I have a k700s with the adjustable groove cutter set. I am in need of the main cutter inserts and felder has them listed for 43 for 2 before tax/shipping.... does anybody have an aftermarket source? The size in reference is 12x6x1.5mm thanks in advance.

Reach out to csp tooling via instagram, not sure if they have a website. They charge a fair price and probably have that size cutter in stock?

Installing Felder Precision Miter unit with Pin Locating
Received parts for what Felder calls "Precision Miter Unit with Pin Locating System". Installation was straight forward and can be done in 15 mins, just read the picture captions to get an idea. The Xcut fence now locks at 5 deg increments up to 45 degree with a special stop at 22.5 degrees.
Felder missed an opportunity to make the calibration unnecessary. Any self respecting Felder owner really dials in the 90 deg stop, if Felder increased the length of the indexing bar by couple of inches and added a hole for 0 deg no calibration should be required.
I will place the parts list in the files section in few days and also report on how well it actually works. Since there is no slop to speak of, I know that I can get it to at least give me 45 deg every time. That alone is worth the parts cost, under $300.

This picture of simple model shows what appears to be a fan at the bottom. It would be nice if an owner of simple model could chime in with details.
?
The manual says ¡°Hard starting loads such as fans, conveyors, and pumps may cause the PTS to briefly reduce the voltage on the generated leg during motor start¡±. Based upon this, 16¡¯ planning head and shaper with heavy tooling should be fine. Overcurrent/Motor Starting graph below shows that 7.5HP model can deliver over 50A for 10 S. I think this is more than sufficient if the specification actually represents true performance.
?
?
The missing capacitors you identified might belong to the line filter per the manual below. So one could expect more electrical noise compared to the enterprise model.
?
As I mentioned to the OP, running a device close to it¡¯s rating does have an impact on life. Someone also mentioned that there might be more equipment in future so a bigger model may be good investment.

Looking at the manuals, the "Simple" model is significantly smaller in size compared to the "Enterprise" model:
?
7HP Simple: 17 9/16¡± x 12 5/16¡± x 6 5/16¡±
?
7HP Enterprise: ?25 7/16¡± x 17 1/4" x 7 3/8¡±
?
Looking at an internal diagram where Enterprise is on top and Simple on bottom, it appears that we have capacitors in the main AC-to-DC power supply on the left.? However, only the Enterprise has capacitors on the upper right for the board that drives the third leg.? The Simple model also does not appear to have any forced air cooling inside the unit.?? On the Enterprise, the big rectangle section in the middle is a forced air cooling area that aids with the other case fans.? I believe the Simple model just does not have room inside the case to put output run capacitors or cooling.
?
This could indicate that the "Simple" model does not have enough grunt to drive multiple motors or start a secondary motor while driving the first motor.?? In any event, I suspect the Simple model will not perform as well as Enterprise.
I read the article. My only concern is with the recommended 0.2 mm pass. Depending upon the species it may require decent amount of sanding to get rid of infeed roller marks. Perhaps that is better than the alternative.

That¡¯s a link to the electronic version, which is $11.55AUD which is just under $8USD.
AD941 has the steel feed rollers. Neil does not mention anything about the feed rollers. I think he uses his jig on AD941 to plane the material as it is.
I will copy Neil's jig to make 1/8" thick laminate for the rocking chair's sled using my AD741, cause I have no space for a drum sander in my double car garage shop.

I see that Neil Erasmus made a custom vacuum chuck to secure thin workpieces as they run through he planer.... very interesting!
?
What's unusual about this (in my experience with other vacuum chucks) is that, instead of securing the workpiece firmly, it allows the workpiece to slide over the chuck, driven by the feed rollers (ie the
workpiece moves, the chuck is stationary).... I would never have thought of attempting that.

In order to remove such minuscule amounts on each pass, I assume that he is not using the standard Felder steel feed rollers?

I have a similar problem with my AD951 (2008 vintage) purchased used and shipped from Florida to northern CA via LTL freight. ?When it first occurred after I got it installed and powered up, I thought I had purchased someone¡¯s lemon, or it had been moved out of alignment during shipping. ?I started down the rabbit hole of making adjustments when I discovered the locking cam on the outfield side of the table had come loose after startup, allowing the outfield table to lift so slightly one cannot see it, but it shows in the jointing of the piece. ?A quick twist to lock it down a second time always fixes the issue until I next change it to planer and back to jointer. ?It¡¯s an idiosyncrasy with this machine to which I have become accustomed.
?
Since I don¡¯t know if this is a common issue with this design, I suggest checking to be certain both the table locks are tight.

Did you try opening and closing the outfeed table to see if the drop still persists? If you moved the outfeed vertically to be even with the cutter head, did you do it in the up only direction? You don't ever want to come down to a point with the jointer tables, always take the slack going up. Just a couple of thoughts....

For the first time I decided to use the cast Iron table extension that is usually attached to my shaper spindle moulder to my planer jointer out feed. ?I was planing some 10¡¯ x 10¡± x 1 1/4 and thought I might benefit from extending the surface to help achieve a flatter, truer board. ?I set the extension up to be perfectly level with the out feed table.?
so far so good and the added surface helped support at the end of the cut. I think I probably always use the end of the outfeed table to pivot longer boards or use it as a point to rotate the board onto its side ready to carry it back for another pass. ?I didn¡¯t deliberately do this on the extension- more so that I didn¡¯t lever it out of level relative to the out feed surface. ?
Next day surface planing up some smaller boards I noticed something was amiss. ?First thing was the stock hitting the out feed just after the cutter on fence side. ?I could pass a board over cutter at the front of the machine but it was taking more from one side than other. ?I presume the out feed has moved and I would imagine this is due to the extra leverage of the extension.?
The table sits comfortably on the cathedral bolts at the front and they aren¡¯t loose ( as in neither have loosened or undone). ?
The out feed tips away from the cutter head by 0.80 mm with the in feed and out feed tables married up at the cutter head.
?
Fistly, am I missing something obvious? ?I am really hoping not to have to ?recalibrate the tables. ?I don¡¯t have any of the specialist dials / gauges etc. A while ago I tried to set up a Hammer planer / Thicknesser that a colleague had attempted to adjust. After many hours I failed and had to call in Felder Techs - ???????$$$$$. ?
