Re: Overarm Guard Modification
I also leave mine unbolted. There's enough friction when it goes home that I don't worry about it moving on its own. A ball-detent or spring loaded pin and brass bushing would give you the postive stop you seem to be looking for. Or, you could go exotic like a big electromagnet, but the holding current might run up your utility bill.?

Felder dust collection vs cyclone
I just sold my old dust collector (Oneida 5HP supercell) for a preparation for my new slider (the supercell only support 1 - 5” port) and about to order a new unit (Oneida dust gorilla pro 5HP with VFD).
now I started to started to think maybe I should also consider the euro DC.
The gorilla pro costs ~$4500 so it is in the range of the RL140.
for people with the Felder DC, what do you think about it?
have you ever compared it to a cycle?
my big machinery:
Felder K700s with overhead dust?
Hammer N4400
Hammer HS950 - edge sander?
Hammer A3-31 (will be probably swapped with AD951 in near future)
Planning to add a shaper (F700z?)

Re: Overarm Guard Modification
I’m in the same camp as mark. Simple and easy enough to leave unbolted.?

Re: Overarm Guard Modification
I have not tried leaving it unconnected. It would work as dust collection, but I wondered how susceptible it would be to bumps and vibration.
I’ve also been looking at switchable magnets, like Magswitch. These are strong, but there is still the issue of switching them without walking around the saw. A regular magnet would work as a detent, releasing with just a tug on the arm. I probably have something laying around to experiment with.
Thanks for the ideas! ?

Re: Felder X-roll short crosscut fence. Initial setup
Steven,
I would purchse set today if they were available.
Were you able to get CAD file to have these Fabbed by FIXtiv?
Thanks Scott G

Thank you David. With the help from your “Survival Guide” the K700S is setup and working great! ?Now just need to transition from cabinet saw techniques to slider techniques.? Regards,

There was no such information included from Felder - no surprise, and I've been told it will take a month in my part of the country to have a tech come out and commission the unit.
Any information would be appreciated.

Re: Overarm Guard Modification
David,? The bolt with the Kip lever is M8x1.25, and it threads into the square HSS section of the overarm guard. The M8 bolt snugs the arm up against two cap screws. A carriage bolt provides vertical support.  -- John Hinman Boise ID K700S and A941

Re: Overarm Guard Modification
John, you can see my remote-release setup here: ?https://flic.kr/s/aHskt9MBRv
One my machine, the system that locks the overhead swivel-arm in place is a spring loaded detent actuator. ?From your photos, it appears that the Kipp lever in the photo actually threads into a tapped hole in the swivel arm? ?Or is that Kipp lever just pressing against the swivel-arm and it’s somehow locked/stopped on the opposite side? ?Please post a few additional photos that more-fully illustrate how this arm is unlocked to swivel forward. ?Also, what is the diameter of the Kipp lever threaded shaft - I’m guessing it’s just under 10mm?

Moving the overarm guard/dust hood out of the way requires walking around the saw and unscrewing a bolt. This is a nuisance if all that is needed is to get the guard out of the way to check a set-up.
I think some saws have a more convenient set-up. If I recall correctly David Best once described being able to pull a wire to release the arm, from the operator position.
Has anyone modified the bolt connection to make it a quick-release? Any good ideas?
The picture shows the bolt, with a Kip lever, on my saw.
