CF 741 Not Starting Up
5
Newish owner here. After a few weeks of not being able to start the saw, it did start recently, but now it's back to not starting. LED panel comes on. Tried disconnecting / reconnecting power of course. The yellow light referenced in the manual is not on. Suspecting the red cutoff button malfunction. I would like to access the button connection to diagnose or try bypassing it, but can't figure out how to get at it without taking the whole machine apart. Does anyone have experience removing this button / panel? Thanks!

AD531 Roller noise
6
Hi, My thicknesser/planer combo has recently started making a loud thumping noise accompanied by intense vibrating. I have isolated the sound to only when the rollers are engaged. Coincidentally I am also having trouble feeding timber through the thicknesser, I have to help it along with a bit of force and it often leaves marks on the timber. After doing some reading on the forums, I suspect it is a worn friction wheel causing this. I have tried to find a manual for the AD531 with no luck - does anyone have it? Otherwise I’m going for advice/instructions on what to look out for to fix this issue. I can upload a video of the sound too. Thanks ?

Ridge carbide dado on hammer c3 31
30
Hi everyone, I've got a hammer c3 31 on order (comfort option and dado enabled) and was planning on ordering a dado set for it. The consensus seems split between the felder/hammer dado set and the forrest dado king. There is scant mention of the ridge carbide 6"set milled to 30 mm which seems compatible with the c3 31. Any users out there who can vouch for the ridge sets? id like to order the box joint set aswell and both sets seem well made and cheaper than the felder/forrest alternatives. Thanks!

Spare Part for Anyone that Needs it.
8
Hi Everyone, I have this spare part that Felder sent me by mistake a number of years ago. I had ordered a spare dust chute that connects to the bottom of the dust shroud that surrounds the saw blade. Unfortunately I went to use it this week and found out that Felder had sent me the part for a different machine (I have a CF-731). I do not know what machine this fits, so if anyone can identify it and has a need just let me know and I'll send it to you. I'm not looking for any money for the part or shipping if you're in the US, just a good home for this part. Here are some dimensions: Hose connection is 100mm, the inside dimensions on the rectangular connection are 145mm and 50mm. The spacing for the bolts holes is 98mm center to center. Craig

BF-3 combination machine
5
Dear all, I have the chance to purchase a BF-3 combination machine from the 1980's. The price is 4000 euros. The machine is located 45 minutes from my small shop (30 square meters). The owner is a professional cabinet maker who is selling to upgrade to an additional combo machine, he has two including this one but also separate machines as he has employees. I don't have experience with Felder, nor with combination machines. I am a serious hobbyist and work mostly with hand tools. But, I would love to have a convenient and (I'm guessing) high quality series of machines to mill all of my furniture components before joinery. It would be a great way for me to build shop fixtures/furniture as well. The machine seems very well maintained and is fully functional. It has many of the accessories included but to be honest I don't know how many were available. I am also making some assumptions because of the heavy weight and nearly all parts being cast iron that the machine is very stable and good quality. My questions are whether this is a good investment and what are people's general impressions or personal experiences with Felder machines of this age? How is the machining and stability of the parts? I will go to check it out in person this upcoming week and check all surfaces with straight edges and check the functioning of each individual motor and machine. Any feedback is very much appreciated, thanks very much. Pictures are attached.

Workbench based on Rangate Lift Cart

#diy
#rangate
#shopbuild
Hey Folks! I built this lifting workbench on the Rangate lift cart. The workbench has a 3030 aluminum extrusion based torsion box that provides MFT table-style side clamping on all four slides. The base of the torsion box doubles up like a giant tray for temporarily holding tools and loose items while you work. If you want to watch the build: I've posted my first YouTube video here. The accompanying blog post is here. Thanks, Rohit Kulshreshtha

spiral cutter for older Felder
3
Hi, my second post. I forgot to ask, is it worthwhile fitting a spiral cutter to the planer / thicknesser on an old FB5 31. And, is there a direct replacement or is a special order required. Please excuse my ignorance, I am new to this. Thanks, Robert

#KF 700 S

#KF
Hello, I'm form city of Salto, Uruguay. We have a Felder KF 700 S, Due to a problem with the equipment, we connected the scoring unit directly with a push button. Now that we have the spare parts, we cannot understand the electrical diagram that comes with the equipment. We need to identify where to connect the 3 phase cables to the terminal block. If anyone knows or has the same model, we would appreciate a photo of the location of these cables. Thank you.

Resaw Bandsaw
14
I am hobbyist that is interested in purchasing a dedicated bandsaw. My budget and other constraints have me considering all of the following: Laguna LT18 Resaw Master, Felder FB 510, and SCM s540p. My constraints include that I am not interested in restoring an older bandsaw, and I do not have 3PH power (and do not want to go down that path for various reasons). These machines all cost similarly, have 1PH 4-5HP motors, and are close in size. I do not have much experience with resawing and have primarily looked to a family member with an MM16 to help me out in those circumstances. I have read here and elsewhere that many people think that tensioning a 1" blade to 25k is "the standard"...which it would appear that all of these machines are capable of. I imagine there are many more factors to consider as well...like customer support, quality of guides, etc. Does anyone have thoughts on these machines?

Maximum Pull-out Shelf Width
14
I have a frameless cabinet that is 44.5” wide and ~20” deep. I need to place pull out shelfs in the lower part of the cabinet. Is there any kind of slide that can accommodate this width? I can easily add a vertical partition to divide the width in half. Dimensioned drawing is attached. Thanks, Imran Malik IAM Wood Creations https://www.facebook.com/groups/362481112015700/?ref=share

Impeller Suppliers?
11
Good afternoon ! A friend who owns a small commercial cabinet shop asked if I had any idea where he could source a replacement impeller for his dust collection system. I told him about this group and that I would reach out for help. Two days ago, the system stopped working and threw the breaker . When they opened up the access to the cyclone they discovered that the aluminum impeller had disintegrated. The impeller is 17.5 inches in diameter and 7.5 inches in height. 1 3/8 shaft connected to a 15 hp motor. Any ideas / contacts appreciated. The unit is an AFS Cyclone but they are out of business. Thanks in advance. Tim House

Source for full Overlay Cabinet Hinges
15
What brand and model do the collective suggest for full overlay cabinet door hinges. We are talking the ubiquitous 35mm cup type. Here are the specifications that I think are relevant. The door frames will be 7/8 or 1” thick and 2.25” wide rail/stiles Cabinet sides will be ?” ply so slightly less than ?” The doors will have minimal gap 1/8” Doors on each end will be opening next to the walls, so will like just over 90 deg positive stop, 95 deg? Will add filler strips of appropriate width to allow appropriate door opening Inside doors have room to open as wide as possible so it can be whatever the standard is, 135 deg?

Cabinet Door Mechanical Push Devices
3
Does anyone have a preference between the Blum and Salice versions of these devices? I've used the Blum Tip-On (spring-loaded pushrod) in the past but the recent discussion of Salice led me to look at their version. It looks bulkier but perhaps more robust, especially for larger doors. Thanks in advance, Fred

Cappadocia
9
Hello everyone. I wanted to share my new coffee table with you. It is named after an ancient city in Anatolia called Cappadocia. Cappadocia means Land of Free Horses in Ancient Roman language. The legs were hand carved from white oak. It was painted with antique bronze statue patina. K?k walnut, zebrano, mazel and ambanyo root were used on the table. There is a hemisphere structure made of zebrano under the table. It was fun and difficult to make. I wish everyone good work.

Sapele twisting after processing
22
Hi all, I'm sure there are folks here that have processed plain sawn Sapele (sometimes called African Mahogany). Has anyone experienced stability issues with plain sawn Sapele? I came across 100 bdft of the wood (5/4) 6 months ago and it's been in the shop acclimating (shop has HVAC). I would have rather had quarter sawn but they were out. This morning I planed down a board, taking equal number of passes on each side for cabinet face frames, they also started moving after dimensioning them. This movement is 0.25" or more and some boards are moving in the face and edge directions. The face frame grain looks uniform and the end grain doesn't appear to directional changes. At this point I'm not sure if the lack of stability is characteristic of plain sawn Sapele or just the board I picked. I generally don't experience this with White Oak, Cherry or Walnut. I'm doing another test where I process this material more slowly to see if the woods behavior changes, but this will take weeks. I experienced this issue before when processing Zebra wood for a project. Thanks in advance, Darrell Miller Chico, Tx

Clear Vue Cyclones going out of business
3
I accidentally hit an old bookmark in my browser, and discovered that the Clear Vue Cyclones company is shutting down, because the owners are retiring. They say that have a limited inventory of parts that they're selling off. If you have a Clear Vue cyclone, and were thinking of replacing a part, now's the time to act. -Michael Wolf Tahoe City, CA

Combi-Core or MDF Skin Plywood
16
Had a private conversation with Brett Wissel little while ago and for paint grade he recommended plywood with MDF/HDF skins. Combi-core is also an option. Problem is that no one in Indianapolis stocks these but they will order it. This means I must be completely certain about what I am ordering. Here is what I am after: Size = 4x8 Prefer 1” thickness but settle for ?” Wood core is necessary due to Murphy bed HW I would really like it to come primed Ideally, I would like enough detail so that I can place the order. Thanks, Imran Malik IAM Wood Creations https://www.facebook.com/groups/362481112015700/?ref=share
