Re: formerly known as dealing with machine companies, now EV charging
TJ, I don't know what brand "the most popular level 2 charger" is, but I have a JuiceBox and I've had two other brands, and none of them have lugs.? The 50A Juicebox comes with a #6 pigtail (bare or with plug).? ??
The 80% rule applies to circuit breakers, not conductors.? ?A 60A breaker with #6 wire is kosher and 50A continuous load is kosher (and realistically, I seriously doubt any charger actually pulls the rated amount continuously)
Imran, fyi 60¡ã wire probably isn't even manufactured anymore.? ?I can't remember the last time I requested a type.? Just this morning I bought wire at my local electrical supply and I just said "three spools of wire..." and I get 90¡ã THWN-THHN-2 (90¡ã rated)? I'm sure it's all they stock.?

Re: Felder High Speed Router Spindle 424-111
For precise height adjustment of the router bit, a router lift is needed.?
I had used Bosch MRF23EVS in the router table, it is a pain to adjust the height,?it?failed eventually. I replaced it with Porter Cable 7518 plus Incra router lift, night and day difference.
If I had the separate shaper, I would probably buy the router spindle and get rid of the router table.

Hi Joe,
?
I did not post because I did not think I good useable info but here it is anyways.
?
I choose b=100 because it has lines for the smallest cutter dia on all 4 plots. So I replotted b=100 lines from 4 diff graphs onto a single graph. Then I extrapolated for smaller spindle dia of 10mm & 20mm. Then extrapolated for cutter
dia less than 100mm. So now we have this:
?
<image001.png>
?
However, 4¡± (100mm) is not a realistic cutting edge for a router bit. I thought anymore extrapolation (which would move 10mm & 20mm curves in NE direction) would likely be not valid. If Felder provided more data (for smaller cutter dia)
for b=10 in their plots then it would be a more appropriate to repeat the above exercise.

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.

CF-531 won¡¯t start after replacing selector switch
Hi All and Happy New Year!
First time poster and owner of a 2010 CF-531 here.? ?I have been very happy with this machine since I bought it used about a year ago.? I replaced the capacitors in March of last year.
?
I bought a new selector switch in June because I had trouble starting up my jointer / planer motor and the Felder technician had diagnosed the problem as a bad selector switch.? I was able to tap the old switch to get the jointer / planer started, but it finally didn¡¯t start at all so I replaced the old switch with the new switch yesterday.
?
?
The new switch is Kraus & Naimer model A11 (A11.A-C555*FE.E) whereas the old switch was model Kraus & Naimer A14 (A14.A-C592*FE).? Plus, the new switch came with jumpers installed across various terminals.?
?
On installing the new switch, I installed all the wires to the new switch exactly like-for-like as the old switch including jumpers between terminals, so ended up not using any of the wire jumpers that came with the new switch (the old one had one wire jumper that I did install on the new switch).
?
When I press the start button for any of the three motor
s (saw, shaper, jointer/planer), I get a loud click (sounds like a relay), but none of the motors start up.? Even the jointer/planer clicks (it wouldn¡¯t even click before), so perhaps that is progress, but I¡¯m not happy that nothing is starting up. ?The reverse shaper yellow light turns on if the selector switch is set to that function.
?
I have checked the archives under "won't start", but didn't see anything that seemed applicable to my situation.
I wonder if the new switch has a slightly different internal configuration and switching pattern than the old one, and that me discarding the wire jumpers on the new switch could be causing the problem.? Has anyone experienced anything similar on replacing a selector switch??? Is there a wiring diagram / schematic for the machine with a new switch as compared to one for the old switch.
?
Any suggestions, ideas or directions you can provide would be greatly appreciated.? I have also asked Felder for their ideas.?
?
Thanks and Happy New Year,

Hey Larry?
I agree there is some risk which may cost us $500 each. ?My plans is to call Monday morning and try to push for pickup in Dallas or ship to a freight center with a lower shipping cost.

My most used router bit is a 1/8¡± round over. Most of the time it¡¯s in the router spindle already.? It¡¯s removing almost nothing but the cut is great.?
Used a 45 bevel router bit yesterday in the router spindle (never even looked at the RPM setting on the VFD) and it¡¯s cutting diameter the way I used it was like 7/8¡±.? Just removing a small amount of stock.?
?
If anyone has any experiment ideas I would be happy to run some tests at 15,000 and 23,000 to see the difference using a power feeder.? Could but a
new bit and test at the two RPM settings and 2 or 3 feed rates.
?
?
Tip speed is most critical.? Feed speed can compensate for fast tip speed but not slow.? Number of flutes helps the cuts per inch but doesn't help when the tip speed slow other than potentially
having each flute take less cut.? My experience with the 15K limit on the Felder is that core box and cove bits give me the most problem as speed is slow and a fair amount of stock needs to be removed.? I run those bits at 23K but most others seem to work
at the 15K range.? Dave
Hi Joe,
?
I did not post because I did not think I good useable info but here it is anyways.
?
I choose b=100 because it has lines for the smallest cutter dia on all 4 plots. So I replotted b=100 lines from 4 diff graphs onto a single graph. Then I extrapolated for smaller spindle dia of 10mm & 20mm. Then extrapolated for cutter
dia less than 100mm. So now we have this:
?
<image001.png>
?
However, 4¡± (100mm) is not a realistic cutting edge for a router bit. I thought anymore extrapolation (which would move 10mm & 20mm curves in NE direction) would likely be not valid. If Felder provided more data (for smaller cutter dia)
for b=10 in their plots then it would be a more appropriate to repeat the above exercise.

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

Also, ever notice how with a very light cut at 22K RPM with pitch is high and as soon as you load the router down the pitch lowers a lot? What RPM

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.

So I pay the extra for say a package that¡¯s 900.00 I insure for 1000.0 to get the extra protection well worth it . I hand deliver all my packages to the terminal and ups signs for them high value.

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: Felder High Speed Router Spindle 424-111
Bill,? I¡¯ve gone my entire professional career without a dedicated router table. When I really need one, I set up a piece of board on some Euro saw horses, and set up a temporary production run. Otherwise I use the shaper or a hand held router.?
I do plan on making a router table one day, but it will be a bench version that I can shove out of the way. I will never dedicate floor space to said table while I have a shaper ready to go.?
Of course, what you¡¯re making is also a consideration. I have a genuine need for a router table about once every two months. If I needed one every week I¡¯d disregard my comments above.?
You¡¯ve brought up a good point we all wrestle with. Hope this helps you.?

Thanks in advance Bill B¨¦langer
My most used router bit is a 1/8¡± round over. Most of the time it¡¯s in the router spindle already.? It¡¯s removing almost nothing but the cut is great.?
Used a 45 bevel router bit yesterday in the router spindle (never even looked at the RPM setting on the VFD) and it¡¯s cutting diameter the way I used it was like 7/8¡±.? Just removing a small amount of stock.?
?
If anyone has any experiment ideas I would be happy to run some tests at 15,000 and 23,000 to see the difference using a power feeder.? Could but a
new bit and test at the two RPM settings and 2 or 3 feed rates.
?
?
Tip speed is most critical.? Feed speed can compensate for fast tip speed but not slow.? Number of flutes helps the cuts per inch but doesn't help when the tip speed slow other than potentially
having each flute take less cut.? My experience with the 15K limit on the Felder is that core box and cove bits give me the most problem as speed is slow and a fair amount of stock needs to be removed.? I run those bits at 23K but most others seem to work
at the 15K range.? Dave
Hi Joe,
?
I did not post because I did not think I good useable info but here it is anyways.
?
I choose b=100 because it has lines for the smallest cutter dia on all 4 plots. So I replotted b=100 lines from 4 diff graphs onto a single graph. Then I extrapolated for smaller spindle dia of 10mm & 20mm. Then extrapolated for cutter
dia less than 100mm. So now we have this:
?
<image001.png>
?
However, 4¡± (100mm) is not a realistic cutting edge for a router bit. I thought anymore extrapolation (which would move 10mm & 20mm curves in NE direction) would likely be not valid. If Felder provided more data (for smaller cutter dia)
for b=10 in their plots then it would be a more appropriate to repeat the above exercise.
?
Here is the data for above graph

Number of flutes is important too.
?
?
would be interesting to put the data points from the 4 graphs to see if the relationship is linear. If so we can easily extrapolate if fir router use.
?
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?
?
Not meant to be sarcastic¡I read all the time that 15,000 is too slow for small bits.? Is there engineering behind this?? Seems like RPM and feed rate
and chip removal are related.? Higher RPM allows for a faster feed rate. But also if the feed rate is too low relative to the RPM you get poor results.? For commercial cutters for the shaper you often get given the ideal RPM/Feed rate.?
?
I have not used my router inverted in a table since getting my Felder early 2010.? The router spindle with my machine was rated for 19,000 rpm continuously,
and for up to 23,000 RPM for short use with higher bearing wear.? I¡¯ve tried small bits at 15,000, 19,000, and 23,000 RPM and not noticed any difference.
?
Could be that single speed routers all ran at a nominal 22,000-23,000 with no load and bigger bits were a problem with vibration.? So then when router
bits west big they made variable speed routers to slow them down for big bits and maybe that¡¯s where ¡°you need 22,000 RPM to run small bits¡± wisdom arose?
?
Also, ever notice how with a very light cut at 22K RPM with pitch is high and as soon as you load the router down the pitch lowers a lot? What RPM
is the motor actually running at under load?? With my 4kw shaper motor my 15K RPM spindle doesn¡¯t slow at all.? I would not be surprised at all to see that under load routers slow down a lot.
?
So, does anyone have science or engineering on the Intrawebs wisdom that says 15,000 RPM is too slow?

Re: The Unofficial Survival Guide
This $100 seller is using my pictures, and my description. Just sayin...
Bill B¨¦langer
Mark,
You can get the hard copy at just $100 now, a new listing, no bid yet.
James Do you think the high bidder would suddenly realize David would sell a digital copy for I think he mentioned at one point $50? (Now $500 ?)... ? The price jumped to $1,925 two minutes before the end. I seriously doubt that the buyer would pay unless he/she has a special purpose before the end of 2020.
James Non payment has repercussions, though only to established members.?
You could always 2nd chance offer it to the next highest bidder.?
D ? Well, it could happen that the buyer does not pay at the end.
