Slider T Slot


 

I made some T nuts for the Felder slider. Unfortunately, I only have the Kappa 400 table to measure, and someone who purchased some for his B3 Hammer said they were too wide. So can someone tell me how many different tables are available from Felder? Also where I might find the dimensions of the T slots?
Thanks so much for your help.

Hi Bill,

As for how many configurations, a lot of different ones. I just finished printing some nuts for a bridge clamp I built for my machine, it’s an old F-channel slider. Compared to yours, it’s 20mm ?and 32mm wide like you show, but the lower step is 15mm tall, the upper step is 6mm tall, so 21mm total in height. You will need 6mm radius on the bottom corners, and a 2mm chamfer on the external corners between the upper and lower segment.

The old F-channel is one set of dimensions, the P-channel another, some of the format machines are different as well, then you have Hammer and a few odd tables on some of the 500 series machines. It’s a can of worms making stuff to fit them all….

Bill,

I just made a profile (using red oak) to insert in the slider of my B3.

The measurements for the piece I will use on my machine are:

21.8mm for the bottom width (32 on your drawing)
9.6mm for the thickness of the bottom wing (10.0 on your drawing, but I purposely made mine a little bit thinner)
11.0mm for the width of the groove (20mm on your drawing)

I hope this helps; let me know if you have questions.

Regards,

Jacques
