OK some further info. Imagine a box that is 20" wide by 15" deep by 3" high. It rides on 2 full extension drawer slides. I want to once the drawer reaches full extension to be able to drop the box...
Good afternoon everyone. I am looking to find a pullout shelf or slides that drop down at the end of their travel. I have and outdoor kitchen on my fifth wheel trailer. It has a griddle mounted on...
Patty, my experience was very similar to Jerry's regarding the cast and recovery. After the cast comes off the thumb will take awhile to become useful. It was probably six weeks after surgery before...
Good evening Patty. I had the surgery just about 1 year ago. I did the one with with the anchovy. I was in a splint for 2 weeks then a cast for 2 additional weeks. After the surgery there was PT. ...
Eugene I just recently went thru the same issue with a Felder FB510 that is approx. 3 years old. Felder gave me new tires and said they had problems with their supplier. 1st replacement set last...
Travis, a load calc is important but most companies do not do them and also would not know to include all the motor loads. Insulation is the key. The better insulated the smaller the unit can be. I...
Thomas, I think for what you are doing the Stihl homeowner version is the way to go. I have the Husqvarna version and it works very well. It is the 8 foot version. My wife uses it all the time with...
Well as it turns out something I read on the internet was true. I just heard back from tech support. Some FB510's In 2019 were made with too large of a tire. Felder is sending me 2 new tires. Problem...
Andrew, according to my manual it doesn't say anything about glueing on replacements so I assume they do not glue them from the factory. I am waiting for tech support at Felder to get back to me. I...
Good afternoon everyone. I posted to the Felder group but thought I would also ask here. I have a FB510 bandsaw purchased the end of March 2019. It has around 50-75 hours of use. I went to use it a...
Here is my setup on my old bandsaw. It worked fairly well. I could resaw up to 8' and 11" dia.

You will be fine with a 20A circuit. I have 3 different Felder machines with their 3KW motors and the same paper work that you have. Never tripped a breaker yet. Yes, the folks in Sacramento were not...
I am in California and it has been my experience that every time I pulled a permit the property was "reassessed" and my taxes went up. I have pulled 2 permits in the last 4 years. One for my RV...
In the installation instructions for the compressor it states that 12 gauge is the minimum wire size up to 75 feet. It also states check your local codes. As far as local codes trumping owners manual...
Mike, the aluminum tape will work well if you clean the metal first. There usually is a bit of oil film on the pipe from manufacturing. Mastic with cloth tape is called airballing. Not used too much...
Thanks everyone. This was certainly a major purchase for me.
Yes it has the silent power cutter head.
Matthew, regarding the guard. It is foldable in 2 places to keep it out of the way. It does go...
I think I have fallen down the rabbit hole. Approx. 1 year ago I purchased a Hammer K3 slider. Now my new jointer and bandsaw have arrived. A felder A941 jointer and a 510 bandsaw. Never in a million...
Yes it absolutely is ok. The size of your saw of your saw will somewhat dictate log sizing. With an additional table and sled I was cutting 12" dia by 8' log oak logs on my 18" Rikon. Not easy to do...
Jason, everyone has been providing good info so far. Regarding filter brand I wouldn't get hung up on a particular brand. It's not that critical for what we are doing. Merv rating above an 11 without...
Jason it is nice to have heating and cooling in your workshop.
What size system are you installing? This will help in filter selection. I also have a ducted heat pump for my shop. A 1" filter...
Question for those of you who have used these bits. Either the V groove or the one that looks like a T. Did you find that they worked well or were there issues like splintering the edge of the...
I would recommend a hot wire anemometer and read up on how to do a duct traverse. That will work well for what we are checking. If you want a little more accuracy also get a magnehelic and a pitot...
I have a Yamaha 5.1 receiver with a Polk 5.1 speaker system. Usually listen to Sirius radio thru Dish TV. Also have 42" TV for Dish. Not all of my time in the shop is woodworking!
Since my wife quit buying me stuff years ago I treated myself to a Felder A941 jointer and an FB510 bandsaw. Best Christmas ever!
