Anyone have experience with the Felder slotting cutter? Looking to use it as a joinery blade for cutting tenons, bridle joints anywhere i might want a flat bottom cut. Is there an advantage to the slotting cutter over a rip with FTC?

Wider blade with an exact 4mm vs 3.4mm. Seems like a super niche product to me. Went with a flat top tip blade but haven’t had the opportunity to use it yet, all my cuts have been managed by the Felder adjustable groovers this far.?

Hi Michael, tooth width is 5 mm so suppose the main use would be for drawer bottoms

I own and have used both the 4 and 6mm slot cutters you call out. ? They work fine provides you employ a backer board when cutting into end-grain for joinery - chip-out is very severe without one. ?My use with them has been drawer bottom slots, as well as cutting finger joints for small boxes. ?They do not produce the same quality cuts as the adjustable groovers with side-nickers such as the one shown in the last photo below. ?I also have a couple of Leitz saw blades I had custom ground for flat-bottom groove cutting at even narrower widths. ?What else would you like to know?

I bought the 230mm option to use on my Felder BF631 earlier this year to help with making some large tenons for my homemade workbench. I found it much safer to be able to clamp down the tenons flat (with a backer board) on a simple jig locked to the sliding table.I forgot to take photos of the jig but attached are some photos of the tenons prior to making the shoulder cut on the table saw (also flat clamping, no handling workpieces high up away from the table), and afterwards, as part of the frame and workbench. Very pleased with the cutter, was able to cut tenons around 80mm long, perhaps even a bit more, and very stable in the spindle.

With the pin holes on the blades would you be able to offset the teeth so you can overlap them? Thanks Dave

You can use bushings that are bored like used in dado cutters on three outsides to offset the studs or pull the studs out on shaper it won’t beam issue Designing and building for 50 years

@Mark, you can see that blade in action in this thread: /g/felderownersgroup/topic/stool_progress/77800964?p=,,,100,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,100,2,0,77800964The stool I was building is now finished. The slots (20 of them) at the top of the stool is made with that blade.

Very cool. I make rocking chairs and can use this idea! Where did you source the materials?

@jonathan, it's fir-tree. The guys who mounted the fence for us this summer told me that these poles are between 80-100 years old. They grow really slow in the shade of larger fir-tree. @Mark, do you mean the aluminum extrusions? I took what I had at hand. The large profile at the back is a 45x90 mm Bosch Rexroth profile. I think you have something called 8020 in the states. It seems to be called called 8020 regardless of the actual dimensions. I don't know what the numbers stand for. The plates at the bottom are cut-offs from the bed of my CNC router. I cut it off and built a recessed vise for holding small pieces. I have seen similar profiles at Bangood. I'm sure they are easily sourced from a lot of places. And.. if the vise part cought interest, I'll attach an image of this project.

8020 is the name of the a large manufacturer of this type of aluminum extrusion. They make it in a lot of sizes, mostly metric.
You can also buy overstocks of their stuff on ebay.
