Good evening,
I have a 2003 model CF731 combination machine. It looks as if urethane hungry animals have been eating the rim of the friction wheel of my Felder. Has anyone any experience of getting at - and replacing - the friction wheel on these machines? Presumably the process will involve splitting the jointer/thicknesser from the saw/spindle unit. Any 'how-to' advice or tips would be very much appreciated!
Many thanks,
Steve.

Jonathan,
The Andy Rae design is appealing.

??Joel,
You may already know this, Grizzly has the
template mounting option as well. Not sure if extrema
has that. Grizzly comes with rub collar for 1.25¡± arbor.
The clamping bar height is adjustable to
accommodate thicker material. It would be nicer to have
a longer stroke vs having to adjust it manually.
However, it results in a tidy package and unless your
material varies a lot may not need to make that
adjustment often. The manual however does not list the
max thickness of material, not that I could find.

I made 9 of these? from dried? PT spruce.? This was about 15
years ago.? They are still in shape just like the images. I?
scrape and paint them every five or so years.? The design? was?
from a chair I sat in in Rhode Island. I liked it and thought I
could do better.? And like a dummy? I didn't even take? a picture
of the? original.? But? I pulled this out of my ass? literally,
not so much a? a sketch.? to get seat height I placed? objects in
a pile and sat on them.? The chairs have a two position recline? (
no one has ever used the back position), ? the seat rolls? to make
you slump into the chair? and? of the dozens of people who have
used them, pretty much every one says the same thing "Once you are
in it you don't want to get out."?

Hey Johnathan,?
If you come to the COW meeting next week at my house you can check out mine. I have made them in Cedar and Redwood. I have templates you can use or copy.

Jonathan,
I forget where you are located but I do plan to build a outdoor bench out of honey locust. It cuts and machines like other hardwoods. Has cream (sap) to pink to brown coloration. If us relatively heavy. You cannot pound a nail in it, most nail bend unless the wood splits. It may be hard to find though unless you find a local sawyer.
I am happy with it¡¯s durability. Here is my compost bin about 18-19 yr old. Air dried HL no protection. Keep in mind that we fill it with leaves every year so wood is in contact with wet leaves and the bottom 1/4 is in contact with wet leaves or dirt all yr round.
I made my shop baseboards out of it. Here are pics of compost bin and baseboard.

Re: Shaper with CopeCrafter and outboard fence and pressure jaws to make panels
The grizzly max is 2 inch thick. ?I see it does come with a template and template holder and safety stop along with right and left guards that attach with cap screws.?I do not think I would have use for these features unless I am not appreciating the benefits.
In looking at it, this model has a lot more air hoses and associated components compared to the RM-11. I am not sure if any of that makes it easier to clamp and unclamp or provides some other advantage or not.
I was thinking of getting the RM-11, but if someone here has reason to believe the Grizzly is a superior product, I would be interested to know.

Sorry for slow reply. Felder sent a couple tech¡¯s out and replaced the arbor bearings. No vibration still has a slight noise but nothing you can hear with the blade on. The saw is 4 years old my error but Felder did the work under warranty. After watching them replace the bearings I would not be able to do as the nut that holds the arbor in needs a special tool that the tech had to make. The Felder guys are great guys to talk to. The tech¡¯s had knowledge that was very helpful and they have great personalities. I have only used the saw for about 20 minutes as now comes spring and summer. I don¡¯t have AC in my shop. ?Thanks Cliff for responding to my question. Doug
