Digital Read Out for the crosscut fence on my Felder CF741

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Adding a DRO or digital readout to your crosscut fence may not be as expensive or difficult as you might think.
Here is the DRO that i used. www.ebay.ca/itm/164748736484?...

    Nice! I put one on the rip fence side of my KF700 and it works so well I'm planning to put one on the slider as you have as well.

    Awesome Ron, I am thinking about also putting one on the rip side, it might be a little more messing around though as the far end of the table lifts up when using the thickness planer.

    Hi Byce, I have just been given an old panel saw originally sold by KAMRO (I understand it is a rebadged Altendorf and sold as budget machine into new Zealand and Australia). Is your DRO on your sliding fence still performing well, I think I might try it

    Hi @alanmooney, Thanks for watching. So far so good i'm glad to say. It's been almost a year of use and so far i haven't had any issues! To be honest, for the money, it's worth just buying one to see if it works for you.

    Hi again Bryce. Thanks for another useful video. I've already set a DRO up on the rip fence for our KF700 but I'm also struggling working out the details for mounting the bracket and sensor for the crosscut.. Also, I notice that the end nut that you drilled and tapped rotates when you 'flip' the stop - does this cause any problems? any further images or explanation would be really helpful. Thanks

    Hi Tim, The bolt that i drilled and tapped doesn't actually rotate, the flip stop spins on it without it moving. At least that's how it works on my flip stops. I have three of them. If yours is spinning, maybe try taking it apart and see if there is something not in the right order with the washers etc. If you need, i could have a look at the order of them and let you know.

    @@brycecomerwoodworks Hi Bryce. Thanks for your reply. The stops look similar (if not the same) but ours definitely rotate. I came across another post where someone said they introduced a bearing into the mounting to counteract the rotation - so I guess i'm not the only one encountering the same problem. yep i wonder if there's some way of arranging the washers etc to 'decouple' it although we've never altered it so I'm guessing this is how it came from the factory. I'm guessing your's is a newer machine so it's possible they've altered/improved things (ours is 2004 model..). Again thanks for your input. Tim

    @@wawmsey1 That's interesting. My old machine was the same as this, infact, the flipstop i have the DRO on is from that machine. It was built in 2011. The new ones are the same, so maybe it was changed some time after your machine was built. Another option would be to buy another flipstop to put it on. An extra flipstop is super handy. I have 3, but most of the time i could get away with just 2.

    @@wawmsey1 It might be worth pulling it apart to see if you can add some super heavy grease, or something that will stop it from rotating? I know mine are very tight in the aluminium part & they have a very sticky grease on them.

    Hi, great video. I have the unit and a Felder k975. I am struggling with the mounting of the sensor and unit. Could you show me an image of the brackets that you made to mount both the sensor and the unit itself. Many thanks, James

    Hi James, If you can send me an email i'll send you some photos. bryce@brycecomerwoodworks.com I've also got a video in the works on a DRO for the rip fence. A fairly easy thing to do i would imagine on the K975, but not quite so easy on the CF741s. Thanks for watching.
