Re: Flip stops for F&F jig
I hate to say some of you might be overthinking the F&F jig?. Mine is basic, made with Baltic Birch ply and some rockler track I had laying around. Simple stops made from aluminum angle. I like David like sighting down an edge rather than a cursor. Has a replaceable hardwood edge for blade registration. A couple hours to make tops. Just make it and get to work.

Re: k700s advice needed
开云体育Mark, would your machine accept those ?” diameter feet without drilling out the mounting holes? ? Every Felder I’ve seen has 11mm holes. ?David Best - Sent from my iPad On Feb 9, 2022, at 4:37 AM, Mark Kessler <mkessler10@...> wrote:

Re: k700s advice needed
BTW, the ones you list here with the 1/2 stud wouldn't have fit in my saw, but next time I'd just drill the foot out and use these. Best time to have done that would have been when the saw was up in the air with the crane from moving it in... live and learn! On Wed, Feb 9, 2022 at 4:37 AM Mark Kessler <mkessler10@...> wrote:

I have used those on other machines and I liked them more as well. Will be my goto feet in the future.? On Wed, Feb 9, 2022 at 4:37 AM Mark Kessler <mkessler10@...> wrote:

Re: Planer startup problems CF731
开云体育Chris, My guess is that you need to replace the caps. The problem will show first on the heaviest load to start and that is the planner head. Yes, caps are common to all motors. Imran On Feb 9, 2022, at 8:10 AM, Chris Twigger via groups.io <christwigger@...> wrote:

Re: k700s advice needed
开云体育If you keep having issue these are the ones I originally recommended, much larger foot print, the pad won’t come off and I noticed a reduction in vibration/resonance? Regards, Mark On Feb 9, 2022, at 1:32 AM, Bob Wise <bob@...> wrote:

Re: Automatic blast gate issue

Hi Wade,
?
I am not familiar with GrnGate but I would be very surprised if they don’t have the adjustment for current. Read their guide and most likely you have an adjustment so the gates only operate when you have the large current - I have a slow internet connection and I saw the pics after replying. I cannot see the other side of the pickup. So not sure if it has an adjustment screw. It is possible that such adjustment is done at the control board as opposed to at pickup coil.
?
The other possible option that might work would be to move the pickup coil to the phase (assuming 3 phase) that only goes to the main motors. This is usually the case with Felder that they use two phases for internal voltages and the 3rd for motor only. I see your pictures and this option would require you to either move the pickup coil to inside the machine (requires Felder permission) or would require the cable to go thru an appropriate enclosure where you can only place only 1 wire in the coil. Definitely, this approach needs to be confirmed with the manufacturer or a user here due to logistics involved.
?

Re: k700s advice needed
Just a quick update here. I got the feet as recommended. They are a good choice, with one issue... I had problems with the pads slipping off. I ripped them off and did a bit of lathe work with the ever useful hockey?pucks. On Tue, Jan 18, 2022 at 4:04 PM PK <pk@...> wrote: Bob, |
