Just received a brand new F900z, and am beyond frustrated.? One issue at a time. I ordered the safety bar kit from felder shop prior to receiving machine. They have 2 options for mounting, according to the "instruction" sheet, I think(?). Problem is, I've got fence plates that are mitered on one end, while opposite end has a flat milled into it with threads, which land offset where instructions say to drill holes = they'll be destroyed. Sure looked like those would be an ideal way to fasten the bar holding plates, but clearly not what they're for.? Parts breakdown shows my fences are the Anschlaglineal 550 mm, part # 430-007-400.? Is there a way to actually implement these things with this set of fence plates?

Jeff,
Are you missing this bolt-on piece to mount the safety bars (top view pic - bolt on part circled)?
It has been so long that I no longer remember if I got this (bolt on piece) with machine or when I ordered the safety bars.

 Thank you - Indeed, that is the piece I need. Kit comes with a series of stamped steel plates instead, so I guess I need to find out if there's a different kit for this style fence which includes the aluminum extrusion your images show. I'll get a message in to the shop to see if this can be worked out.? Next question - anyone know what this is for? was rolling around on the pallet, underneath the machine. Must note- packaging was fully intact, so this is loose stuff from factory.? ?thank you,
jeff ?

Looks like the bolt that secures the crosscut fence to the outrigger.

Okay- they also forgot to pack the 1100mm fence, so when that gets here, that piece will?make more sense.? Jeff

Unwanted advice is often - well, unwanted. Sorry if that is the case.? But investing in an Aigner fence, though not cheap, is close to essential IMHO. I waited three years to do that and now I scratch my head and wonder why I didn't do it right away - it's that good. The AIgner fence is definitely one of those "It's not about what you pay, it's about what you get for what you pay" items. For what it's worth. Regards Eric

Eric,? ? I agree, and am certain I'll have an Aigner sooner than later. My mistake in ordering those bars. They're actually for Hammer or "older" Felder machines. I've since put them to use on another shaper in the shop, and now enjoying a bit better performance on it. Good idea if any others here have an off-brand that could use improvement. Since it has two styles of mounting plate sets, if you've got aluminum fences and a pinch of ingenuity, you could utilize them on another machine as I have.?
