It’s quite different to modern day machines. The fence adjustability is great and for a small machine, it has a tilting spindle. Clever design. The safety guard is a one part design. A two piece design that also pushes (featherboards) the piece to the fence is better, in my opinion, as it allows to safely work with narrow pieces. Theres no sliding table with a perpendicular fence either. And the rotation is not reversible. But that one knob on the top that allows the whole fence to be precisely adjusted is worth it alone.
Die Fräse scheint in hervorragendem Zustand zu sein. Wenn ich jetzt vom Produktionsdatum 1990 ausgehe, so hat das Teil inzischen 31 Jahre seinen Dienst geleistet. Und so wie die Maschine dasteht, wird wohl auch in 30 Jahren noch damit gearbeitet werden können. 1000 Dank für das hochinteressante Video. Und ja, ich habe es bis zum Ende durchgehalten :-)
I had nearly 15 years in the woodworking game and used a vast array of machinery - everything from table saws and drills to CNC Routers and multi function machines that would fill a supermarket and I can say without doubt the one machine I hated working on was the spindle moulder.
My GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) from guitarplaying is slowly moving over to the woodworking world.. It wasnt the most financially sound decision, to start a career in this field 😂
One of the best machines in the woodworking would, I’ve spent thirty odd years using and making items on a spindle moulder the tasks are endless, very well explained Mr Bauer.
Too bad You never made Part 2 about this shaper. I would have bet You added a sliding table and wired it to have a reversible spindle rotation. Also, as it does not have a parallel T-slot in the table, it would benefit from a couple threaded holes in the tisch that would allow to use featherboards that push narrow pieces to the fence.
That's a nice machine. In Denmark, we see them for sale in the range of 400-1000 EUR, often with a powerfeed included in the high end of that price range.
That is a very nice machine!! For many reasons i like this kind of old machines, if they are well maintained they last forever!!! I wish i cand find one in the next village too!!!
I might have never purchased my Felder if this machine had been in the Chicago area. Like your speech and nature really sell the presentation. What were the words you were saying when the machine would not adjust like wanted??
Driving through the woods.. is that where your shop is hiding? Ha. I enjoyed where you defined industrial machines and explained weight being part of it. It made me think of what assholes Bridgeport mills are to move. Not the most fun I’ve ever had. Even small mills are jerks.
Intriguing... I would call this machine professional as opposed to industrial; It's way too accurate and robust for hobby. I definitely could never afford such a lovely thing.
What kind of building is your shop in? Is it a space you rent out of a larger commercial building? I'm trying to do something like this in the US, around Washington, DC.
I'm wondering if the start-stop button was added after, the old shop i got my doors from had this machine, identical in every aspect short of the start-stop button which in its case, was a pedal with a dead-man's switch.
I too have been looking out for a spindle moulder but without any success. I am envious of you right now. I am sure you will get a lot of use out of this machine.
We had a power outage at work once. When it came back on I couldn't figure out why the bandsaw was burning and not cutting, then when I used the panelsaw I realise it was all backwards. The power company had made a mistake somewhere.
I have a jointer/planer combo machine of this make way over in New Zealand. 240v single phase machine. It's the same colour and I can see similar construction of various parts such as the fences and the motor.
@@mastex5575 That's not the point. Kinda childish to use an adblocker to 'think' you got rid of advertising. The problem lies in the fact that Google thinks they can make money of other peoples content. They try to do that by inserting insane amounts of stupid adverts just to anoy people into buying a subscription. Google is evil and I'd rather spend my time at lbry nowadays.
@@CoselB Almost no one outside Germany knows about this manufacturer, but everyone knows about Metabo. The more you know about something the stronger you can relate to it and presumably he wants viewers to watch the part two :) Why does it matter on which web site he found it or where the previous owner lives? + I said "perhaps".
