Re: Tersa Replacement Blades
Thanks all for your feedback. I placed order on Friday with
and received them on Monday. That is awesome delivery time considering they are in Canada. Knives were well packaged. They followed up today via email to check if I was satisfied. I have not tried the knives yet but extremely satisfied with this outfit.

Hmmmm, this has me concerned I ordered a k700s for delivery this summer and considered the onsite calibration but sales guy said these come in dialed in for the most part.? Reading through this thread I am reconsidering cost for onsite was $1,400. I am new to sliders, expectations are high I don't want that to go from excited to totally disappointed in a few hours. The forums thoughts for onsite calibration as part of delivery?

If you get time can you share the part of instructions that explain transferring location from door to jamb? I did not get any instructions with my used kwikset, so maybe I have this feature but not aware of it. No hurries.

I am glad Michael started this thread. With Chris¡¯s link I learned what to look for. Lo and behold, I have a center marking widget in my kwikset kit. It is black so it kindof disappeared in the black plastic molded insert until I yanked on it. Got a shiny silver tip. Probably never been used.
Thanks guys.

I have a Martin T45 with 2 x rubber outfeed rollers and a segmented indeed roller.??
The 2 x outfeed rollers are amazing.? I would order it this way again for sure.?? Segmented roller isn't mandatory .. I see the benefits of it at times but the rubber outeed rollers is the way to go.??

Thanks once again for all of the information guys!
David - your message was exactly what I was looking for!? I was thinking along the exact same lines, but wanted to hear it from someone with some experience.? It sounds like the stop button on the slider is not all that critical in the function of the saw.? I will tell Felder that I either want them to send a new sliding table assembly or give me some type of credit for the issue.? My gut feeling (which you confirmed) is that I do not want any technician doing field work on the sliding table rail assemblies.??
Imran - I really appreciate your willingness and interest in helping, but I agree with Mark and David that troubleshooting the problem myself is unlikely to get me anywhere.? The Felder tech spent a couple of hours with a multimeter trying to trouble shoot and didn't get anywhere.? His final analysis was that there was a short somewhere between the switch and the electrical panel.? ?

Re: Boring techniques and jigs for passage doors
+1 on the Templaco boring jig. ?
I install a fair number of doors, and it's really nice to just roll up, make one mark, clamp, bore, remove assembly, install handle, route for the plates using the supplied templates, and get on with my life.?
The advantage of the Templaco kit is that, in addition to the cast iron drilling template and carbide-tipped drill bits, it also includes routing templates for the handle, dead bolt, strike, and a marking point for transferring locations from the door to the jamb. Once you've marked the handle location, the rest is more or less "automated". Yes, it's $500, but in my opinion you get a lot of kit for that price.?
That being said, if you're performing the work as a hobby, then yes marking each location has worked well for generations, it's just much slower.?

Re: Router Spindle Compatibility with 240 Hood
I modified my 240 hood so I could get to the center line with the Aigner plates. Before the mod I would use the Felder fence plates with the router.

When I mount the hood in the rear set of holes, the fence plates actually sits behind the centerline of the spindle. I thought a modification to the micro adjust was required for this. So is it possible that all KF700 are not same? I know that Aigner fence plates are thicker and from posts definitely sit proud of the spindle center line but I am pretty sure I read here that even felder stock fence plates were also an issue. It would be good to clarify this for people considering to buy a KF or ones with KF and considering to buy a router spindle. Imran

Re: Felder 500-03-019 dado blade how to use
I just talked to Felder. $83.00 for new ones. Does anyone know of any cheaper ones. In my defense I did not get any instructions that showed the shims. But 3 years is a long time. I¡¯m more of a tool collector. Lol My K3 has maybe 8 hours on it. Can¡¯t find things I want to build, so I thought maybe some boxes with box joints. I have the incra box joint set I never used as It will fit in the slider so I guess I will try to make 8mm joints. Thanks for your help.

Re: Felder 500-03-019 dado blade how to use
In case of K975 there is a shim set that I believe comes with saw. I bought it used so I am not certain but I only got a 3mm shim with the saw. The full set consists of, 1 each of 3, 6, 9 mm. These are used to make up free space on the arbor. Then there are shims that allow you to set the kerf width.
Not sure if all Felder saws are built this way or not.
