Re: CF-531 won¡¯t start after replacing selector switch
Thanks, Joe and Imran
I bought the new switch from Felder. It was specified after their technician did his on-site troubleshooting to determine that it was, in fact, the switch causing the original problem with my machine.? ?So, I can only assume they knew what old switch it was replacing.? At the time, I had asked for a wiring schematic, but they didn¡¯t send anything.
?
As mentioned, the new switch came with jumpers installed between terminals, but I removed all of these and replaced them with jumpers to match the connections on the old switch.? I suspect, as Joe mentioned, that some of the jumpers that came with the new switch were there to replicate the switching function of the old switch.? I wish I had taken a photo of the jumper configuration on the new switch before taking them all off.?
I also saw reference to the A11 switch in the Kraus & Naimer catalog that Imran found, but couldn¡¯t find the specific model matching the new switch, nor could I find any reference to the old A14 switch.?
I hope to talk with Felder on Monday and get a wiring schematic for the new switch (and old switch, if different).? I will also reach out to Kraus & Naimer to see if they can help me with the switching configuration of the two switches.?
Of course, it¡¯s possible that I somehow didn¡¯t wire the new switch up exactly the same as the old one, but I was pretty careful ¨C doing one terminal at a time.?
Thanks again for your help and suggestions.? Will keep you posted.?

Re: CF-531 won¡¯t start after replacing selector switch
This is the link for their catalog collection. You may need to contact them for A14 details.
How did you find out that A11 can be used to replace A14?
Either way, i would suggest contacting Felder to get the A14 wiring diagram unless you made notes of the original switch wiring.
You may be able to wire A11, assuming it is compatible, from the catalog i shared in the earlier msg.

Re: Dealing with woodworking machine companies - Harvey

It does help Lucky. I bought the router table for my new shop because?I always had one. I bought the shaper on recommendation from my salesman?but he told me NOT to bother buying the router spindle, that it was quicker and easier to use
a router table, but I got the spindle anyway. I'm just setting up and my?first opotunity?was to use the shaper for something too big for the router table, and watching this?thread (which it looks like I hijacked, oops, just realized and I apologize) looks
like I might be able to use the F700Z all the time. I'd much rather do that, since I've always had issues with the router table with chatter etc. So I think my best bet is to force myself to use the shaper exclusively for 6 months?or so and see how it goes.

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.

Subject: Re: [FOG] Felder High Speed Router Spindle 424-111
?
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: Last day to save 10% on Felder Accessories
I bought a 950 as well. I had the Grizzly version in Maine. The Grizzly came with a nice storage cabinet underneath for the same price. It¡¯s a shame to waste that space so I¡¯ll have to build a cabinet for it.

Yeah,
I was a sucker for it too!? Bought a Hammer HS 950 edge sander yesterday.? The stacked discounts seemed pretty good.? Hoping to get it shipped with my KF700SP.

Re: Felder High Speed Router Spindle 424-111
All:
When I bought my KF 700, I sold my Incra/Porter Cable router table to save space and also to force myself to use the shaper with the router spindle.
My experience verifies the Joe Jensen question, even with the slower speed --the solidity and power of the Felder has worked well every time I have used same. ?Having said that, I have often thought that a dedicated router table would be a useful re-addition. ?In the process of moving my shop, I am considering one¡ªthe cost is certainly higher than before, I think I costed out my product choices at almost $2K.
Happy New Year to all.

I cant measure the spindle speed, but I can verify that on my 700Z with vfd, all my router bits run great. Cutters from a 1/8" round over to 1 12" or more. This makes for a versatile machine when you consider a 1/8" round over to a pair of 220 mm rebate heads employed for tenoning.
