45k CAD$ is 35K US$ based on the current exchange rate. I doubt Kappa 400 with the 12 foot sliding table would cost that much.

When I bought my KF700sp in 2016, I recall Kappa 400 was 30K+ CAD$ plus tax at that time.

If the board is truly 7.5" thick/tall I'd suggest looking into special brackets like??.?

Otherwise, a clever method if the situation makes sense is to cut? the back of the board a good 1-1.5" from the back edge, and use it to mount directly to the wall with recessed anchors. Then use dominoes in an array to push the rest of the board against the mounting slice, and the piece will be impossible for the next guy to figure out how you did it once the adhesive sets and the dominoes swell. If you dry fit the dominoes beforehand like you are supposed to, you can tweak the joint line to make invisible, which shouldn't be too tough on ash given grain orientation. Fun project!

Dave Davies, thanks for passing along your son’s comment. ?Just last week I experienced a bunch of flack on one of the machinist forums for not taking quick and dirty approach to things just to “get it done in the most expedient manner.” ?I felt compelled to respond - admittedly in a defensive tone, but I think it’s worth repeating here since many of us in this group share a similar dedication to doing things to high standards. ?Here was my reply to the hacks:

"We each have our own orientation in pursuing a craft such as this. For me, this is a journey of continuous learning, problem-solving, and perfecting skills. Taking the KISS approach often does little to enhance those aspects.?

I am often equally baffled why someone pursuing a hobby or craft would consistently take the cheap and expedient path. In so doing, they miss an opportunity to experiment, grow, learn, and be rewarded with the immense gratification of tackling and succeeding at something previously beyond their grasp. In my avocational pursuits, faced with something easy and something challenging, I will consistently pick the latter. To do otherwise is a shortcut with hollow reward and bypasses the chance to do something exceptional.

Perhaps, as the acronym KISS suggests, that renders me “stupid” in the minds of others. So be it. I do as much as I can to live up to my surname and rarely succeed. This path is not always easy or expedient, but despite the hardships, frustrations, and occasional disparaging remarks, I’m better for it. Paraphrasing one individual with greater determination than my own, “We do it not because it is easy, but because it is hard.” This, I believe, is the source of enhanced achievement.

As I said in an earlier post, to each their own.”

?perhaps the feed rollers need an adjustment beyond just the spring tension? Most of you guys in this forum seem have this info already, but the specs I got from Felder when I tuned up my AD741 were as follows:

The infeed roller should be 0.020" below the bottom most rotation of the carbide insert.
The outfeed roller should be 0.028" below.
+/- 0.004

Maybe if the infeed and/or outfeed rollers are set too high they're not engaging the material properly to pull it through?

?So a friend wants a live edge mantle from an Ash log. He already has the log cut on the band mill. It is 11” deep (sticking out from wall) and 7.5” tall (vertical). The mantle will be 5’ long.

I can run the 11” wide top on the jointer and then make the back 90 deg to it. Finally run it thru planer to get the bottom parallel to the top.

I need to return each end of the mantle so will need to cut 45s. I plan to do each 45 deg cut in two passes (due to 7”+ thickness) with material on one side of the xcut fence and then flipped and placed on the other side of the xcut fence. I have not done this so far.

Finally i can plough a recess on the back side on all 3 pieces for mounting purpose and process a piece of wood that fits perfectly in the recess. With this piece mounted on the wall the mantle can be pushed on it and screwed from bottom. I can easily plough about 3” deep. Is that deep enough for a 11” deep mantle?

I know there are many mounting options out there but would like to find out if what i described would work?
