Feedback on the sliding saw selection
Hello, you excellent people,
First time to the group, looking to take the plunge on (relatively) big iron ownership, hoping to run my selection process by you and hopefully reined in if it gets too

Re: FB600 Bandsaw Brake Squeal
My SCM screams like a banshee also. I have never tried to fix that, but avoid using the brake unless I need to.

Mine is ~14" from the wall, I could get it a little closer, If you removed the fence you could almost have it flush, but you would be crazy to remove it, its got quite a bit of

FB600 Bandsaw Brake Squeal
My big FB600 has a foot pedal that both cuts the motor (very delicate adjustment there) and pushes a rubber brake pad into the rim of the lower wheel to stop it / slow it down.? The problem is it

Re: 3 phase power plugs/outlets
That's a good point, I hadn't considered that the correct neutral position would be much easier to check than the phases of the three hot legs.

Re: Options for sheet good support on K700s
I also find the two points of contact approach for solid lumber to be a good way to work.? Probably because I'm just not that good with a jointer, I've sometimes taken off more material than was

Re: 3 phase power plugs/outlets
1. A little motor bump is standard accepted practice to verifying phase
orientation from small 3 phase to power plant generator turbines. Any
larger motors have starter circuits to control current

Re: 3 phase power plugs/outlets
Hi Jim,
Maybe this is a learning opportunity for me. I assume the wiring would follow some color scheme but understand that is not always the case. However, would it not be possible to check voltage

Re: 3 phase power plugs/outlets
Michael,
An observation, though please note I’ve never seen 4-wire Delta either for
any purpose other than ground fault detection (and this was also not at
240V, more like 4100V for a 5500 hp air

Re: Options for sheet good support on K700s
Hi Bryce,
Many, many thanks for recording and uploading the YouTube video. It was very informative.
My wife was in shock when I said, "Bryce is talking about me..." She wants to know if you can

Re: 3 phase power plugs/outlets
?Hi Michael,
I only have book knowledge as I have never used a 4-wire Delta system. The 3 phases on this system are no different as far as one would wire them or swap two phases to change direction

Re: Felder AD941 vs SCM Fs41ES
I did quite a bit of reading a while back, and ended up concluding that the FS41ES was the machine to get.? It seemed like the general opinion was that it was a better engineering combo machine.? Up

Re: 3 phase power plugs/outlets
Resuscitating an old thread: I could understand wye 3-phase equipment requiring a neutral, as that produces a nice symmetrical arrangement and also (as I naively understand it) provides easy handling

Re: Felder AD941 vs SCM Fs41ES
Yes…true, but there are also features of the SCM that are better than the
Felder such as:
1.) no need to flip dust shoot from Right hand to Left hand with the SCM.
2.) no need to lower the planer

Re: DRO on a shaper fence?
Imran, I can confirm another 700 series fence with that annoying small
amount of slop.
Spent many hours thinking how to introduce a fixed DRO successfully and
haven't come up with a fixed solution.

Felder AD941 vs SCM Fs41ES
I'm leaning toward the Fs41ES for a couple reasons:
A. Cheaper
B. Can be picked up locally in LA.
C. Both machines are probably going to be. overkill for my use, but I like the power height adjustment

Re: DRO on a shaper fence?
Thanks Bryce. Good to know. Would be nice to not have to check square every time when using xcut fence for cross profiling.
