Extension Table
Hi Everyone, I have a current year KF700SP (delivered 2016) and want to put an extension table at the end of the shaper outfeed but I don't know what connection type that is.? There is a short connection bar that is used to attach the power feeder lift that has room for a small width outfeed table.? Can anyone tell me what style of connection that is and whether Felder makes an extension table for this point? I see a couple in the catalogue, but can't tell which one would work for my application. Alternatively, if some other company makes an outfeed table, or there are plans to make one, please let me know. Using a power feeder on the shaper without an extension table provides very little room to catch the outfeed stock, plus I worry that longer stock will get pulled down by gravity at the leading edge and lift up the stock at the cutter head. As always, your assistance and advice is really appreciated. Warmly, Bill White SoCal (Orange County) |
开云体育Pretty sure that’s F-channel. Felder sells a 1 meter extension table with a leg for that position. Take a look at this on the Felder site:Brian Lamb blamb11@... www.lambtoolworks.com On Dec 5, 2016, at 5:32 PM, wildcoach@... [felder-woodworking] wrote:

I opted for the Aigner tables over the Felder. They are very?nice although mine arrived with a couple lumps or blemishes in them. Almost like where the?brackets for the legs got welded to the tables bottom?it caused the?aluminum to?deform. Its kinda?a bummer but they are really really nice otherwise. The F style bracket is what you want to mount either the Felder or Aigner tables. The Felder ones are on sale at the moment. Even on sale they are more expnsive than the Aigner and imop the Aigner are nicer. Call Felder in Delaware and ask for Geoff Dubet in sales. He is a great guy and will get you exactly what you need for your exact machine.. ? On Monday, December 5, 2016, Brian Lamb blamb11@... [felder-woodworking] <felder-woodworking@...> wrote:

I observed the same thing, extension table is 100% needed on the KF 700. I need to order one too. I think it is F-channel extension table. I have the wide aluminum F-channel extension table, I use it on planer and bandsaw, but too wide, can't use it on the outfeed end of the KF. James

开云体育I have the 18 cast iron extension on a KF700S and it fits nicely between the sliding table and the power feeder shaper tilt bracket.? ? You are correct about the workpiece needing support as it exits the 700’s cast iron table.? Seems you mentioned the Aigner shaper fence previously (maybe my memory is bad).? I have that option and before I bought the extension table, I had made a cut where the safety fingers of the Aigner were engaged to cover the unmachined portion of the wood.? Without disengaging them, I foolishly loosened the shaper hood from the 700’s cast table to move it back and the unsupported side of the Aigner fence tilted downward badly bending 4 of the engaged safety fingers; one I was able to straighten. 3 were an expensive repair purchase from Aigner ?(just glad they were available at any price). ?

I find it utterly amazing that you purchased a machine and an extension table at a minimum ?6x20"cast table was not part of your purchased. ?The table ends abruptly in less than a foot from spindle center line. This is the responsibility of your sales person,,, period. Like buying a saw with no blades what the hell. ? mac... ? martin/campshure/co/llc mac campshure 7412 elmwood ave. middleton, wi 53562-3106 608-332-2330 cell 608-824-0023 fax

I ended up buying an Aigner extension fence from Carl at Martin.? I can't remember exactly ?now and their e-shop is down but I think it was about half the price of the Felder. On Mon, Dec 5, 2016 at 7:36 PM, mac campshure mac512002@... [felder-woodworking] <felder-woodworking@...> wrote:

Mac, I completely agree with you. I should have asked the sales guy to throw in the cast iron extension table. I was mislead and thought the aluminum extension table could be used on the KF700. Besides, I could get it at 30% off accessory at the time of machine purchase. Oh well, lesson learned. So anyone buys a Saw/shaper machine in the future, must get the narrow cast iron extension table. James On Mon, Dec 5, 2016 at 8:36 PM mac campshure mac512002@...

开云体育I don't know if this is suitable for a shaper, but it works great for my jointer. General International out of Canada has collapsible accordion style roller stands that collapse down to about 2 foot and expand to around 6 foot. All 4 legs are independently adjustable and have a measuring scale on them for repeatability. The wheels also lock. I put marks on my floor where each wheel goes and leave the legs at the same adjustment. I can have both the infeed and outfeed ?sides set up and ready to go in probably less than 5 minutes. Each leg is infinitely adjustable , so you can really tweak them in to your machine. I have milled 12 foot lengths of lumber pretty darn flat and feel I could do the same with even longer if I had some. When I'm done with the long stuff they can be collapsed and rolled out the way in no time. I also have another one that I use on the infeed side of my cabinet saw. Works great. Just a thought.
