Okay, I'm impressed
Joe Dusel
I am excitedly awaiting the arrival of my KF700S Pro and very impressed
by the fact that you can actually get support from Felder reps on a Sunday. Very good service. This is especially important to me since I usually only get to use my machines on the weekends, so this is when I need support the most. It would also be nice to be able to get support by phone on Saturdays as well. Joe |

Re: Outfeed roller

开云体育I have the same problem on my BF 7-41 and I believe Paul
LaPierre has also had the same thing happen.? My machine has been set by
both John and Chrisof and both times after milling a few boards I have to start
to pull them out.? I will try to super clean? the bed and use Felder's
super Gleit lubricant but I think we may have to acquire?the skills to
adjust the planer with facility.
???? In reference to the comparison of the
Robland and Felder machines, the only thing I found in the literature before I
bought mine was an article I had seen in American Wood Worker in 1992 (Issue #29
pp 35) when I first started thinking about setting up a shop-I am an amateur so
I depend on professional evaluation for many of my decisions.?The article
described Felders as rugged heavy-duty machines made with uncompromising
attention to detail?which I?think is true?but more important to
me is the pride the company has in their product and the? unusual support
they give their customers.
???? I had looked at the Robland and the
Laguna salesman was bitterly disappointed when I bought the Felder even though I
bought a bandsaw from them at the?same time. His conduct was so bad
that?I doubt if I will ever do any more business with
them.?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Re: Out Feed Table Movement
John Hartshorne
Richard,
Great your still on line. Ok I'm not sure what is causing this creep. But I had to ask the most basic questions. Sorry, belive me I do trust what you are telling me. I was talking to Paul La Pierre He said that he had loosened the two bolts on the two piviot clamps that connect the paralell bars near the cutterhead. He stated that the over all movement was better.(and easier) I invite you to try this. Note be sure that you only loosen the free pivot clamps as the other ones are fixed to the shafts with a set screw. What this might do is allow the table to settle on its own. I have another idea but I'm not sure how it will work but I wll make it a number one issue for tomorrow. I would like to give you a call to see how your doing, but I don't want to get you during your dinner. If you want me to call just let me know.

I will check another machine tomorrow and get back to you ASAP. Do you need another handle now? Are you relasing the tension off the black adjustment knob when you finishinh adjusting and locking the table? What happens when you press down on the outfeed edge of the out feed table, does it cause the edge closest to the cutterhead to rise?

Welcome, new members!
Geoff Shepherd
Wow - we're up to 64 members already! This is shaping up to be an invaluable
resource for all of us. I just wanted to post a note welcoming all the new members and point out a few items of interest. There is a group web site at If you haven't been there already, you will probably be prompted for an eGroups user name and password. If you don't have one set up already, it lets you do that and if very easy to do. Once you get to the web site you can go to the "Group Information" page and modify your subscription options if you like. For example, you can have the forum messages sent to your e-mail box, or you may set it for reading on the web page only. You can read/search previous messages (for example "X31 vs. Felder"), as well as post new messages to the group or to individual members. You may also access the shared calendar of events, the survey room, and the document vault. The vault is where we can share photographs, articles, web links, and diagrams. There is lots of stuff there already, so go check out the vault if you haven't yet. It's also easy to upload your own contributions to the vault. If you have a personal web site, feel free to post your link in the Link folder. Scott requested that we fill out at least our geographical location information in our member profiles. You can do this by going to the "Members" directory listing on the web site and clicking on your own name: Someday, it might be interesting to create a graphical map showing push-pins where everyone is located. Hmm.... If you have any questions or need help, send of an e-mail to one of the forum "managers" (marked with a red "M") in the member directory. This includes John Renzetti, Scott Slater, and myself. Have a good week, everyone... -- Geoff Shepherd mailto:Geoff@... |

Out Feed Table Movement
Richard McComas
Group, Just wandering how many owners of Felder's jointer/planer
machines are having the same problem that I am having. I have a AD-41, the 16" combo. I can't keep the out feed table in adjustment. It appear the table has some kind of tension on it that forces the table to slowly raise over a period of a day or two until the table is higher than the knives. I have always made sure that the locking lever is securely tightened and the adjusting nut is back off. In fact today after adjusting it again I applied enough force to brake the plastic off. Rich |

Planer adjustment theory
John Hartshorne
To the group,
Planers require that the cutterhead be be level to the planer table. So in this case you measure from the cutterhead to the table until both side are even. If your are adjusting a jointer/Planer then the jointer table is leveled to the cutterhad as well then the knives are set to the table. I the case of most felder machines the flatness of the table is good enough to not affect the knife to planer table relationship. ( which should be even as well) However, all other adjustments to the planer will require measurement from the arc of the knives with respect to the hight of the infeed, outfeed rollers, Chip breaker and second preasure bar. This should clear up and confusion. JH |

Re: Outfeed roller
John Hartshorne
Dear Paul,
The planer head is used to set the flatness of the jointer tables and the level of the planer table. All other settings for the planer are measured from the lowest arc of the knives. The ONEWAY gauge wil come with a large anvil which will allow you to clearly measure the arc of the knife JH "paul schumacher" <pdsch-@...> wrote: original article: =183 Thanks to Rod, John, and John for the help. I had to work today andtomorrow so I haven't done anything today on the planer. I think the dialgauge is the way to go and since I don't own one I think the Oneway is the wayto go. I'll order one and then try the suggestions you made regardingchecking the table. I am still not clear as to whether you use the nadir of theblade or the planner drum for the calibration. Thanks, Paul |

Re: Outfeed roller
Richard McComas
John Hartshorne was recently to my shop to set up my AD-41. The first
thing he did and told me was to set the outfeed table parallel to the cutter head. He said the cutter head is the heart of the machine and is the reference point for everything else. He then set the infeed table co-planer the outfeed table then set the knifes parallel to the outfeed table. jim voos <jvoo-@...> wrote: original article: =187 Really?outfeed table on the JOINTER originally.

Interesting, I am assuming the knifes have been set parallel to the outfeed table on the JOINTER originally. Isn't that the reference to which everything else will be set? John H., what are your thoughts about this? Should the cutterbody be parallel to the outfeed of the JOINTER as well, and then set the knifes parallel, followed by the Planer set ups? jim -----Original Message-----

Subject: [felder-woodworking] Re: Outfeed roller Paul, May I suggest you use the cutterhead body and not the knives. The reasoning behind this is that unless the knives are set exactly parallel to the cuttterhead you run the risk of being further out of tolerance than if you use the cutterhead body as your point of reference. Hope this helps. Rod "paul schumacher" <pdsch-@...> wrote: original article: =183 Thanks to Rod, John, and John for the help.

question re dust collector
Scott Slater
Hi,
I have an AF22 LN, 3 phase. When it is cold (in Southern CA, which means about 55 degrees), sometimes I will hit the start button on the DC, it will hum, and not start. I will then hit stop, then start, it will start and run as normal. I was wondering if I have the power hooked up wrong. I have the wires (from phase converter) T1, T2, T3 hooked up to the corresponding spots on the plug (there are notations on the plug). I am using the European 3 phase plug. Could I have the manufactured phase T3 hooked up to the starter on the motor? I checked the no load voltage from the coverter T1-T3 = 260, T2-T3 = 275 (within the specs for the converter). What line is the starter connected to on the motor T1 T2 or T3. If there is a way to visually see this, could you let me know this. BTW, John this is what the note on your desk is regarding. Scott |
