Thanks for your videos, they’re great. I’m looking at Felder gear down the road and was thinking about the saw/shaper combo and jointer/planer combo as two units instead of the all-in-one. If space wasn’t a factor, would you have split the setup or does the ability to have the power feeder available for the jointer make the difference?
Hi @jcheveran, If space wasn't an issue, i would likely go with all separate machines. Having said that, when i was looking at upgrading from the CF531, having the ability to use the power feeder on the jointer was a very big factor. I am jointing big heavy long boards, & set up the power feeder to do it on a regular basis. It really does make a big difference. If you don't run a lot of big, long and heavy boards over the jointer, then i wouldn't take it into consideration. Having separate machines is certainly simpler if you need to change from one process to another for one off jobs, but i have to be honest and say that having to change things up with the combination machine probably only costs me a few minutes each day, & less if i plan things well. The other consideration is if you will be working with others. If that's the case, and you have the space, then it's a no brainer, go with all separate machines. Thanks for watching!
I like to use the fence with twisted boards Bryce, I’m halving the ‘rock’ same as you but I’m putting pressure on the fence as a sort of brace I guess, and more pressure to fence than down if that makes sense. Works for me, maybe I’m just weird but 😂👍🏻
