Kipp lever on 731

 

One of the kipp, levers whcih secure the planer bed on my CF731 gave up the ghost. I orered a replacement from Austria . It arrived today and the shaft of the new kipp lever is 1mm thicker in diameteter? than mine. I've asked fot a replacement but don't have much? hope
I am not engineering inclined but my qustion is how difficult would it be to ream out the hole in my machine to suit the new kipp lever. Access is simple so if a drill and bit would do the job i'm good to go, aways assuming I can source a suitable19mm bit. I don't want ro start this and fail as I would end up having to replace he whole handle assembly.
So would it be safe to allow a rank amateur at this ?
?
I think my 731 is nearly due for rplacement but at my age thats not going to happen. My recent problem with a non starting planer/thicknesser has been resolved. It required a replacement power relay (Omron Plug In Power Relay, DPDT ) is what the invoice says. I watched the engineer , a man from Venezuela would you believe, carry out the repair, a 5 minute job. Hopefully if it fails again I will be able to fix it my self
?
Thanks? for all help given

Paul, probably better to turn down the Kipp lever shaft than drill your machine. Can you post some photos? ?

Most styles of Kipp levers are avaiable on Amazon and other places here in the USA.?
?
What is the outside diameter the threads you need?? M8 M10 ?
 


Have bought a few versions from this page, never been disappointed.

Many, but not all Kipp levers on Felder equipment have custom shaft sizes and features that are non-standard which is why I suggest posting some photos illustrating the specific lever and what it¡¯s used for on your machine. ?I can turn down the Kipp lever Felder sent you and I also have an account with KippUSA if it comes to that. ?

Given my engineering experience I don't? think I'll try turning? that down. All I have is a wood turning lathe

the hardness of the steel looks to be 5.8 metric standards.? Should be able to have any machine shop to turn it down to specs rather easily. The shaft is burnished smooth.
