Hello everyone, I have a K 740 s and my on/off buttons on the sliding table are not working. I had the machine's electrical panel checked by a good technician. He said everything seemed normal. I also contacted an authorized Felder technician in Türkiye. He only sent an electrical diagram, gave advice from a distance and frankly I don't think he knows his job very well. The authorized service is very far from the city I live in and they wanted a high service fee to come to the workshop and check it. If anyone has encountered such a situation before or has an idea about this, I would be happy to hear from them.
Notice: The things I checked,
?
1. I checked the 9-volt battery that operates the control buttons.
2.I checked the electrical and electronic equipment of the machine (including fuses). There may be things we missed.
3.I tried to reprogram the radio transmitters inside the electrical panel according to the diagram sent by the technician, but I did not get any results.Thank you for reading. I used Google Translate so there may be some typos. Sorry about that.
One member trimmed the front end of the micro adjust block so the fence moves further back. ?That or drilling and tapping a new set of holes. At least locating the holes should be easy as there are 2 sets, so just drill in line. I recently drilled and tapped for bowmouldmaster and it really was pretty easy. The main hurdle was to find a good spot on the casting for the holes, especially avoiding the webs underneath.

Has anyone figured out a good solution to running the high speed router spindle with the Aigner integral fence given its larger fence thickness/depth? I assume I could always move back to the original fences but am curious if anyone has a smarter solution.?

I have the same hood and added an aigner integral fence to it that I picked up in Europe. The fences use a threaded plate instead of that big nut- I replaced the Felder threaded stud kip handle with one that matched the threading of the plate. I have a faint recollection of doing some minor alteration to something else but it all came together in the end. Lloyd Natof Oak Park Illinois

I have a 2004 Felder CF731S and I’m hearing from a Felder rep that there’s not a compatible Aigner Integral Fence that would work with my original shaper hood (pictured and linked below).?

Mr. Kee’s earlier message gave me some hope but I have yet to see any pictures of examples where someone has “enlarged the hole” to make the Aigner fence fit.

I’d be very appreciative if any of you can point me to a good example showing how this is done before I make a purchase decision.?

Definitely just contact Felder for the spare parts. At least here in Canada, i have found them to be very reasonably priced. Definitely cheaper than having something machined up as a one off. Felder's e-store is where you can get a scoring blade. Alternatively try FS Tools, they make great blades.
I have a 10-inch (254mm) Forrest Dado King drilled to fit a KF700 saw arbor (or 30mm shaper spindle) that I’m willing to sell. ?It was used only once to cut tenons in 10 Douglas Fir fence rails, and has sat in its storage cassette ever since. ?So it is still sharp. ?If someone is interested, DM me and we can discuss pricing. ?Photos below of my unit, but?except?it’s out of stock everywhere, and Forrest says to expect 2-3 months for delivery if you order from them. ?I bought this 10-inch kit because I needed a 90mm depth of cut on the fence rail tenons using the shaper, but had it bored for the pin holes just in case I wanted to use it on my KF700 (which I no longer own).

I have a BF 6-41 (single phase) that I purchased used some 25 years ago. It has the scoring arbor that appears to function. It turns when the machine is on, but I've never used it as it is missing the flange and bolt. And of course I would need a scoring blade.?
?
I have a few questions before I try to source or have the flange fabricated.?
?
Is it worth it. Will the scoring blade make a difference? I have a Forrest Duraline HI-A/T that I currently use on sheet goods. Seems to do a good job but I still get some chipping on Melamine board. Seems like the scoring unit would eliminate this.
?
If worth it, any specific blade recommendations here?
?
Where can I source the bolt and flange? Is Felder the only source and are they likely to even have these parts??
My understanding is that you were sent tooling designer for the shaper (spindle), while you were looking for something that could be used on both saw and shaper.
?
An example of what you may be looking for is seen on the attached image. You will notice there are two sets of pin holes.
?
Imran provided good advice regarding getting back to Felder.

I also bought a cutter that had pin holes but wouldn’t mount on the pin pattern on the saw arbor. It is part number 4.1.173 and I have other sizes and they don’t fit. What is this cutter meant for? I’m trying in a kf700sp.
?
photo attached showing pin hole offset from the ones on the arbor washer.

im assuming it’s for a different saw or a shaper but don’t understand the pins.

support and sales have ignored my question and sold me this during the sale process with no warning.?

You may already know this but to be sure 6" dado will give you about 1" depth of cut (depending upon your saw aggregate). May be this is fine for your use case.
I did have the older 8" CMT that I bought from Scott & Sargent which was fine. I could see the individual kerf lines but no perceptible ridges. I sold that after acquiring the Felder dado set. Oh! I don't need the pin holes on K975 so will need to check if same is available with Felder pin pattern.

I have the ridge carbide stack and it works well for the most part. However if you are trying to get any precise measurements dialed in then it can prove to be very annoying with the shims. The numbers they give should add up but somehow they don’t and you’re left figuring out various combinations to get your measurement right. At least that was my experience so far. I will be replacing it with a euro type dado cutter sooner than later.?

Kamal,
I have the Forrest stack for my K700S. ?Great results for me.
