    felder machine dust exraction advice

    Thanks for all the tips /advice, especially the badger one..... :D Custard, as you say, I think it may be quicker and simpler to bite the Felder bullet and buy the adapters, then I should be able to use this: http://www.felder-tooling.co.uk/8head-0 ... 029-head20 to then connect to standard...

    felder machine dust exraction advice

    Hi, I have a CF741 universal machine and would like to know how anyone with similar machine gets around the problem of the outlet points for the extraction being the wrong size to connect easily to standard reducers. I have to sleeve them to match with tape and bits of correx, which works, but I...

    Women drivers

    The one that gets my goat the most is when there is a junction with two lines of traffic coming from opposite directions, both waiting to turn right across the other. Instead of simply turning across the face of each other, they will attempt to turn through the waiting traffic coming the other...

    Women drivers

    It was just complete lack of skill........that was a really tame corner and the bike could have gone around it at that speed plus 50% all day long..............when you learn to ride a bike on a track, you will be amazed at how far you can lean and fast you can corner. The guys was just riding...

    Women drivers

    It's to do with their brains, ( and before anyone jumps in, I know that there are exceptions and it's not true across the board, both ways, with men and women) but women generally do not have as good spacial awareness as men, hence the problems judging spaces , parking etc with many women...

    Anyone interested in making some pieces for a job?

    Hi, fair, points, I did not mean to come across as being irate etc...I was genuinely surprised! - From reading here there are so many threads with people wanting to get into this kind of work etc....and plenty of professionals who would turn this around very easily. Here is a crappy sketch...

    Anyone interested in making some pieces for a job?

    Hi, we are hugely busy here and have 5 bespoke kitchen projects in the queue, one of them the client keeps changing design and its kind of falling outside of the remit of the stuff my usual guy does. ( sprayed modern handless kitchens and built in stuff) Although I would love to do myself, I...

    Safest way to rip boards in half?

    Is there any way to avoid wood moving after you have cut it ? I have had several experiences of very well dried and good quality timber bending when cut down from larger stock. I generally buy stock at approx 50mm thick and 100 - 150mm wide. When cut down to smaller sections, despite the main...

    Bandsaw drift

    Well, I tweaked and re set the fence. I adjusted the tracking a little to see what effect it had on the drift and which way it was correcting it, then adjusted the track until I had got rid of the drift. the blade now sits approx 5mm further forward than it did before, its not centralized, more...

    Don't want to be a plumber any more

    I had a similar experience to Steves plumber once......involving a saniflow toilet.......pump failed and there was around 5 foot of 4 inch waste pipe filled up with number 2's............the pipe ran in a void and we had disconnect the end and gradually decant it into rubble sacks while lying...

    Bandsaw drift

    On my machine (FB610) none of the replacement blades I have used (only two so far, both from Ian) seem to tension correctly at the point indicated on the dial. The current blade ( the one I am having trouble with setting up) seems very solid and still has a few graduations to go to where it says...

    Bandsaw drift

    Hi Bob, the blade is approx 20mm wide...not sure of the TPI or name, I went with Ian's recommendation! I am cutting kiln dried stock, no fresh timber and the blade is clean as a whistle, so no culprit there. Steve, should I adjust the blade towards the front to adjust tracking in a particular...

    Bandsaw drift

    I just had a very frustrating few hours the other day battling with my new bandsaw. It's a Felder so pretty good quality and when I got it new about 6 months ago, worked fine, I have changed the blade twice now. The last time ( few weeks ago) I went from an approx 9mm blade to a wider ripping...
