Any experience with GDP Tooling?
I'm currently working on dialing-in some details on a project using Tectus hinges, and am seeing the option to use router bits from GDP Tooling, and was wondering if users here had any input/feedback?

Re: Overarm saw (crown) guard
John, I would assume Felder made some improvements. The tension must be adjustable. Remove 4 machine screws, so you can see how the guard is held in place. James

Re: Overarm saw (crown) guard
If the overhead guard pivot-latch mechanism is anything like my Kappa 400, it¡¯s pretty simple to add a release mechanism at the slider-side of the machine. Have a look at this mod: Kappa 400 Upgrade

Re: Overarm saw (crown) guard
Interesting. The video on the Harvey web page shows the guy pushing the guard ¡°away¡± from his operator position instead of pulling it towards him. -Aaron Sent: Thursday, March 9, 2023 9:07 AM To:

Re: Saw controls on slider
The Felder level table saws (K500, K700, etc) all use low voltage wire that is ultimately connected to the saw chassis (i.e. ground).? The following thread explains a bit on how it's done:
