Installing my new (2006) felder CF-741 and FB-540 band saw

that is a awesome set up organized and cleaner then my house. nice view out the shop door I am jealous.

I have a Felder table saw. I made my own crosscut support
table out of an aluminum extrusion and saved like $500. I don’t
have the outrigger like you do, but a smaller little cantilevered
outrigger is fine for many boards and doesn’t try to hit you
in the groin too often. I’ll post pictures sometime.

I’d like to see how you made your cross cut support, Loren.

Very nice. Looks new from the pics. Started another chair yet?

It’s like new. he only made enough dust to fill the bin once then, unfortunately, be became too ill to work in the shop.

I started a chiar for my mom knowing that i would not finish it until around Christmas this year. I got the rockers, back braces, and seat glued up. How ‘bout you?

Must have been one real fine estate sale. Wish I was in Az.

It was in NM. Had to drive 650 miles round trip to get it. I ended up buying it sight unseen but it worked out fine.

I have a CF741 p like yours , have you tried the power planer table yet, it is really a nice feature on the machine. Once you get used to doing all operations at once the combo machine is nice to work with, my favourite part of the machine is the xroll slider. enjoy

I have tried the planer just to make sure it works and i like it. Do you have the shoe that fits on the end of the slider? it’s used to straight-line rough lumber. I have it but the wood can move quite a bit at the shoe. do you have the same issue?

wow!nice set up.enjoy.

-- It don't have to be straight,it's just a suggestion!!!

No, not yet. I need to get up to Charlotte or Asheville and buy some walnut. Not easy to find here in central SC. When I go I’m going to pull my trailer and stockpile some. I look forward to seeing yours around Christmas though.

-- Kevin, South Carolina

I agree, it’s a real nice setup you’ve got!

yes I have the same problem. I take the clamp for the slider and use it to hold a 2×2 about 10 inches long with 2 1/2 inch drywall screws driven in about every 2 inches. This device does not look as nice but when the end of the wood bites into those screws nothing moves.

Mike

That’s a good idea, Mike.

Great machines and equally impressive workplace!
