Re: Felder High Speed Router Spindle 424-111

 

开云体育

My machine has generic guide that is based upon recommended feed rate between 40 & 70m/s


lower feed rate than 40m/s can result in kickback and higher than 75m/s can cause damage to tooling not to mention excessive wear if the tool continues to run w/o damage.

There is a graph in the manual that further refined this with inclusion of cutter length b


I know this does not cover router spindle. Has anyone seen a graph like above from Felder for router spindle?

This spindle works at 15,000 rpm, so for smaller- diameter router bits the cutting edge speed is kind of low. For larger bits and deeper cuts, it works great, having many HP behind it, and is as close to totally?vibration- free as you are going to get. Changing spindles is not difficult, but changing back and forth is a pain, so my cast- iron router table is my go- to for that sort of work unless I feel I really need what the Felder spindle brings.

Re: Fine Adjustment for Rip Fence on Hammer B3

Cliff Rohrabacher, Esq.

My fine adjustment is? a 1" travel dial indicator and a little clamp to hold the indicator in place.??

If course? the real issue with that saw is the Factory Rip Fence.? It is a horror show of? cheesy incompetent design and crap engineering and shoddy materials.? I made a version that is way more sturdy? rigid

?and smoother to use? it's sort of like the one that Very Super Cool Tools sells only better.?? You might look up their Euro? Fence and see what you think of it before pouring cash into that? factory fence.

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

Re: Fine Adjustment for Rip Fence on Hammer B3

 

I am sorry if I am the cause of your discomfort, Mark :)

Curious minds would like to know what it is that upsets you so?

For reference, the Wixey in question is attached with a rare earth magnet, and this offers a secure fitting. The Wixey was a refugee from a previous tablesaw, so it was "free". This has been a useful addition, bearing in mind that the slider is now used more than the rip fence. The Fiama looks nice and would be neater, but perhaps for another time.

I liked the precision and ability to return to settings, and added a similar set up to a Hammer N4400 bandsaw. Useful, for example, when re-sawing and for joinery, such as tenon cheeks.

Regards from Perth

Re: Machinery Choice and Workshop Layout

 

how it is setup now, I cant pull it all the way back but it will allow me to cut 8x4 sheet. 3200 will be fine, I got this 3800mm slider cos it was a factory shutdown auction. otherwise I would have settled for something no bigger than 2500mm. I dont need the lengths beyond 2500mm.

You could place the bandsaw like how I placed mine, nicely tucked in the dead zone behind the panel saw.?

not to mention my extractor takes out a fairly big chunk of space in the workshop!?
