Re: Thoughts on purchasing older F7 shapers?
Tom, I agree that your set up is about 3 levels above the F7. A side mount tenoning table, if you have the space, is pick of the coping litter. The spindle bearings on the T130 were lightened up in

Re: Thoughts on purchasing older F7 shapers?
Hi Imran,
My TF-130 came out to be ~$30k. The TL Pro-10 package alone is ~$11k. Other options I included were:

Re: Thoughts on purchasing older F7 shapers?
David Kumm,
Sound like you're pretty well set up, but if you were to consolidate down to a single machine I can share that I've been very happy with my TF-130.

I'd offer 5500. If he takes it, contact me and I'll loan you the 3/4" spindle to finish your doors, just pay shipping . As to the SCM, Minimax, I'd look at the motors before upgrading. My only

Re: Thoughts on purchasing older F7 shapers?
In 2021 I purchased a 2019 F700Z that was essentially never used with a Felder 4 wheel feeder for $7500 plus freight.
Your opportunity sounds expensive but I have not been watching prices.

Re: Thoughts on purchasing older F7 shapers?
I ordered the 3/4 spindle when I bought my KF700 but after using larger 30 mm shaper I would never use the 3/4. What a difference.

Re: RL160 filter change
I owned an older RL160 (2018?) and my starting capacitor died. Unfortunately you have to cut into the machine (yup) to access that area so I added some sheet metal for a cover where the cutout was

Re: Thoughts on purchasing older F7 shapers?
Just to clarify fully, the owner is asking $6500 for the machine ( https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1054183152376024/ ). I'm budgeting about $1500 on top of that for freight since I need

Re: Thoughts on purchasing older F7 shapers?
Hi Kory,
Welcome to the forum.
I don't have any direct experience on the older F7 machines so I can't comment there. I do have a contemporary KF700, which is a saw/shaper with the F700 shaper guts

Re: Thoughts on purchasing older F7 shapers?
I have a 1998 F7 with 39" sliding table. Pre Covid and pre inflation, I figured it was worth about 4500-5000 with four wheel feeder and three spindles. 8k still seems a little rich but my experience

Re: RL160 filter change
Gary my RL-160 was built in 2004 so there could be some differences with yours. The ladder frames that hold the filters do not come out on my machine unless you remove the entire upper unit with the

Hi Gerry,
I can’t trust my memory and maybe RL160 is different but I don’t recall having to remove the brush frame on RL125 to replace the filter. Or maybe you are doing this for saddique

Thoughts on purchasing older F7 shapers?
I have the opportunity to pick up a lightly used, older (1998) 10HP F7 with feeder for likely around $8k including freight
