Re: Hammer B3 questions

 

Sorry it's early, John is correct method uses a square not a straight edge.

Hi Morgan,?

There is also a wonderful 3 cut method that works great too. ?And you can even employ a dial indicator if you wish to really get it dialed in.

Thx,

Wade

Hi Morgan,
?
1- Lots of methods available, if your familiar with 5 cut, do that. There is also an option to attach a straight edge to the blade and use a dial indicator along it's travel.
?
2-Felder do sell them, but you can also print them, make them, or people like Ramon Valdez do make some for certain models, but likely expensive for shipping?
?
3- Check the parts diagram to confirm, but if you need an adapter, automotive adapters, dust collection adapters or 3D printed ones are all options
?
4- Milescraft T-Track hold down, modifying a Kreg Automaxx or using a track clamp with an adapter are all cheaper options. Quick search here should show some examples.

Re: Hammer B3 questions

 

David Best demonstrates a method of using a large and accurate square with a dial indicator. I use this method, and find it to be quick, easy, and accurate.
?
You can find this demonstration at the end of Mr. Best’s YouTube video “Sliding Table Alignment for Felder Equipment”. It is about 37 minutes into the video.
?
It does require a substantial and accurate square, which is not easy to get. I use one made by Lamb Tool Works.

Re: Blade to Fence Capacity on BF6-41 w/retrofit fence

 

And I said in my opening post that I had 30" between the blade and fence but it is actually 36" with the fence placed as shown in the photo. I think this is plenty for me and I do have a track saw for those rare occasions when I need more capacity. Also, going further out, there is no support at the table. I'm sure I could rig something but not worth it. Getting rid of that protrusion will make it so much easier for me to get around the saw as I have to walk clear around the room now to get to the other side. It is a tight fit.
Hammer B3 questions

 

Hello again,?
?
I have a couple of questions that have probably been answered in here multiple times, but I’ve had a search across prior topics and haven’t found quite what I’m looking for (probably my bad searching!).
?
So, here goes…
?
(1) - Outrigger fence adjustment
?
What is the best way to adjust the fence in the outrigger to get it square to the blade? I’m assuming the 5 cut method, but maybe there’s another way.
?
(2) - Zero clearance inserts
?
Where can I buy zero clearance inserts - I’m in the UK.
?
(3) - Extraction hose diameter
?
Is the hose 100mm internally to the saw? If so, is there a suggested adaptor that I can replace the stock adaptor (100 internal, 120 external) with that bolts in place of the standard one?
?
(4) - 3rd party hold down solutions
?
I like the idea of the eccentric hold down clamp for the slider, but clearly not the cost from Felder as I don’t really want to have to sell a kidney.
?
Are there any 3rd party options that do a similar job? I’m thinking I’ll just use a toggle clamp and make something up myself, but wondered if there was any enterprising soul who had done this already.
?
?
Thankyou for any suggestions you can give. So far I am really impressed by the help in this forum, it’s easily the best I’ve ever used - by a long way!
?
Cheers,
?
Morgan

Re: Replacement of internal dust hose is K3 Hammer slider

 

1999 C3-31 uses 100mm hose. If an adapter as is being discussed became available I would buy one.?
Re: Blade to Fence Capacity on BF6-41 w/retrofit fence

 

My impression is that most members here are in bigger shops and need to preserve the capacity to push a lot of sheets through their machines, but there are others working out of a 1-car garage sized space of about 12' wide and that creates a squeeze on both sides. My 1999 C3-31 came with remarkably poorly designed miter and fence and both had to be replaced, the fence with a Unifence exactly like yours (without the extrusion upgrade). I cut my Unifence down as you are proposing and no regrets but again I cut very few sheets.

The hardest part is defintely getting it out, once you've done it once, it's easy after that. If the rubber is in good condition, just take the groove out on the disc sander or edge sander, feathering it out a few inches either side and you will be good to go.?
