Hammer C3-41 Sliding Table Question #hammer

 

I have a Hammer C3-41 with the 79 inch table. I have found that the back 20 inches of the sliding table gradually "kicks up" more than 0.020". Almost like the tail of a skateboard. The remainder of the table is flat (within a couple of thousandths) for the first 60 inches of travel. I am referencing with a dial gauge mounted to the iron table about 2 inches in front of the saw blade. I've looked in the posts but only see information about leveling the entire table. Has anyone encountered this issue?
Thanks,
Mike Corcoran?

 

I have the same sliding table, though on a K3. I have never attempted to measure how flat the sliding aluminum table is along its length--which is what you're referencing, if I understand correctly. But I would not be surprised if mine had that amount of deviation, just given the overall realities of the machine. I can't really envision a fix, but also can't really see how a slight gradual uphill, especially one located only at the less used final part of the travel, would much matter in practice. (At least for the saw function; I know your machine has a shaper too that you perhaps use the table with.) I don't mean to fault you for doing the measurements, raising the issue and posing the question, of course, but is the uphill causing a problem?

Tables pretty light duty what I would do is put it between two sawhorses and stand on it. You have to jump on a little bit. That should straighten it out unless you have a press.

Just so you know, Felder tables are extruded and then machine hammer tables are extruded

Hi Mike,

Can you confirm that the table itself is flat but you see the variation on the dial gauge as you described?

Thanks, David. I don't think it makes a difference but I was surprised to see that much of a kick up. The machine was new to me in 2021 and I moved it into my shop with a pallet jack and uncrated it myself. So that table has not been used to move or lift the machine.
 

Thanks, Mac!
