blade noise, motor speed,hz and amps
I checked the data info on the machine and not the motor this morning.
The motor on my KF7F is rated at 14.5a at 240v 60hz and 3400rpm at 50hz
it says 15a and 2760rpm. There are different pulleys and

Re: Table saw blade noise
I've been reading this thread and have a few thoughts:
Motor speed: The motors' information plates on my KF-7X lists speeds for
both 50Hz and 60Hz operation. It also lists two amperage figures.

Thick caffeinated air aside (hmm), I appreciate all your interesting and
varied responses once again.
I do wear hearing and eye protection as a matter of habit. However, I still
prefer quieter

blades talk
With all this talk about blades on the table saw, and me not even having a
Felder table saw to use (until May), I feel left out. But, today I bought a
Lenox Tri Master Carbide blade for my bandsaw

Re: Table saw blade noise
My tablesaw noise doesn't sound extrordinarily loud. It does have a
"serious, industrial" powerful sound to it though. I also used to have
a BT 3000, like Charlie, and it was anoyingly loud. I also

Re: Table saw blade noise
...at 4000 rpm/12" blade, you're at 12,500+ peripheral ft/minute which is pretty fast.
Wouldn't you have to have pronounced run-out to make a real difference in noise?

Re: Table saw blade noise
Geoff,
Wow, here I thought it was the aroma of Tacoma that was making my
blades run louder, but it's the air ehh.
Actually I did find that the 12" blade running on the Felder has a

Re: Table saw blade noise
My original machine was single phase and it was somewhat noisier than the 3
phase I have now. The scream of the blade through the air is the same, but
the cabinet noise is much reduced. The air

Re: Mortising Table
Real men don't need a mortiser transporter.
The reason I'm not a real man is I got to thinking how much it would cost me if I was to
accidentally dropped the unit while manhandling it. Also if I

Re: Table saw blade noise
If you're not getting a good kerf running the saw without a blade you need to raise the
splitter a bit - should sit about 1/4" below where the top of the blade would be if
there was a blade

Re: Mortising Table
Let's make a list of all the "optional" acccessories that are essential to the
efficient operation of the machine! That's why a saw that lists for around ten grand

Re: Table saw blade noise
Interesting... this saw runs with more noise than even my Shopsmith (in
table saw mode), which was louder than a good contractor's saw due to the
variable speed Reeves drive system. Cutting

Re: Mortising Table
Thanks, everyone for the comments (thus far!) on the mortising table and
cutters. It is on my "someday" list... sooner or later, that is.
Regarding the carriage for it, I just thought it peculiar

Table saw blade noise
Another question for the group...
It seems to me that the saw on my BF6-31 is two or three times louder than a
typical 10" cabinet saw. Most of the noise is a loud high-pitched wooshing
of air, and

Re: Mortising Table
Geoff, I have a AD-41 with the mortising unit that hangs on the side. I have tried
the Felder bits as well as the regular up and down spiral bits like you get from Jesada
and a spiral end mill bit.

Mortising Table
Since my used BF6-31 didn't come with the mortising table, I'm sure I will
eventually get one on order. I see there are at least two kinds of mortising
bits: "precision bits", and well, I guess that
