Hey thanks so much for the quick reply’s. I hadn’t received any notifications of the reply’s so I wasn’t aware of them. So sorry. I did replace both capacitors as they were both bulging and...
Hey I’ve got a new problem. My fs41 elite isn’t turning on like it should. It’s acting like it wants to turn the head but it just makes a sound and then eventually it will trip my breaker. So it’s...
Well that wasn’t it. So I’m still at a loss. I think it doesn’t go with this machine.
Oh interesting. I’ve seen those with the machines with fences that attach to the infeed side of the jointer but haven’t seen them with the center mounted fence though. I’ll check the table though...
Hey can anyone tell me what this mysterious accessory is for my planer joiner? I came with it but the previous owner didn’t know what it was. Possibly fir the mortiser? Maybe another tool all...
Okay. I’ll do that. Right now I have 4 and it’s good. But I’ll try two and let you know.
Sorry I can’t really understand your comments. However, I just installed my new carbide knives and I’ll say that it’s much better than the m42 knives as far as I can see. So that’s good. Anybody...
I ordered 4 carbide knives for the head. So we’ll see. I am thinking that I’ll use 4 rather than two.
Old dull blades or blades that have been filed away so they don’t touch the wood?
How about glue in joints? Like when I glue up panels and then plane them? Does that hurt the hss of + knives? I think I’m just getting carbide. Probably the helical head. Do you know how much...
Yes I think I’m going to try carbide Tersa to start and see how that goes. Two blades sounds like it will be good with two hss blades as dummies. I’d rather spend that to see how it machines. Does...
I can try it with carbide Tersa. Dummy blades are specialized to not cut? Where do you buy those at? I delta Dj 29 was a jointer not a planer so when I said I ran mdf it was edgeing or sometime...
I run these same boards through my dewalt planer with the stock blades and they give a better finish than these Tersa m42+ on a big dollar machine. I’m really dissatisfied. I bought my di20 and it...
See I never new that. I always run the boards through my old planers and jointers. So basically the hss and m42+ knives are not up to the task. If this little bit of paint on the ends of the...
I’m going to take a picture of the wood. Keep in mind this is after just using them for one pass on the planer. Do you know how to insert a photo?
They are 10 inch wide 3/4” s4s from my supplier. They are ready for using for the most part. I don’t use them from the factory but some I’m sure would. They are clean except the paint on the ends...
Thank you very much for all the insight. I have just discovered that I really miss my bird head on my Delta, DJ 20. As I have put in brand new M 42+ blades and have only run a few boards through...
Interesting. So the mobility kit is temporary in that very time you want to move the machine, it has to be lifted and the wheels loosened up so they fall down into position and then tightened up...
Oh okay. Great. Thanks. Good to know and I appreciate it
Hey thanks for all the advice on my fs41 elite. I’ve got another question, while I’m planing, can I change speeds while it’s on or shut off first? I’ve had two planets and they each had different...
My mobility kit has the wheels in the back always down touching the floor. Is this correct or should they somehow retract so the steel frame touches the floor? So the machine is angled slightly as...
I’m sorry that I didn’t respond sooner as I didn’t know that there was more comments Thank you for helping. The shims I got on Amazon, brass, and I’ll use them if I need to. I have used the new...
Okay thank you. And do you have to just loosen the bolts and slide in shims on each side of the bolts or do you need to remove the bolts? Also I just changed my knives and noticed the cuts I’m...
The picture was from the ad that I saw. It’s on my garage floor. But the floor isn’t perfectly flat and level. When you shim the hinge area, does the bolt have to be completely removed in order to...
