Re: Hammer a3-31 adjustments
Hey Bram-
?
Thanks for the response. Im getting snipe.on both the jointer and planer. The planer went out of adjustment last year. I made some adjustments to it last year but never really got it right. They told me having the feed roller too tight or too loose could cause the problem. I was playing cat and mouse with the machine for a bit and then kind of gave up and said it was good enough.?
?
A couple months ago i started having problems with the Jointer and was developing snipe aboit 1/3 way down the board and at tail end. My outfeed is sitting slightly higher than cutter block. I made some adjustments to both tables and still have an issue. And no i am not tightening the lock on the planer.. maybe thats the issue

Dovetailed?drawer boxes are very easy to make, don't us woodworkers do that type of thing?
?they are local for me, but they ship as well. I have used them a lot and never have had any issues... well actually one. They drill and notch (and supply at a good price) for the blum undermount drawer slide and one batch of boxes I got from them the 1/4" drill that the "hook" goes into wasn't drilled deep enough. Fortunately an easy fix, but it had me scratching my head for a few minutes when the drawers wouldn't engage in the slides.
I've always done the baltic birch sides, but they will do solid wood as well and whatever thickness bottom you want.

Re: Hammer a3-31 adjustments
Hi Brian?
1. Is it the jointer that is still giving you issues or the planer or both 2. For the planer snipe I firts want to verify that you are tightening the handle to lock the heigth adjustment shaft. No matter how wel tuned your machine is, if it isn't tightened you will hezt snipe
Regards?
Hello-
?
Machine is about 3 years old. Bought new from Felder. Was ? dialed in when i received it. Last year planer started getting snipe which i attempted to fix without great results. Spoke to Felder and my sales guy who sent me pretty vague adjustment instructions. Said it was a feed roller issue. I have snipe at both side of the board now. Recently jointer went out of adjustment. Watched 2 videos i found on YouTube, Felder sent me instructions for the Jointer which the Tech self proclaimed were prettty useless. I have a 50 inch straight edge and Oneway multi gauge. Made some adjustments but still not there. For those that have been there looking for any advice. I have experience with dovetail way and parallelogram jointers. Ive watched the woodwhisperers steps but because this machine has hinges for the locking handles, etc, maybe something im doing wrong.

You can order the T-nuts from Felder. ?They aren't cheap, though. ?I think they are $30ish a piece.
I used a couple of the Felder T-Nuts with the Kreg clamps that are pictured earlier in this thread. ?Worked well, just fiddly when doing big sheets because you'd have to walk around the sheet to clamp/unclamp the front.
Those Kreg clamps do come with a base as well - might be an extra/optional piece, but I have those for mine.
?
Not sure if this will work for you on squaring the outrigger, but I use a big TSO square and align it with the right side of the slider.
The edge of the sled is parallel to the blade on my saw. ?Makes it super quick and easy to set or check square.
Especially if you are like me and take the outrigger off from time to time for more space in the shop. ?Even if you don't, the outrigger is long enough that it's easy to bump at the end and get it out of square.

Years ago used Barker Cabinets ().? They typically provide full cabs but recall them also offering select parts.

Dave,

IMHO Western Dovetail makes great quality Drawer Boxes.? I met them at AWFS and tried them a few times.? Now I have a dovetailer, so I am going to try to match their quality...? We will see.

No Affiliation other than having a bunch of them.

Unless I want butt jointed and nailed drawers for my house that's under construction, which is all that the local custom cabinet guys offer, I need to go with someone like Legacy or Merrilat to make the cabinets.? The boxes are pretty standard but I'm wondering if I can bet the local cabinet guys to outsource drawers.? If so what is the go-to drawer supplier you use?
Thanks

Re: Box joint shaper cutter
Thanks Mac and Brent,
?
I checked both Leitz and Whitehill website La and both of them only have glue joint finger joint.
I¡¯ll email Whitehill and Leitz rep and ask for that cutter.
Mac - do you know your cutter dimensions/part number?
?

Re: Box joint shaper cutter
+1 for Whitehill. They may not be local but they get cutters delivered to my door extremely fast. I've placed at least 5 separate orders from them in the last year. In-stock items arrive at my door 2 days after ordering, and I'm in the north east US.
?
I also just had them make a custom set of knives and they got delivered today. I sent the email with the drawings last Sunday, so turnaround time was less than a week even in that case.

Hi Nathan, Whitehill has a set of tooling for this.? In fact they make the tooling that Marshall uses for making their world famous guitar amplifiers!? I can't find it on their web page, but email sales@... and ask for David and he'll sort you out.

Re: Box joint shaper cutter
I have the same cutter made by Leitz tooling system at Grand Rapids/ stuttgart, Germany. And you have the clamps to hold the material against fence. Designing and building for 50 years

Re: Drawer Sides Best Practices
Kamal,
You're exactly right. Being able to slide in the drawer bottom is very handy if like me, you do all your finishing after the drawer boxes are glued up. Not having a bottom in the drawer box makes spray finishing way easier, especially with deeper drawers. I finish the drawer bottoms separately and simply slide them in after and fix them in place.
Regards,
Bryce

Hi everyone,?

I have a couple electrical issues with two machines which I¡¯m trying to fix. They have happened within a couple weeks of each other which I think is just a coincidence as the rest of machines are running fine and all on the same line.

Fb540 has the electronic brake locked on and after a little digging rectifier on the motor seems to have blown (circled in red on the second photo). Would this cause this? I¡¯ve had a look and haven¡¯t found a replacement yet but dont really know where to look and what to search for.
?
The f700 has just stopped working, I can¡¯t locate any fuses or anything that has tripped. It use to make a ¡®thunk¡¯ noise and start whirring once you flicked the main power switch on and would then fire up when you hit the green button. Now it still makes the ¡®thunk¡¯ noise but shows no other signs of life. I opened it up but it is way beyond by skill set.
?
I dont know if there any easy fixes for these issues but any help would be greatly appreciated, I just dont wanna miss something obvious before ?I reach out to a technician .

Re: Drawer Sides Best Practices
Imran, I think another thing to consider with this approach (back panel shortened) is you can slide in your bottom panel after glue up and use nails or small screws to affix to the back panel.

Re: Drawer Sides Best Practices
Bryce, no worries and thank you for the sketch and narrative.? I think I have it figured out as ultimately I was struggling with the toe-out and its effect on the dado...your comments along with those received from Best offline were incredibly helpful!??
