Re: Fixing butt hinges on the edge of MDF doors (!!!)
Thanks for the quick replies.
Morgan:
I hadn't considered using tee hinges for the outer doors. They would be more robust than the Blum "click-top" type but I will need to consult with my in-house

Re: K700S vs Format4 K450X Impressions
Hi,
Just to let you know that my Felder 945S has the exact same flange/pin
design as John's Kappa 450. I suppose it might have something to do with
stopping a size 450mm blade.
Regards,
Cornelius

Re: K700S vs Format4 K450X Impressions
Imran¡¯s saw to which you refer is a K975. The pins on the cap secure the cap to the saw arbor so that it doesn¡¯t spin loose when breaking is applied. The same pins exist on the cap for the Kappa

Re: K700S vs Format4 K450X Impressions
It seems counter-intuitive that the K700S, with a maximum blade size of 315 mm, would have pins and the Kappa 400 with larger blade capacity does not.
It sounds like Imran¡¯s saw has pins in the

Re: Fixing butt hinges on the edge of MDF doors (!!!)
Dave, 99% of high end uk kitchen manufacturers that produce painted face
frame stuff use MR MDF doors and butt hinges. The trick is to pre drill for
the screw, use a longish quality screw like assay

Re: K700S vs Format4 K450X Impressions
OK, that¡¯s what I figured based on your description. This is totally different from the Kappa 400 arrangement which does NOT have pins that go through pin holes in the blade. I guess Felder

Re: K700S vs Format4 K450X Impressions
This is the other side, with the flange in place. This is what it looks like when ready to install a new blade.

Re: WB Sanding Belts
Thanks Joe,
I have two pressure washers here at the homestead. Neither provide hot water. I hadn't thought of how I would hang them to clean them. It makes sense to avoid creasing them, or

Re: Fixing butt hinges on the edge of MDF doors (!!!)
I've had to do this before. I plowed a dado in the edge of the doors and
glued in a piece of hardwood maybe 12x25 mm. All the screws go into the
wood and it works fine.

I built the attached MDF doors about 10 years ago and they are as good now as the day I built them. Each of the leaves is about 910 x 290, so smaller than yours but also made from 18mm MDF, so I¡¯d

Re: K700S vs Format4 K450X Impressions
Thanks John. The pictures showed it but it did not show both sides of the rear flange. Interesting, maybe, David B has an idea of this. My 2006 K975, has no pins on either side of the rear flange.

Re: K700S vs Format4 K450X Impressions
Imran, that is correct for the K450X. For the K700S the pins are permanently mounted into the arbor assembly.

Re: K700S vs Format4 K450X Impressions
Hi John,
Just to be clear. The rear flange has pins on both sides, to mate with the recess in the arbor and the holes in the blade?

I know that this is a bad idea, and I have never before used butt hinges with MDF doors, but I want to explore whether anybody has been foolish enough to do the same thing - and succeed.
