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 record a video on shoemaking and/or oil painting. :)

Re: 3 phase power plugs/outlets
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý?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 of the motor rotation. So if you don¡¯t use neutral there is no difference. Another way to look at it is that the neutral is center tap on one of the 3 windings and it is no different than single phase household electricity in USA. You get 240VAC between phases and 120 VAC between neutral and a phase. The uniqueness of this system is the voltage between the 3rd phase, phase B in the above diagram (which is independent of the 2 other phases with center tapped), and neutral. This voltage is 208 VAC. The high leg (phase B) is to be marked/identified. I am not sure if this is helpful in any ways.

Seems like an easy opportunity to screw up which two legs the neutral is between, and fry something that's voltage sensitive.? It seems like stories about 3-phase delta equipment needing the legs swapped around after initial wiring are extremely common, which leads me to think it would be extremely common to wire in a misplaced neutral on a 4-wire delta system.

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 here at Lake Tahoe, the high altitude forces one to de-rate the performance of a dust collection system.? I was leaning towards the FS41ES anyway, but the deciding factor was the dust collection not needing to trade sides allows for a shorter length of flex hose, and thus a lower static pressure in the duct work.? Unfortunately, I've never owned one of the Felder jointer/planer combos, so I cannot directly compare from personal experience.

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 table more than 2 inches to shift from planer back to jointer mode thus potentially saving time and wear and tear on motor and electronics. 3.) table design is a simpler parallelogram and while I¡¯ve not had to adjust the tables, Im told it is a much simpler process if the need arrises. As far as the 16¡±¡I keep my jointer in front of a 25¡± drum sander that I don¡¯t use a lot and the bar sits in between the sander and another cabinet. If I have to use the sander I just pull the fence forward and insert the mobility lever in the J/P, and pull it out of the way and pull ?the sander forward. It works out fine. Hope this helps!

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 and ease of change over relative to the cheaper machines.
?
My main problem with the Scm vs the Felder is the fence cylinder in the back that requires to have the machine sit 16" from the wall- can someone please verify that vs the felder?
?
And of course any input would be appreciated!
?
Thanks? |

Re: RL160 filter change
David,
?
I¡¯ve been awhile getting back to this. I finally have an opportunity to work on my dust collection system again, so here are a few answers to your questions, as well as a few new followup questions.
?
You wanted to know about the filters that I bought & what gasket material I used when installing g the new filters:
I did buy the more expensive filters ($$$$), and they do seem to work well. I am getting better air suction from my RL160 now than even when it was new.
?
The gasket material that I bought was from McMaster, per your recommendation. The stuff I bought was edpm foam, 3/4¡± wide x 1/2¡± thick. In my RL160, which appears to be a bit weird compared to what everyone else has seen, this gasket worked great - but - it was a real pain to install. I probably could have used a slightly thinner material, as it was a really tight fit. The 25¡¯ roll was just about right - I had 2-3 ft leftover when I was done.
?
Now I have a few questions about your design docs for the automatic sweeper.
?
I have studied the 2 docs that you published, and noticed that there are differences between some of the parts listed on the design doc vs the actual order that you placed.
?
1 - Most of the differences are in the connectors specified. I am guessing that you switched from 5/32¡± hose to 1/8¡± hose, which resulted in a bunch of the connectors being changed accordingly??
?
2 - The first item listed on your purchase order, though, ?(¡°FTG Flow Control Valve¡±) has me confused. I¡¯m not sure what these things do (2 are specified), but it appears from your design doc that they serve to connect the 1/8¡± hose to the cylinder - except these particular parts are listed as 1/4¡± on both ends?
?
3 - Since your docs are 10 years old (!) it¡¯s not a surprise that some of the parts are no longer available, but in those cases (the regulator & toggle valve in particular), they recommend substitutions which look close enough to work.
4 - FYI - After 10 years (again no surprise) the prices on everything has gone up¡ your invoice shows a total of $148, today¡¯s price: $250.
?
Automation Direct has 3D CAD models for most of these parts, so I am building a Fusion 360 design of the sweeper as I plan to build it. I am having to make minor mods to accommodate the way I am mounting the control system in my shop.
?
Thanks once again for all of your help & advice.
?
Best regards,
?
