Re: Japanese Pull Saw Recommendation
Imran,
For flush cutting a dowel, buy a flexible flush cut saw. Many available for about $25. Place an old plastic hotel keycard under the saw to avoid scratching the project, then use a sharp block plane to finish the cut.
For dovetails, buy a pull saw with a rigid back (Dozuki). Many good ones available for mid $50, and blades are replaceable. Marc Adams teaches dovetails with this type of saw.?
I own the Lee Valley products, have used them in several classes, and many projects at home. Very satisfactory.
There are also excellent tools for teaching small children to saw.

I am looking into buying Japanese pull saws. Saw this set at Lee Valley
Woodcraft and Rockler also sell them and many more options online. I do not expect to make large or wide cuts as those are more likely to get done on a machine. So a good example would be tenons where both xcut and rip cuts are needed. Be good if I can also use one for flush cutting a dowell. If I can do dovetails with one that is a plus but right now not looking for one specific for dovetails.
I am also looking for an economical choice. Hopefully your experience can narrow down the unlimited options I am seeing.
Thanks,
Imran?

Re: Japanese Pull Saw Recommendation
?I have the dozuki which I use for hand cutting dovetails and for flush cutting dowels.? It is less efficient than my Lie-Nielsen tapered dovetail saw, but is easier for me to use, especially when I haven't been practicing.? ?I'd recommend.

Re: Japanese Pull Saw Recommendation
I’ve had this unit from Sharksaw for years, very flexible and the fine side can be used for flush cutting, the coarse side has a bit of set to the teeth, so it will scratch up a flat surface if you get too close.??Mine is an older version that has a push button to release the blade, which is handy for storing it or taking it to a job site. They make a lot of other variations as well.

Hi all,
I am a new member to the group. I have a Hammer K3 that was delivered with a dual scale on the outrigger crosscut fence and a metric scale on the fixed table's rip fence. I would like to replace the metric scale with an imperial version (or a metric/imperial) but am having trouble finding one that will fit the extrusion's slot. The extrusion on the Hammer is 19mm (3/4"), I have searched the group's topics and I see that some have replaced their scales with a scale purchased from MSC. I may be that they were retrofitting a Felder product that possibly has a different width slot for the scale. I can find an SPI scale that is dual units and is 3/4" wide but it appears one side is imperial and the other is metric. If all else fails I can use this but I would prefer to have the dual units on the same side. Before I purchase the SPI, does anyone have a source for what I am looking for.
Thanks,

Hi Cliff:
Felder is a company name, like Ford or DeWalt. Unfortunately, “Felder” is also used as one of their machine “lines”:
“Hammer" (their hobby line) “Felder” (their industrial line) “Format-4” (their commercial and heaviest line).
So I think of Felder as the umbrella term, or marquee, but also keep in mind that “Felder” also refers to that middle line.
Then within those lines there are machine designations, and “Kappa” and “Profil” are two examples of that. Thus, “Kappa 400” is a specific machine (sliding table saw) which is part of the “Format-4” line, which is made by the “Felder" company.
I hope this helps.
Warm regards,
David

Haven’t done that replacement on a Felder but did on a DeWalt DW735 planer. Best tool upgrade ever, wish I’d done it sooner! I’m happy with the planer and it was working fine but I’d grown tired of replacing blades. I’d heard good things about Byrd helical blades so I took the plunge. It took more or less a full day to make the switch and got me deeper into the guts of a machine than I’d ever been. That was a little scary but the instructions were good and I got it done without any problems. The machine was immediately significantly quieter, to the point that I wondered if I’d made an installation mistake, I hadn’t. The cuts were instantly much better than with the original knives. I did it about two years ago and haven’t had to rotate the teeth to a fresh cutting surface yet. Since each tooth has four cutting surfaces, I’m guessing I’ll never have to replace them. Do it, you’ll be happy you did. Despite that success an AD741 is on my list primarily because my jointer needs an upgrade and it would be nice to have the wider planer. If I could only find a good used one I’d be a happy guy.?

Are you sure:
Price for a fat 300 equivalent on Ruwi web site seems to be 1,500 Euro + Tax + Shipping. Looks like the same price as what is quoted on the us felder shop website with the top at $400 ($2,000 total) if you get it from any of their warehouses in the US. Shipping From Germany to any east ports in the USA is not cheap.

Hello Felder users....
I have an older, about 14 years old, AD 741.? It has the straight blades and the powerdrive and is currently working fine.
I am considering getting a Byrd-Shelix spiral cutter head for it.
I would like to speak with anyone who has done this conversion.
IF you have done this, would you PLEASE contact me?
I can be reached by phone or text at 707-591-6840
Thanks much

Re: Digi compensation for droll outrigger
Really? I haven’t heard about that the 1/100 degree. Maybe my iPhone’s Siri was on and Felder tapped in and heard me bit#4ing about the 1/10 degree capability not being good enough?! LOL

Hey Lucky,?
The latest spec for the X-roll outrigger now to 1/100 of a degree! I'm back to considering the K940 again because I might be able to get the X-Roll outrigger (long story! outlined in my DM to you).
Cheers

Re: Finger Pulls on Drawer fronts
I am not totally sure I understand the question.? Without letting that stop me, I can say I recently got decent results by shaping shortgrain strips into curved pulls with a tenon for attachment to the cabinet. Photos attached.??
I made blanks in pairs, routed the tenons with a straight bit on the router table, routed the concave curve with a large bull nose bit (two overlapping passes) and shaped the convex curve with spoke shave, plane, rasp and sand paper.? Deciding when to make which router pass and when to separate the halves is important.

Almost for sure Bob means Eucalyptus which has so many species (wikipedia says 700 species!) it could be blue gum or red or who knows what as it is mostly native to Australia (with Gidday that is a hint).? Twisting a big issue, but my understanding
is that is more species specific but hard and I'll take his word splintery.? There have been attempts at making flooring with it (maybe in CA where I live) under trade names like Blue something with no hint it's actually eucalyptus.? Fast growing and drops
stuff (essentially poisonous to other plants) around tree so nothing else grows and devastating in fires as the oils ignite into nice hot fire. ?
?
I am not familiar with Ecalypt.? When I have a cut like that in wood that burns easily I
do two things.
-
Buy a new bit from a quality brand
-
Make shallow cuts so the router does not have to slow down at all.

Gidday
Have a client from hell, fussy, AKA my daughter and partner
The want solid timber vanities 2x, made from recycled eucalypt ( hard and spllntery)
It will be oiled, I would like to keep burning to a minimum. The long section of the cut is in side grain, the returns in endgrain
Either hand router or Router insert in Felder KF
Seems to be only two bits- Ogee or a Finger Pull bit like the CMT one
Any comments on how to approach it?
Or should I find another daughter?
