Retro spiral cutter head?
Did I imagine it, or did someone post a good while ago, that they successfully retro fitted a spiral cutter head into a Hammer planner.
I have a noise problem with my C3- 31 and I don't really want to change it for separates.
Thanks guys.

Hi Terry,?
?
I happen to be carrying out a calibration on my dual 51. I had not noticed the change in tone on the elevation motor before but I certainly hear it. It sounds like something turning on and winding up. Does not sound like a fan unless it is very high RPM.
?
But here is the thing. Since I know about when it comes on, if I stop the table movement before the sound, and then elevate in increments, the sound does not come on. So for me it is from motor but no vibration and no loud bang, just a change in noise that stays consistent.
?
Not sure if a new machine does the same or not and whether it is the same as yours. Also noted that it only does that on elevation, presumably due to high load; but not when table is lowered. If it is a cooling mechanism, it may always be on in warm weather and not as noticeable. Just a data point and guesses. Maybe other Dual 51 owners can help.6
?
Here is the audio from my machine from going from the bottom to the top. In this audio, the tone change starts at ~12 sec point and then again (after I stop and start) at 27.5 sec mark.
?

Re: Should rip fence be square to crosscut fence as well as blade? K975
I believe what you are seeing is the difference is toe-out of the slider versus the rip fence. ?When properly aligned the slider angles away from the saw blade as it moves forward, whereas the rip fence angles away to the right of the saw blade. ?This is to ensure that the back of the saw blade does not re-cut the material going past and create chip-out or kick-back. Therefor, if you cut material square using the crosscut fence and sliding table, then push the newly created end of the material against the rip fence, it will have a gap just as you describe.
You can set up your rip fence such then when the fence extrusion is retracted back and away from the saw blade, the toe-out is defeated yielding a rip fence that is truly parallel to the saw blade, or aligned with the end of the just- cut material from the crosscut fence. ?I have fully described how to do this in a document on. ?The link to that document is as follows:

Re: Should rip fence be square to crosscut fence as well as blade? K975
James you just described my first day operating a slider. It's a feature, not a bug! Has also been discussed multitudes if you search the database....basics:
1. Yes, the bump stop is accurate if you use the same index point repeatedly. On our saw, we designate the very front lip edge of the cast iron as the bump stop point and have the analog rulers and DRO calibrated to that same matching point-in-plane on the right side of the blade.
1A. The rip fence should?not need to be pulled backwards to clear the cuts from binding. If you do, you will move front edge of the fence more narrow so the longer your pieces applied to the to bump-stop, the more your length is in error as it will contact the front edge of the rip fence rather than the desired bump stop point - this is explained in #2, below:
2. The saw is set up to have clean cuts left of the blade using the slider, with saw toe-out calibrated for that operation, and also when using rip fence to right of saw. Obviously the two are conflicting references, so the answer is that the rip fence and slider travel end up slightly off-square from each other. Close enough, however,? to fool a beginner user into thinking they should be square to each other when they are not. An exaggerated?conceptualization a saw blade running?vertical, bisecting the letter "V" formed by legs of the sliding carriage and the rip fence , but the bisection is only 0.002-0.003" out of square each side as the toe-out of the blade for each operation?on each side.
3. If you haven't properly calibrated your saw for measures and alignments, this is a step that should never be skipped, and will contribute to erroneous results in addition to #1 and #2. On Tue, Feb 13, 2024 at 3:19?PM James Heathcock via <james.heathcock= [email protected]> wrote:

? Hi Steve,
I assume you are asking for the 45 deg as the blade can be raised for 90 deg kerf. I was cutting a scarf joint on 9’ long walnut boards that were 1’ wide. One piece had to be cut upside down and I was concerned with tearout. I just cut it and it turned out fine.??So I probably won’t not dealt with it until I need it next time.
I assume this is easy when making on CNC unless one is looking for the exact kerf width for zero clearance.
I don’t really need zero clearance, just don’t like small slivers falling below table.

Hello Everyone,
I thought?I would circle back and just let everyone know that?I did fix this issue. I spoke to a gentleman at Felder who was tremendously?helpful. Turns out it was a combo of things: Cast iron top for table saw needed to be moved forward (Dead blow hammer and a block of wood after loosening the leveling bolts), and the pin of the hinge joint on the outfeed table of the jointer needed some coaxing (wedge, hammer again). It could have also been that the two machines (which are bolted together) were out of alignment but that was not the case. My fence now slides smoothly from one end to the other on my CF 741 S Professional. Thank you again for everyone who contributed.?
Regards,
Peter T.?

?What vintage machine is this? They changed table elevation and positioning mechanisms over the years. The hinge points of the outfeed table will need to be loosened and shove the table back to line up with the front edge of the F channel of the saw table. You also need to know if the outfeed table is at the right height to the saw table. Older machines with parallelogram linkages can shift the table forward and back quite a lot as the table goes up and down. The newer machines are on ways and the outfeed doesn’t travel much back and forth as it goes up and down.
Pictures of the jointer side of the machine will help figure this out.
Hello,
Everyone I posted about this a while ago but still no success. I have a CF 741 where the fence will not slide between the table saw and the jointer. Felder tech thought it was the two machines, j/p and table saw had slipped during transport. However, the bolts that hold the machines together and the holes in the metal frames do not allow for almost any lateral movement. And certainly?not the gap I am experiencing. No amount?of moving the outfeed table on the jointer up or down would make up this gap either. Does the outfeed table have the ability to be pulled backwards to fix this issue? If yes, what should the gap be between infeed and outfeed tables? This has me pulling my hair out and cannot figure out what?to do. Any help?would be appreciated! Attached are the pictures showing the issue.?

Re: Help needed with shaper setup
David,
interesting stuff..
1- It’s not clear to me why the rails or stiles might be too narrow for my standard-sized feeder wheels. Could you please explain that?
It depends on the height of your back-fence. ?If you make a back fence from plywood that is thinner than the material you are feeding, you won’t need narrow tires. ? Watch these two videos that clarify my comment based on use of the Aigner Thickness Stop as a back fence: ?
2 - I didn’t know that narrow wheels were an option for my power feeder.. I have a kitchen build coming up soon, and I suspect that once I read the answer to #1, I’m going to want to get a set, so…
3 - where can I buy a set of narrow wheels?
Call Western Roller - tell them what feeder you have and they can recommend narrow wheels for it. ?

Re: Help needed with shaper setup
Here is a drawing I use in the Alpine courses to explain the split fence and faults.
Outside fence is usually better for cabinet parts if workpieces are short. But do not use an outside fence without a feeder. With no feeder split fence is better.
Changing out wheels to narrow is not necessary unless your outside fence is same height or higher than the workpiece. I use thin fences when doing this just to avoid the hassle of changing wheels.

Re: Help needed with shaper setup
Hi David:
?
Wow, I was not aware of Steve Rowe’s video on making a back-fence. Really clearly outlines the principles and I’m already sharing this video with friends who wish they had bought the Thickness Stop when it
was available. Thanks for sharing the link.
?
(And well done Steve!)

It appears that I'll have to do different setups for copes and then change everything and set back up for the profiles. That's hardly convenient. Am I missing something?
Pictures: the joint is now flat, but the tenon is still ever so slightly short. I might need to back the fence up slightly.?
Without using a back fence (which I don't have), I'm concerned about changing the width of my stock. Also, it looks like I should get the 240V supply hooked up so I can use this F38 power feeder. I really wish it was 120V.
?
You should be able to offset your outfeed fence to properly support the more-narrow profiled section coming off the cutter. ?By staggering the fence offsets you can ensure the full profile is cut and still
get the support of the material against the fence on both sides of the cutter. ?Of course you’ll have to take this into consideration during stock prep by making the material slightly wider to accommodate. ?I always leave the styles slightly over-width and
then trim the outside edge of the door to fit after glue-up, rather than trying to build it to 0.5mm tolerances. ?I also leave the styles over-length and trim top and bottom of the door after glue-up. ?If the widths of the door styles and rails vary by a mm
or two, you’re not likely to see that on something like a kitchen cab or vanity. ?But that’s just me - lots of ways to skin this cat. ?If you want to dialog about workflows, DM me - I have a number of videos that go into this topic.
Personally, I would not run the inside profile without a power feeder - too dangerous. ?You may also discover that the standard feeder wheels are too wide to run cabinet door styles and rails. ?For this application
I use narrow wheels on the feeder. ?
You can easily make your own back-fence from a sheet of plywood secured to the locked sliding table. ?Fellow FOG member Steve Rowe has a nice video about this you can see here: ?.
Note that you can also secure the back-fence to the sliding table T-slots using a couple bolts into T-nuts below. ?
