Re: Feeding Material left to right on shaper
Hi Joe, Thanks for the details and the pics. That knife projection is crazy, did not think anything like that would be possible or safe. I am kind of surprised with the use of Aigner clamping device

Re: Feeding Material left to right on shaper
Here are more examples of dealing with small panels. I rarely make sleds for running these as it¡¯s time consuming. The first pictures are small 7¡±X7¡± panels with deep cuts for a pair of 10¡¯

Re: Forklift / Riggers in the Seattle area
Thanks, leemstradamus. Really kind of you to offer! I¡¯m still planning out the electrical. I¡¯ll reach out to you in case I¡¯m still stuck with logistics.

Re: Felder FD250
I also prefer the Muiltirouter for general joinery applications, but the FD250 is probably a better choice if you¡¯re building big heavy passage doors (which I do not). Adding a DRO in all three axis

Re: Forklift / Riggers in the Seattle area
Micheal, I have an out of level floor as well, so I used heavy duty leveling feet. When I saw the size of this beast, there was no thought moving this around in my shop. ??? Wade

Re: Felder FD250
Andy, We never settled on a permanent location in the shop, so it's handy that we kept the lead cord long and roll it to the projects, esp. when large and already sitting on a lift cart. Otherwise it

Re: Felder FD250
Joe You hit on some use cases I was thinking of that this machine seems to address. In particular euro door construction. I used the Hoffmann at Joes shop. It¡¯s awesome for sure. I¡¯ll email you

Re: Felder FD250
Joe brings up an important aspect, alignment of mortices along the length of the stiles, one part to another. I got decent results by adding a center mark on a scrap of wood that I sandwiched between

Re: Felder FD250
Andy, For dowel boring I got carbide tipped boring bits from Greg at Rangate that are sized .1mm larger than the dowels. Joe Calhoon told me about these bits and they make doweling so much easier. The

Re: Felder FD250
I've had a 250 since 1999 and it is one of the most versatile machines in the shop as it can do things that are hard to duplicate with standard boring machines. Having said that, entry and passage

Re: Forklift / Riggers in the Seattle area
Are the casters height adjustable or do you level the machine by adjusting the stems on rhe casters the way the leveling feet do?

Re: Felder FD250
Hi Andy, Just saw Joe¡¯s response but mine is typed so sorry for duplication. You need to order with mortising option. This adds rack & pinion (front/back) motion and a lever on the left side

Re: Felder FD250
Hey Tom thank you for this info. Is the mechanical DRO the same as the system hand wheel? I don¡¯t see that option listed anywhere. I like the slower speed option. I wonder if that¡¯s available in

Re: Felder FD250
Hi Andy, I have a FD-250 and get a lot of use out of it. There are definitely heavier/more capable machines out there, but for the size, price, and versatility, I think it's a worthwhile machine. I

Re: Felder FD250
Hey Andrew thanks for this. According to Felder phase doesn¡¯t matter. The single phase machine can do all three. I¡¯ll definitely double check that but the quote I have includes square chisel

Re: Felder FD250
Andy, I used the FD250 for door construction. I added pneumatic clamps and a height DRO to make it easier and faster to use. I also moved the control handle utilizing a custom bracket that Brian Lamb

Re: Felder FD250
Hi Andy, I¡¯m not a current user of this, but almost bought it last year and did a lot of research on it. ?Manor wood has a great video about it on his YouTube channel. I might go for one next year.

Re: Forklift / Riggers in the Seattle area
To add to Michael¡¯s point, there is not really a great, convenient and safe place to grab a hold to push/pull the saw. Slider is off limits so is the extension on rip side. If there is an extension
