Re: New C3-41 owner
Hi, I am also a new C3-31 owner and would be interested in how you upgraded these parts, as my only real beef with the machine is that the combination fence stinks. Thanks!

Re: Air lines
Yes, I think the tool probably lasts forever. I try to loan mine out, but I don't get a lot of takers. This PEX connector system, and several other proprietary variants, don't make sense to most

Re: Air lines
Cool tool. That looks like a good one that you buy, do your shop and let everyone else borrow. I don't think I'd wear it out on the little bit of airline I'll run. The copper pipe? Is the stuff they

Re: Air lines
PEX is becoming more popular. You can't use it where you need structural self-supporting lines, like steel pipe on hangers in mid-air, but if you're installing along surfaces, nothing is easier or

Re: Air lines
I did a quick search online l. I didn't find anybody making the argument that using PVC to s a good idea. OSHA says it's a no no. I installed mine years ago before I had a computer. It never occurred

Re: Air lines
Because it doesn't always fail. Maybe only one in a thousand installations fail. The point is that the failure mode can be dangerous -- PVC produces shrapnel, unlike steel, copper, certain other

Re: Air lines
I can¡¯t say if they have improved the PVC, I doubt it¡¯s changed much. I can¡¯t speak for other¡¯s ressults, can only relay what happened to us and why I wouldn¡¯t do it again. It was cheaper at

Re: Air lines
Sounds like I need to replace my PVC airlines. I wonder why there hasn't been a bit of problem down at Jim's auto repair shop? It's gets used hard. The fact that his compressors are inside may help

Re: Air lines
We plumbed our machine shop with Schedule 80 1¡± PVC back in the early 80¡¯s when we built it. Biggest mistake we ever made. The lines from the compressor sitting outside started failing within 6

Re: Air lines
A lot of people I know use Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 PVC pipe to plumb their air lines. A friend/neighbor uses Schedule 80 in his automotive repair shop. He installed it over 10 years ago. He has two

Re: CF741 Won't Start
That was great service, and glad you found the issue. Now you know that much more about your machine too. Brian Lamb blamb11@... www.lambtoolworks.com

Re: CF741 Won't Start
I was able to punch it a bunch of times to make it work. It¡¯s unlikely to work reliably, but I can just leave that switch alone and use the others to turn off the machine. I¡¯ll replace the bad

Re: CF741 Won't Start
if you just ordered the new switch how is it that it's up and running? Agree with Felder tech support being great. Some companies will only help you on the phone if you purchased the equipment new

Re: CF741 Won't Start
Brian and others - I got the call-back from Brian at Felder, and he walked me through checking the low-voltage circuits. He very patiently explained how and why we were doing the various checks, and

Re: Air lines
I don't have any issues with my American Rotary RPC. I bought a 20hp unit mainly because I was concerned about the hard start of my 7.5hp Quincy air compressor as it cycles on. When I bought my RPC in

Re: CF741 Won't Start
Well, I¡¯m no electrician either, but you need to make sure the switches are actually working. I do that with my multi-tester set for continuity and then manually activate the switches to make sure
