Tom,
This is exactly what I needed to know!? Thanks so much!

Hi PK,
The automatic filter cleaning on the RL160 and RL200 is different than the RL250/300/350. Whereas the RL250/300/350 uses a volume of compressed air to directly clean the filters, the RL160 and RL200 utilizes a pneumatic cylinder to actuate the "flipper bar" that would otherwise be pulled/pushed by hand. When engaged, the cylinder actuates ten times (five "pulls", five "pushes").?
In terms of amount of air used, I'm currently using a Makita MAC2400??, which is a hand-carry, 4 gallon compressor rated at 4.2cfm @ 90psi. When the filter cleaning system cycles, my memory is that it draws enough air that my air compressor kicks on midway through the cycle, and even my little hand carry compressor easily keeps up. I assume that once I upgrade to a larger compressor I could go a full filter cleaning cycle without initiating the compressor pump.?
I hope this helps, happy to go into greater depth if you'd like.?

Tom,
how much air does your RL 160 use during cleaning?? Is it like the RL250 and need a huge air supply?

Mac, I¡¯d burn them in the stove in my basement shop. Certainly wouldn¡¯t be my primary way to heat, but I wouldn¡¯t let them go to waste. I have nearly an unlimited supply of firewood from my sawmill hobby to provide the bulk of the heat.?

Re: AWFS Updates - After show thoughts
Scott, I think you¡¯ve hit the proverbial nail on the head regarding the Shaper. It¡¯s not a sophisticated cnc and as such has limitations when compared with a more fully featured cnc machine. However what makes the Shaper shine is the accessibility and easy of use for a multitude of tasks.?
It is particularly useful for making templates and jigs in the shop. It isn¡¯t useful for cutting larger parts like cabinets because its cut depth and power is limited. I would love to see Festool adapt their of2200 motor for a larger multi axis cnc machine that leverages the Shaper platform.?
The fact that you can bring the Shaper on the job and download any weirdo hardware file right to the machine is an absolute game changer.?

At some point it's going to have to be software. Axiom is just a gimpy RichAuto controller. I upgraded to a Centroid Acorn motion control system and it's a huge improvement, but the software is somewhere between DOS and Windows. It seems long time machinists accept this is how things are.
Shaper Origin doesn't have a 'true' CNC, but they really understand that easing the learning curve increases uptake. If that sort of thinking could be applied to a solid CNC machine you'd have a winner. Since Shapers backers (who also own Festool) seem pretty savvy, I'm hopeful they'll fuel the breakthrough.

This thread got me curious about my own phase perfect, standard model, 20hp. I had specified with the engineer and contractor I am working with to select the quiet option. They neglected to select that option, it turns out. After efforts across the board to reduce noise, the phase perfect machine is the loudest (in terms of perception) in the shop.
Has anyone researched if retrofitting a standard model (the generation selling last year) with a quiet option is possible? I¡¯ve been good at reducing noise and every bit helps. I¡¯m curious and if it can be done for a reasonable cost, I¡¯d do it.?
If not, I¡¯ll give the company a call.?
Regards,?

Ed, are you going to heat with briquettes ? Designing and building for 50 years

That video and the 1 year follow up video are what drew me to seriously thinking about one. I spoke to the US distributor yesterday to check pricing and availability. The 50kg rated unit is around 22k. They have had very good luck with them and intend to carry the small 20kg unit late this year. The difficulty is getting the motor converted to the US standard. They ship as 3 phase 400 volt 50hz. The manufacturer charges an arm and a leg to swap the motor, and once you add customs and container shipping, it gets quite expensive. He figured it would run about 15k, but won¡¯t know until the deal is inked. Obviously way less than what is currently available here, but still a lot more than our overseas friends are paying.

Re: Felder and Format4 machines for sale
As mentioned by Paul - the RL is 8" - I converted incorrectly.

Re: Felder and Format4 machines for sale
Can you send me photos, info, and price for the Format4 Dual 51
HI?
I am selling a few machines from a customer that has closed his shop. He purchased some Martin machinery which was sold but I am selling the following machines for him.
Format4 Dual 51 with spiral head and digital control.?
Felder RL200 dust collector with automatic filter cleaning and fire extinguisher system
Felder 1102 classic dual head sander - 230 volts 15Kw motor.?
Also for sale:?
CAM Master Stinger CNC 49x49 cutting area.
All the machines are in super nice condition - very very little use.
Machines are located in San Diego area, and can be shipped / crated for an additional fee.?
Please email me directly for photos and more info:

Re: Hammer K3 Winner Cross Cut Fence Profile Dimensions
Thanks will give that a whirl!

I came across this video from Manor Wood showing his briquette machine connected to his Felder dust collector. ?
Not sure how much it is, but he calls this one the baby of the product line.

I don¡¯t have a briquettes press but have recently picked up ?little metal jig from eBay to do my first batch
Have plenty of sawdust that the kids seems to like help spread on the garden beds so I¡¯ll just make it into a craft weekend to get some made and stacked to dry. Should turn out fun :)?

Joe, I am at a stage where I can benefit from a briquette press, I have about 20 x 60 gal bins and 10 x bulk bags, when I am busy they are mostly full, and when they are all full I have to dump them in my garden, obviously I dont store these bins where
I am, I have to drive them to another site, everything add up.?
Alko is very nice, with briquette press added it's eye watery expensive. I have a Nederman S750/1000, I will add a Prodeco or Comafer unit to the underside of the Nederman, some modification will be needed to make it fit but I dont think its too hard.
I really want a briquette press, the reduced size of the waste will save me a lot of time and logistics, obviously if its only occasional once every fortnight dumping its a luxury to have a briquette press.?
