Jake,
You may wish, if you have not already done so, to look at the used equipment portion of the Felder USA e-shop web site.

The 30mm version even comes with a metric version of the shim-spacing guide. ?Such joy. ??Hallelujah.

?James,
I found this couple of yrs ago at Scott and Seargent when I was selling my CMT dado. My version (run of the mill dado) had been discontinued and replaced with this version. I don¡¯t recall a price of $120 though. That is quite a deal.
The CMT dado I had, worked well and left a flat bottom but I could see few lines left by the individual blades. However, I could not feel any ridges. I posted some pics here.
Imran Malik ? I got the product email from Taylor Toolswork at 1PM today, but did not check it until now.?
Looks like it is a great alternative to get the dado capability on the slider. Basically, it can cut dado between 6mm to 20mm. It covers the range of Felder two dado cutters. It is only $120, already sold out.
Of course, you need to have the 30 mm arbor and 2 pin holes bored.

Re: CMT Orange 8" Locked Dado Pro Blade Set
I bought a 30mm CMT Dado set, set it up on a Bridgeport using a close fitting arbour and drilled both holes. The result even though we took as much cares as possible was terrible with the bottom of the dado being hills and valleys. I took it to my saw sharpener and he set it up again, ground down the blade & chipper diameter, resharpened the blades and chippers and it is now cuts with a perfectly flat bottom.?

Re: CMT Orange 8" Locked Dado Pro Blade Set
If the machine doesn¡¯t have the dado option, which was pretty rare prior to the X-roll, then it¡¯s not going to work.

Re: Felder K 700 S considering
What are some better sites to look for used Felders?

Re: Felder K 700 S comsidering.
I would second Bob¡¯s advice about considering a used saw. I don¡¯t want to offend anyone but what I¡¯ve seen is that there are quite a few hobbyist woodworkers who buy after retirement and then 10 - 20 years down the road find they aren¡¯t spending as much time in the shop and sell lightly used, beloved and well-cared for equipment.
That said, I did not follow my own advice and bought new : )?

Why not go with a used saw? I stepped up from an Oliver 270 to an older k700s and after a couple of years with it I now know if I bought a new saw what I'd really value. Hello,
This is my first post and joined yesterday.? I¡¯ve been seriously considering purchasing a new K 700 S.? I am a firefighter in Michigan and soon will be retiring.? I am a hobbies woodworker now but hope to supplement my pension with a small amount from woodworking.? I currently have a saw stop.? I¡¯ve spoken to Altendorf as well but that machine is literally double the price of the K700S.? I was wondering if I should, first off, pull the trigger and buy a slider and also, is the Altendorf (WA 80) THAT much better than the Felder? ? I appreciate this site as I have found lots of great information in my research.? Thank you in advance.?

Re: 40 mm rebate spindle cutter flush mount - Australia
Yes, good point Greg.? Those little 40mm "three hole" knives are mass produced, economy grade knives made from poor quality steel and the grinding is hit or miss.? They are ok, but Whitehill uses industry standard HSS with runs in the thousands of linear feet.

Re: Interesting Feeder for Smaller Saws and Router Table
Hi Bram, I have a Hammer B3 with an HC 308 feeder which is similar to the C3.
The feeder you provided a link too has a couple of show stoppers in my opinion
1) it uses an electromagnet to clamp it to the table, that means you wouldn¡¯t be able to use it with the shaper, as it would have to mount on the sliding table.
2) the shaper often requires the feeder to be tilted on the side so it can push against the fence, I don¡¯t see how the other feeder could do that
3) feeders like the HC 32 can exert significant pressure on the workpiece to control the work with the shaper, even during synchronized (climb) cutting operations

Re: Lamello Cantex for sale $2000
Thank you James. Looks like a good setup

Re: Lamello Cantex for sale $2000
Wade,
It is the router base designed by Scott Grove. You can find lots of videos on youtube.
James
James,
Is that a Festool base or an aftermarket?
Thx,
Wade ? JB,
If you do a lot of wide solid wood edge banding, Lamello Cantex is the #1 solution.
I use OF1400 with Freud 1-1/4" diameter 1/2" shank dish carving router bit on the ultimate router base to trim wide solid wood edge banding. It works very well because the router rests on the stock, but the downside is no dust collection, it is a mess.
Here below 20mm wide hard maple edging, I removed around 2.5 - 3 mm thick material in one pass, perfect result.
 James I have both the Festool MFK setup and the OF1010 w/ an edging plate. I use them quite a bit.
I find the MFK works really well for thin edge banding, but not much else.
The OF1010 w/ the edging plate does work for wider solid wood edging, but it is difficult to use. Aside from being awkward, w/ can result in an uneven cut, I get tear out. I am using a fancy spiral compression bit, but onerous woods like Doug Fir present quite a challenge. Just yesterday I had to saw off the edging and start over.
