Felder CF741 review


 

Hi all,
Just thought i would post a link to my latest video. It's a review on the CF741 so should be of interest to anyone considering this type of machine.

Already watched it this morning - great video as usual Bryce! I bought a second hand B3 Perform just before Christmas and whilst it’s no match for the CF741, it’s perfect for me as a competent DIY’er.?

Thanks for taking the time to make your videos, they speak volumes for the quality of work you do.

Could you do a video on how and when to use the curved milling hood? I noticed one on the wall in your video today and having watched all your content so far (I think!) I don’t remember seeing this bit of kit in action.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Morgan,
Thanks for watching the videos.
The Hammer machines are seriously capable machines, and like most machines of that calibre, are often only limited by the user.?
The curved hood is a very handy bit of kit for doing template work on the shaper. You can see it in action in the shaper part of this latest video where i'm shaping a regency leg. I will have to do another video in the shaper series that covers this type of work. It's not unlike using a router with a top or bottom bearing, but there are a few considerations with set up and jig design to follow as the consequences of a kick back on the shaper can be far more serious.
Regards,
Bryce

Hi Morgan,
is a video that goes part way to explaining the hood for curved work. As i write this, i am thinking i should go into more depth on the hood itself, & so will try to incorporate more detail in the next video on doing curved work on the shaper involving the use of rub collars including jig design.

Bryce,

Thanks so much for the video, it’s cleared up my understanding of the hood - I bought mine at auction recently and now realise I don’t have the ring fence part, just the hood itself. Given how often I’m likely to use this, I’ll order the ring fence part rather than get into rub collars, as whilst I can see they’re useful, I also see that I have more scope for adjusting the depth when using a ring fence.

Anyway, thanks so much for taking the time to help, it’s very much appreciated!

Cheers, Morgan.
