pics.? Not sure I have any recourse.? I did buy $10,000 of coverage for shipping but it was not the shipper¡¯s fault.

Re: Langzauner Sander Delivery - Warning on Machinery Max Palletization

 

That's really poor. Though good to see I wasn't overly unlucky with my recent pallet mishap. I had a Hammer N4400 delivered via the pallet network in the UK. It was shipped on a 1x1.2 pallet vertically and had fallen over in transit. Hit the fence bar and cracked the casting at the bottom (but remained attached, managed to bend it back, some serious casting to take that kind of hit and not shear, the M10 bolts were at 90degrees though hah). Filed off the grooves in the bar (looked like it hit concrete, sharp sand/concrete dust embedded, looked like it bounced a few times too...), fence bar was remarkably perfectly straight still. No bent sheet metal or marks to the paint.


But yes, above is particularly poor...

Joe, if that machine can be run on low voltage, you may need to boost your voltage.? 277v less 10% brings you down to the 250v minimum.? the motors will likely run warmer and may be fine but is it easy and cheap to put two? buck boost 32v transformers, wired open delta on the machine to get within spec.?

Some transformers can be run in reverse but you need to understand the grounding issues when doing so.? Generally if the plate on the transformer says " low and High " you shouldn't reverse.? If it says " primary and secondary" it may be OK but should be checked by the manufacturer.? An auto transformer will be delta to delta in your case and be a smaller unit and cheaper but may not deliver quite as clean power as an isolation transformer.?

Re: Motor plate experts

 

In Austria (where this is made) and western europe (main market) the 3 phase standard is 400V.? ?So the manual says 400V, because that's the default.? Your specific machine was configured for US market, where 480V is the parallel standard.? So this is a motor for 480V 3-Phase power.? It says 460V, because equipment is designed to a "utilization voltage", not the distribution voltage (it's just assumed there some loss within the facility from the point of power to the actual equipment, which is often hundreds of feet).? That's the same as the ubiquitous confusion between 115v (utilization rating) and 120v (distribution rating)

The other motors are dual-voltage, 230/400V.? ?They also say 218-242, which is just saying 230V +/-5% (5% is the standard allowed deviation from nominal voltage). Likewise, 380-420V is 400V +/- 5%.? Since 5% is the universal norm, putting 230V and 218-242V on the nameplate is purely redundant.?

These motors will have 6 terminals, the start and end of three windings.? When the windings are connected in delta formation, the supply voltage must be 230V.? When the windings are connected in star/wye formation the voltage must be 400V.

So two motors you just hook up to your 3P power (using correct motor terminals), and the motor needs a 240->480 transformer.??

Long time lurker, first time posting, thought I'd share a minor success I had recently. I've been using an AD741 for three years now, have always been annoyed by the occasional high pitched squeal that comes from vibration of the bent metal infeed pressure bar. I had read several message threads here about potential fixes but so far as I gathered no one had arrived at one. I had contacted Felder about it and was assured it was nothing abnormal, and there was no particular fix for it.

The squeal?only happened for me when taking sequential passes on boards, not on a rough surface, so my thought was that the drag of a smooth board on the pressure bar was leading vibration in the entire bent metal bar. I found that i could temporarily alleviate the problem but putting paste wax on inferior edge of the bar, but that only lasted so long.?

So I did two things. First, I attached a thin layer of foam to the surfaces of that metal bar in areas where it wouldn't interfere with any moving parts. I used some left over shelf liner material to do it. Then I filled the little crevice created by the last bend in the metal plate with hot glue (the area circled in blue on the diagram). Those measures really dampened any vibration in the plate. As a final measure I put a piece of Low Friction tape that I got from Lee Valley along the bottom edge where the bar rides along the wood.?



I'm not really sure which of these fixes was the one that did the trick, I'm guessing probably the low friction tape was the key given the paste wax experiment, but between all those measures the high pitched squeal is completely gone. What a relief, it was driving me nuts.?

Anyway, thought I'd share in case anyone else out there is having the same issue.?

Incidentally, just placed an order for a k700 slider, so i'm sure i'll be hitting you all up with questions in a few months when this thing arrives.?

Thanks for the tips on the jointer Dave. I may have to try them as I have experienced the same with my 741.?

I just took delivery of a new K700 myself and have been pouring thru the Felder Survival guide getting it all calibrated. Enjoy your new saw!


The "Singing Planer" finally solved...I think

 

Long time lurker, first time posting, thought I'd share a minor success I had recently. I've been using an AD741 for three years now, have always been annoyed by the occasional high pitched squeal that comes from vibration of the bent metal infeed pressure bar. I had read several message threads here about potential fixes but so far as I gathered no one had arrived at one. I had contacted Felder about it and was assured it was nothing abnormal, and there was no particular fix for it.

The squeal?only happened for me when taking sequential passes on boards, not on a rough surface, so my thought was that the drag of a smooth board on the pressure bar was leading vibration in the entire bent metal bar. I found that i could temporarily alleviate the problem but putting paste wax on inferior edge of the bar, but that only lasted so long.?

So I did two things. First, I attached a thin layer of foam to the surfaces of that metal bar in areas where it wouldn't interfere with any moving parts. I used some left over shelf liner material to do it. Then I filled the little crevice created by the last bend in the metal plate with hot glue (the area circled in blue on the diagram). Those measures really dampened any vibration in the plate. As a final measure I put a piece of Low Friction tape that I got from Lee Valley along the bottom edge where the bar rides along the wood.?



I'm not really sure which of these fixes was the one that did the trick, I'm guessing probably the low friction tape was the key given the paste wax experiment, but between all those measures the high pitched squeal is completely gone. What a relief, it was driving me nuts.?

Anyway, thought I'd share in case anyone else out there is having the same issue.?

Incidentally, just placed an order for a k700 slider, so i'm sure i'll be hitting you all up with questions in a few months when this thing arrives.?

Joe,

?

I am pretty sure both motor labels say they are 250-277V when delta connected and 440-480V when Y connected ¨C (60 Hz).

?

Do you see a pictorial that shows how to connect motor leads for delta power?

?

I am not knowledgeable enough to know if 230V that you have is okay for the 250V min rating on the motor plate.

The Langzauner sander machine tag says 3 phase 460V.? The specs in the manual say 400V 3 phase. ?The power junction box on the machine is labeled 480V, looks like this is from the last shop.? Ideally I can rewire for 240V three phase.? My power supply is utility Delta 230V 3 Phase.

?

Machine tag, and two motor tags pics attached.? I¡¯m and electrical engineer who has been a business person for 25 years so I¡¯m not fluent in this stuff today.? Looks like at least these two motors can run in the 250V range.? Does the tag specify delta power?? I see some step up transformers are 240V Delta 2 phase in and 480V WYE out.?

?

I don¡¯t yet have it off the pallet to check the other bits.?

I have not pulled the covers off to see inside the wire box. No diagrams on outside of motor.? Had some email correspondence with a guy who was the importer of those machines in that era.? He said that machine was a custom order for 460V and standard is 400V.
