Brian, I can't figure out how to get your entire mail address, but I am interested in the hammer chute

Would be much appreciated, thank you!

Re: F700Z fence plate alignment issue
Yes that’s the Extrema rail-master coping sled. I love it to bits, makes coping a breeze. One cool feature it has is an air cushion in the base when you flick the air clamp on. This helps it glide smoothly on the surface. It’s better suited for a cast iron surface, I used some uhmw tape on the bottom of mine to prevent the aluminum slider portion from getting scratched up. If you’d like I can show a better video of it tomorrow??

Re: F700Z fence plate alignment issue
I’ll have to get a better look at it tomorrow, hoping that’s the easy fix for it.?

? HI Dan,
That was what i thought initially but when i check it with a straight edge, the castings were machined spot on. It does end up spot on though after a good clean up, it's just that sometimes it catches me out when i start to run something and then notice it. That first piece is normally a test piece anyway, so not an issue.

Re: Hammer dust chute revisited...
Glad it's working for you. I only had pictures to go by and it looked like that flange around the top would hit the belt cover on the motor.

Jup it clears everything. Been working great for the past few weeks. I my case i added a slight bend forwards because if have to clear a homemade throughput for an extra on off switch on my sliding table. As can be seen in the picture below. Ican take a picture of the inside with the blade fully tilted if you want to.

Re: Hammer dust chute revisited...
Does that clear everything? Pictures I have from Tom look like it wouldn't on the side closest to the blade. I had to remove the bolt on that side completely.

Hello Nentanel,?
Thanks for offering to organise getting a batch of these made up can you please put me down for a kit for two machines please.? Hopefully you get enough interest in this project. Just let me know how and when to send you the money.

Re: Hammer dust chute revisited...
Hi Brian
Since I live in Europe buying a printed model is off the radar. Are you willing to sell the stl and/or fusion file?
Regards
I worked with fellow FOGer Tom Fulmer on fine tuning the 3D printed dust chute adapter for the Hammer machines. After quite a few iterations I have a solution that actually works. Hopefull nobody printed the first one I posted, it was a pretty bad failure... that's what happens when I do things without proper measurements and engineering.
Any way, if anybody wants one, I'd be happy to print some, contact me off the list at blamb11@... I'll attach a 3D PDF file of what it looks like, which is easier to see how it all works than in pictures. It slips on the dust chute and then hangs off the metal ears sticking out off the sides.

Re: F700Z fence plate alignment issue
Bryce, it almost seems as if the attachment mechanism doesn’t retract enough to pull it tight or the surfaces were not machined properly. Could Also be a defective fence plate. I’m putting in a service ticket later, will see what they say.?

? Hi Dan,
I have noticed this too on the 230 fence of my CF741. When i do, i pull both fences off and clean everything with a blast of air and a bit of a wipe and it tends to end up spot on again. Hopefully this will solve your issue, otherwise it sounds like a bit of an issue, since i don't believe there is any adjustment.
Regards,
Bryce

Re: F700Z fence plate alignment issue
Unfortunately an aigner fence is just not in the budget at this point. I’d rather upgrade the machine to a format 4 shaper than invest more into this model.?

Re: Felder AD941 vs SCM Fs41ES
Thanks, Mike D! Some folks in this group have mentioned issues with getting things clean and screws torqued correctly. Definitely prudent to check YouTube.

I bought a 15” Powermatic thicknesser with spiral head, after years of the cheapest import I could find. I was amazed at the finish quality - I ran a chunk of fir through it and the surface was like glass. My reaction was “why did I wait so long to get this!”

The PM motivated me to replace the head on my 8” Delta jointer with a Byrd head. That was disappointing. Lots of little scallops. Jointing slower was the solution, but it was not really what I expected.

I’m satisfied with the spiral head on my A951, but am not looking forward to rotating all of those cutters.
