Happy to share the DXF if anyone wants it. Forgot to note that I used standard wood 1/4-20" inserts for the handle screws. On Fri, Mar 11, 2022 at 10:47 AM, David Davies wrote:

Re: #Adding Wireless Switches to the X-Roll Slider

Nice write up.
This work makes me hopeful that I can tap into the control signals for my Power Drive to manage both height and tilt and their digital readouts remotely. Probably some digital interpretation that needs to be done, but again, hopeful since.? |

Re: Eagerly awaiting info on the new Felder FW 850...
Chris Peterson from Comprehensive repair was here working on my SCM Sandya 5 yesterday. It's been remarkably trouble free for the 5+ years I've owned it. He dressed my conveyor belt to expose new grippier rubber, replaced felt and graphite on the platen and made some minor adjustments. Before he left we put on a 180 grit belt and ran a piece of walnut veneer on MDF sheet stock through it. It leaves great finish and didn't burn through anywhere. I'm a happy camper.
Chris says he thinks the best sander out there and the one he likes working on the most is a Viet. Biesse reps them here in the states. He is not at all shy about giving you a list of machines to avoid. My old sander was a Ramco, and he'd be swearing the second he walked in the door. Jason Jason Holtz J.

#Adding Wireless Switches to the X-Roll Slider

Finally did a writeup on how I added the wireless switches in the slider. Don¡¯t crucify me on the wire color, used what I had. |

Re: Fritz and Fran jigs
I would agree, the original intent was always the ability to quickly hold workpieces, allowing for a safer cut.?
I think F&F, particularly on this forum, has been added onto and improved in many cases to a point where the original features above have been lost or no longer easily deployed...It's OK to call that out :) |

Re: Fritz and Fran jigs
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýEdited - first version the photos were stripped out. I agree with Mark. ?There seems to be some confusion about the original and primary benefit of the Fritz & Franz - that being the ability to pinch or trap-squeeze small parts between the Fritz and the Franz units to hold material in position during a cutting operation. ?This is particularly helpful for save holding and cutting of tiny pieces, or long and skinny pieces that are too thin or small to get a clamp onto. Here are a couple of examples that inspired the original F&F. With the addition of flip stops and some kind of measurement system, you can also get achieve accurate final dimensions, like this example. You can also use a F&F with flip stops as a two-point parallel fence setup for straight-line or tapered ripping situations, such as this example posted by our very own Jason Holtz on Instagram a couple of days ago. The disadvantage of using a F&F as a two-point parallel fence is that the material being cut has to fit between the Fritz & Franz elements, rather than being able straddle the two stops as shown in the following example. ?This type of setup is more advantageous when the length of the materials being cut to the same with vary in length and more rigid clamping is necessary to secure larger pieces. ?For instance, I would not want to use a F&F as a two-point parallel fence with processing panels for cabinet builds. I admire with Derek has come up with - very nice work. ?In some respects it reminds me of a shop-built equivalent to the Martin MultiFunction outrigger table which is documented here: ? ? But like Mark, I don¡¯t see how this substitutes for the original F&F benefit of being able to safely hold small parts during a cutting operation. ?Maybe I¡¯m missing something. David Best
