Hi Murray:

?

Sorry to drop the ball on this discussion. Thanks a lot for sharing your local knowledge on Sharp Panels and BGB. Darren Oates has a proven track record to producing commercial quantities of shop sawn materials. I have a lot of respect for him!

?

Regarding ¡°making your own¡±, that¡¯s exactly what I do when I have a high-end project that needs a certain look, or I¡¯m using a very special piece of timber. The case of this chest of drawers was solid Australian blackwood, but the client wanted master grade fiddleback Australian blackwood for the fronts. So I resawed a 50mm board into 4mm veneers and then made my own laminated drawer fronts by resawing lots of ¡°ordinary¡± blackwood, mixing up the grain, and then gluing together a 25mm drawer front consisting of many layers of blackwood with the special fronts. This allowed maximum quality and control on a stable drawer front in ¡°solid wood¡± but with the special show faces.

?

Anyway, I hope your day is turning out great!

Lucky

Warm regards,

Lucky

Subject: Re: [FOG] Sheet good recommendations

Lucky, thanks for the response. Regarding the Wood Review article I was just suggesting a standard magazine article. I know they have plenty of good topics, but the subject of built-in and library construction struck me is being really interesting and I don¡¯t believe they have done anything on this in the past.

Regarding plywood supplies, I¡¯ve just checked and it seems that Sharp Plywood have been reincarnated as Sharp Panels. I think they do custom veneer of plywood and they would be worth a look. Also, there is a guy called Steve at Nerang with a company called BGB plywood . he sells relatively inexpensive ¡°marine¡± plywood. I bought a bundle of a couple of years ago for non-critical work such as planter boxes, a pool pump cover and a tool cabinet I¡¯m planning on building. There are some pluses and minuses with this plywood. On the downside, although it is called Marine plywood I would never have it anywhere near a boat. it has a gaboon veneer on the outside. Many of the sheets that I bought, had a defect, consisting of faint, dark lines, running perpendicular to the grain. I was planning on, finishing many of them with a solid acrylic, so this didn¡¯t concern me, and I thought that just a few passes with the sandpaper would remove them. With every sheet of marine plywood I have ever used in the past the outer layer is not a wafer thin veneer, but an actual ply of reasonable thickness. With the BGB plywood, it is thin veneer, which you can sand straight through very easily.

On the plus side however, it seems to have very good thickness consistency and a very fair flat surface. Judging by the end grain, it doesn¡¯t have too many voids. It¡¯s a couple of years since I bought the bundle I have, it¡¯s been stored in a carport, partially exposed, and is showing no signs of any delamination warping, etc.

I had a significant victory recently with my first attempt at shop sawing wide veneers(thanks to Darren Oates). I am now planning on doing my own veneers for the aforementioned tool cabinet, and I think BGB plywood should be okay for this purpose. if you have some non-critical tasks coming up, it¡¯s probably worth buying a couple of sheets and doing your own assessment.

Re: CMT Orange 8" Locked Dado Pro Blade Set

 

Hammer machines have a maximum dado diameter of 180mm, larger than that and they can collide with the saw structure.

Alex, One more thing, if you speak with Felder ask for the connection diagram for the selector switch. It will put you in a better position to find a solution. Attached is for the 2 speed, 2 direction blade rise but one for your A14 will be similar.

Hi Alex,

In your machine, K&N selector switch does 2 functions. One is the control side and the other is power to the motor. It appears that the control side is working (indicated by the correct motor being started) but the power side apparently not. I assume that the motor is not getting full voltage. This can be a dirty connection or worse but it could also be that the control side is dropping in/out. In the later case you would have heard the chatter, so the issue me be the former. It may be worthwhile blowing some air and tapping the switch to dislodge any dust build up.

There is a thread here, from few yrs ago, where Felder supplied a different K&N selector switch with some jumpers to make it work the same as original, so that may be an option.

These switches are modular in design. Another used switch can be used to scavenge parts. I assume it is cam type. The option for each stage is to make connections in T, L or I orientations. Let¡¯s hope cleaning works or Felder comes thru (they are still using this type of switch) otherwise it would be bit of a project.

Hi Alex,

Correct, this schematic is for 2KW but for one w/o brake function. If the motors are starting up and running normally then capacitors are good.

My schematic has a date (bottom left) 15.09.1994. I cannot read the date on your schematic but I assume it is older because your machine does not show the low voltage transformer. So all switches are 220VAC vs ~24VAC in newer machines including the schematic I have dated 1994.

If you machine has/had braking function then the schematic is not correct. I was fine for capacitors purpose. You should request a sch for your machine with brake function.

If you do not have the machine book with wiring diagram info as shown above, I suggest you contact Felder and get a copy. They may be able to guide you as well as to the location of the relays.

The pics you shared are not very sharp. Appears there is at least one more relay by the selector switch. Still it would be difficult to guide you because I do not know where these are located and for that matter if my schematic matches your machine in the first place.

Once you have the wiring diagram and you poke around a bit more to try to locate components, I can try to help.

Re: CMT Orange 8" Locked Dado Pro Blade Set

 

David,

I agree with you almost 100%.?

PantoRouter has served me well. I think the rise of PantoRouter killed Leigh FMT, that is probably why Leigh Tool was sold to Lee Valley last August, the build quality of Leigh jigs are of high quality, but the design is not so much, not easy to use at least. I see no continuous improvement to address some critical issues over the years.?

PantoRouter's design is extremely versatile and they continuously come up with new accessories to improve the use of PantoRouter, a truly wonderful tool for the chair maker, Michael Fortune is one fan of the PantoRouter.

I have to agree with you regarding the build quality of the PantoRouter, there are flexes. Certainly the Multi-Router is built like a tank, and can take the abuse. I think PantoRouter's team knows the shortcoming of the tool.

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.

? No Worries Alex. Is your machine ~5KW? If so, I see Y-D start which adds more relays; K4 is one of them. There is no K4 in the first schematic I shared which was for a 2KW machine.

Do you have the big book of your machine? The schematics and other important info is in there. Here are couple of shots to show you what is in the book that I have.

If you do not have the machine book with wiring diagram info as shown above, I suggest you contact Felder and get a copy. They may be able to guide you as well as to the location of the relays.

The pics you shared are not very sharp. Appears there is at least one more relay by the selector switch. Still it would be difficult to guide you because I do not know where these are located and for that matter if my schematic matches your machine in the first place.

Once you have the wiring diagram and you poke around a bit more to try to locate components, I can try to help.

? Hi Imran,?
Sorry for the late response, just found your message in my junk ! Thanks for the wiring diagram , most useful as I seem to have misplaced mine. Looking on the circuit board, I could only find K1 and K4 and the other connecting block visible from the top where the capacitors feed into. There is nothing on the circuit board where the K2 and K3 markings are. Do you know if the circuit board is serviceable or do I replace the whole unit ??
Thanks?
Alex

? Hi Alex,

Yes, a wiring diagram. Sharing what I have but you should have a copy of yours. Now a days, it is placed in a pouch on the inside face of the electrical cabinet cover but not sure what they did back then.

?Hello Imran,
thanks for your kind response. ?I¡¯ll have a look for those components you mention tomorrow. I¡¯m not an electrician, although my brother is and if I can make it easier for him, all the better. I¡¯m guessing a schematic is a wiring diagram ?
Many thanks?
Alex
