Imran, have you tried tightening the nut for the thrust bearing on the microadjust threaded rod? Mine had multiple mm of slop, but after tightening, that problem has gone away. That said, the pins

I have a plan to add DRO to the shaper on my KF700. I am just waiting to build my tenoning fence and install bowmouldmaster so I am sure what I do is not going to be in the way. I am glad to have the

A few years back I had a fellow FOG member (who can volunteerthemselves if they want) to configure a Fiama unit on the F700z fence. It worked quite well and solved many gripes I found with setup

The idea of an accurate DRO the fence is seductive to me. I have a KF700SP and an F700Z. For me the DRO would have to be very repeatable, likely to +/- 0.001” for ,e to trust it.

Hi Kory, I own the Felder F700Z, however, have not used it extensively. Especially not for repeat jobs after having changed Cutter heads back and forth. That being said, there have been a few times

Hi Kory, Not talking from experience, but when I considered a Shaper, the fence of the F700Z/F900Z was a notorious drawback. There are a lot of stories of people who upgraded/bought the Profile 45Z

I'm looking at SCM and Felder shapers recently and have come to think that the readouts on the fences may have a big impact on my repeatability. This is pretty important as I change cutter heads very

I always make black and white statements. I’m often wrong, but never in doubt. ? David

Hi Rod: "The motor has no effect on bearing lifespan..." Maybe an overstatement? If an F7 has minimum HP it is fairly hard to load up. And if an F7 is optioned with a monster motor, there is at

Hi, the 3 speed spindles for the 7 series are available in 30mm, 40mm and 1 1/4" The motor has no effect on bearing lifespan, rotational speed and loads do, which is dependent upon what you do with

About two weeks ago, I went to turn on my Kappa 590 saw and it wouldn't boot up.? Unfortunately, the SD Card that holds the operating system and tool data etc. failed.? The fix required the local

Thanks for the info. ?Yes, it is a huge difference going from 75 to 62 db. ?Anyone in Southern California want a California Air 20 gal 4 hp?

Brett, Thanks for the tips, I'll have to try that. Brian, I've got to give Eastwood props on addressing that issue. If that video had been out a few months ago I probably would have just ordered

FWIW, regarding the Eastwood compressors, they just released an updated version that has some new features to improve reliability. Best part is it is retrofittable to any of the previous units. I just

Joel, I can't imagine a world where the 80/120 would be a better choice than the 30/60 unless you start heavy media blasting or fire up a full time spray finishing shop at your house. Bruce - the

Hi Joel, Fwiw, I ended up getting the Anest Iwata compressor, https://anestiwata.com/product/slte2-compressor/. I got the 5hp 60 gallon one from eBay for a super good price. They are about 10k new

Hi Joel, You probably already know this but why not share with the group. Sound pressure doubles or halves with a change of 3db. So one may think that the sound level will be 1/4 going from 75 to

"The bigger version is 3-phase, which I would have bought but back in the day we had no other 3-phase equipment in service and didn't want to pay for it. Hindsight is 2020...." As I was listening to

Hi David, Good to hear from you, and many thanks for the concise approach. I will be very careful not to over-torque those jam nuts and temple bolts. I'm surprised they're not hardened. I will

Thanks for detailed feedback Imran and Aaron, I'll post back when I get the upgrade PTE007 model and report the results. Bruce
