Re: N4400 Misaligned Upper guide mechanism
#Bandsaw
Felder FB510 bandsaw has the same design flaw. I do not over tighten the locking knob, otherwise, it will deflect the upper ceramic guide. It is really a stupid design. I do not understand how Felder

Re: Alternative to Infinity Tools in USA
That Leitz head looks like what the Brits call a "cone head" designed to allow for deeper cuts without having to use really thick steel to reach out so far.? The body of the block itself supports the

@David Thank you David. As a relatively new woodworker, when I encounter something like this I start to doubt my own sanity...? :-( Also, thank-you very much for your slider calibration video, you

Re: N4400 Misaligned Upper guide mechanism

This is a design flaw with the N4400. I¡¯ve pointed it out to Felder several times, and posted about it here a few times over the past decade. There is no easy fix due to inaccessibility. The locking

Re: Bowed cut on a new K3 Winner 2m
Agree with Brian, the first thing you should do when you get a new machine is validate that it is properly calibrated.? A slider has a lot more going on than at typical cabinet saw.? The more

Re: Alternative to Infinity Tools in USA
I hear lots of good things about HotKnives. Joe, the slots in those Leitz heads look like they would be very accurate for radial positioning, is there a stop or reference somewhere for axial

Joel, Hot knives is good. They will also make knives for the Euro 3 hole cutters out of better steel. For Corrugated and W&H I have been using Neil at MT tooling. He is good and really sends out

Re: Bowed cut on a new K3 Winner 2m
If it¡¯s not running straight, then it would be Felder¡¯s responsibility to fix it. I don¡¯t honestly think that I¡¯ve ever seen a slider (that wasn¡¯t damaged) that didn¡¯t cut straight with

Re: Bowed cut on a new K3 Winner 2m
So you clamped the mdf to the slider. And the offcut is bowed, or is it tapered. Being tapered would make some sense since the slide table is supposed to toe out. But you said bowed and that is

Re: Bowed cut on a new K3 Winner 2m
I am not sure how you cut this, was it clamped in place? I¡¯ve seen a splitter that¡¯s not centered end up pushing the material around as the cut is performed and you end up with a wavy cut. I would

Exactly. I disassembled the thing this morning- it looks like a very simple mechanism, there is a bottom guide for the geared shaft, and at the top end, a small plate with an oversize hole; the clamp
