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 – (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.

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.

I recently picked up a slightly used (2017) Hammer B3 Winner.? I'm considering adding the Fine Adjustment mechanism that Felder sells.? The original owner added a Wixey DRO, so there could be some added benefit to being able to make precise adjustments.? (I'm still deciding if the Wixey is worth some of its quirks).? I've looked for posts about this option, but can't seemed to find any.? It's $201 on Felder's website, which is I guess reasonable for Felder.? It looks pretty simple, 2 threaded knobs, nuts, washers, and a piece of machined steel that slides on the guide rail and the knobs thread onto.? Any thoughts or experience using it on your Hammer's would be appreciated.

I'm also looking for a blade guard.? The stock one was damaged, so I can either order a replacement from Felder ($75) or look at other alternatives.? I'm planning to hook up dust collection to it, so an alternative would need to work that.??

Thanks

Here's a picture of how Derek Cohen added a Wikey to his K3.? Searching on Sawmill Creek is done better via Google and the "site:sawmillcreek.org" option.
