The fact that the Aigner fence is thicker than the original fence is fixable with a modification as per?John Kee's post. I couldn't find John's post. Here is my post on the subject: /g/felderownersgroup/topic/76701518#109503

First thing I noticed is that the belt will not fit on the lower motor pulley as shown on the placard on the front of the machine where it looks like you'd get 15,000 RPMs.
It will only go on the 3rd one down.
Second is that with the aigner fence, It will not go back far enough to get to the bearing on the top of the roundover bit.
You cannot use the full bit.
I'm wondering if the original Felder fence will facilitate that last 5mm of travel?

Oops, and here is the original with the silicone for reference , all of the cavities below the LED were filled with silicone?

I was resisting and really wanted to just buy it so I could get back to building furniture but couldn’t take the random flying pieces of wood anymore, One of the big drawbacks of a zci for me is that you have to remove it for angle cuts but yet in another plus of moving up to the k940 over the k700 is that you don’t have to remove it to change the angle, at least with a 300mm blade which is what I use.?
Felder should offer it but I think it would be pretty costly, they could recut the mold for the Injection molded parts but the parts they are getting out now (at least the ones on my machine) are pretty low quality, lots of shrinkage probably due to injecting too fast, cooling to fast I doubt they did a a flow analysis- could probably improve the part with scientific molding but even then plastic isn’t really the right material to base a ZCI off of for this machine config, could be done but metal as the base would be better.?

I need one terribly for K975. I bought 2 for KF700 and never installed them. It was not bad because I do not have scoring. I think scoring just exacerbates the situation and cutoffs are violent. IMHO, OEM should consider ZCI implementation when designing the saw.

Re: Electrical Problem with CF731 Pro
Did you check your saw start button? They tend to get dust inside them and malfunction. Each green button is Normally Open and when you push it, the circuit connects and starts the motor. Each function has it’s own start button. The stop buttons are all in a string, so if any of them are pushed, it will stop any function/motor on the machine.

Hello.? I've been experiencing exasperating problems with the start function on my machine. I can now probably write a book about this, but suffice to say that when the selector switch is set to Table Saw, the machine fails to start.? I've worked quite a bit with Phillip Dingus at Felder.? He's been a champion, but we've failed to figure out what is happening.? I sprung for a whopping $700 to buy a new selector switch, which I meticulously installed, terminal for terminal, wire for wire, with zero effect.? The machine will start when set to J/P and Shaper, in forward or reverse, but any time the selector passes through TDC (which is the Table Saw), no machine will subsequently start.? I am wondering if there is anyone in the group who is sufficiently wise in the ways of electrical engineering to help me through the wiring diagram to perhaps pinpoint what is going wrong.? I have also traced every single wire in the machine, and compared the "as-is" wiring to the wiring diagram furnished by Felder.? There are some anomalies, but the machine worked flawlessly as wired for 19-1/2 years, so...go figure.? Any ideas of where to turn?? Thanks!? Greg

Re: Power feeder mount Hammer C3-31
Hi Roger,
I worked with a few folks, sorry that I forgot. That is just too bad that there is no solution for hammer.
You know if one is unable to flip the PF or likely to sustain an injury doing so, a hoist can be used as a last resort - A very slow moving one. That was actually my first attempt. an electric one from HF which was way too fast. Once I moved my entire machine, scary. Would not recommend it.
As I write this, I realize that there is a kill switch on the hoist (a puck like thing contacts the kill switch). This puck normally resides at the end of the rope and turns motor off when rope is completely rewound. I have not checked but if that can be moved and fixed along the rope, one can automatically kill the hoist before reaching the max rotation of the PF. Then push it by hand over the fulcrum and then release the hoist to bring it down. This may make it safe to use the cheap HF hoist.

All you need is a lip to screw the custom bracket. I can lift my beast Vario4 with 2 fingers. Some felder combos don’t have the 1.75” space required, so not sure if hammer has the room. All parts run about $60 for the setup.

I need one terribly for K975. I bought 2 for KF700 and never installed them. It was not bad because I do not have scoring. I think scoring just exacerbates the situation and cutoffs are violent. IMHO, OEM should consider ZCI implementation when designing the saw.

I remember mounting a 6-41 M on one for an exhibition in 1994 while working for the guys that were the uk sales agent back then but cant figure out the centre point of rotation for my machine as its not as straight forward as one might expect. Because we got
it wrong at the 1st attempt.
I've located a potential bearing that is the right size and load capacity. But need the top plate layout, because the layout is to close to guess.
Catalog picture without the machine would do at a pinch.
Thanks in advance.

Which would you prefer? ? A turntable branded Hammer, Felder, Format-4, Martin, or Mercedes-Benz ? ?ROFLMAO.

So I decided I needed a zci for the new k940, thought I would get away without one but here I am... I reached out to David Best as I knew he had made one for the kappa. The k940 saw unit, top casting and 3 plastic segments appear to be the same however I have the LED lights so wasn’t sure if David would be willing to modify his design and if it would be worth the time/cost to do so. After a few back and forth emails David decided to not take it on, a few key dimensions were slightly different and could require a few iterations to get it right which I agreed.?
David was so kind in allowing me to use his drawings, however after I started to model it and compared it to my parts in hand it wasn’t adding up so I had to abandon the drawings given and just start from scratch from my actual parts.
So the first task was to model the LED section first as it is the most difficult to work out, then 3d print, check fit and make adjustments (done) After that 3d print all the parts to confirm (tomorrow) and finally have machined in aluminum (tbd)
The other unknown was how was the LED installed, the only way to find out was to remove it which would obviously void the warranty but after studying the elect schematic and looking at the parts drawings I convinced myself that it was no big deal and easy to fix if I screwed up the LED strip.?
So here are some progress pics... note, the 3d printed LED section is short due the the 3D printer bed not being long enough, a bolt hole is missing so it is not tight against the cast...
??
Below is the auto score feature in action with the as delivered LED section?

Re: Tannewitz Blade Guide choices
Did you try Woodworkerstoolworks?? I have Wright guides on my 217 and Y20 and like them a lot.? They do support the blades well although I have resawed without any guides.? Dave

The parts guy at Tannewitz expressed a strong preference for the old style blade guides.? He said the steel block style support the blade in two places and they contact
the width of the blade.? The bearing supports in one place and the bearing face is narrower.
?
The machine I bought has the Tannewitz for the upper guide and a Carter CP10 for the lower guide.

Subject: [FOG] Tannewitz Blade Guide choices
?
My Tannewitz came with their old style blade guides with steel wear strips.? Tannewitz now uses ball bearing type guides. I've emailed asking for pricing replacement wear strips and on new guides.? I did see one place selling replacement wear strips and the
set for upper and lower were like $700 !? To put things in perspective, the rear bearing on the original guides in 3" across. I found one new rear bearing assembly on ebay for like $70.? But I will need a second and all new wear strips.
I've been using Laguna ceramic guides for 20 years. I intend to primarily use the Tanny for resawing and plan to mount a resaw feeder to the table.
