Delta Baby Feeder Circuit Board Replacement

[William Hodge]

The circuit board on this feeder is not working, and new ones are not available. Do the Grizzley circuit boards work in this feeder?

[Dave Sabo]

I don't see why not , they gotta come out of the same factory.

I suspect you're about to boldly go where no man has gone before though.

I believe Co-matic is the company that makes powerfeeders for Grizzly, Delta, Infinity, and others. If Grizzly doesn't have the board then maybe Baileigh will. I'm not sure if there's a dealer in the US for Co-Matic. There's also the possibility to repair the board depending on what's broken.

What does the board do? I am not aware that it is more then a simple scr feed control. Probably not even a reverse function.

...Shopgearinc sells Comatic products. Might be worth a try?

[William Hodge]

Thank you for the information. I'm going all in, where no man has gone before.

By looking up Co-Matic, I found that Grizzley sells the complete motor control assembly for $86.00. It's worth it to me to not have to repair a circuit board.

Meanwhile, Ihave another feeder coming from Grizzley, because I use that little feeder all the time. Having two would mean I don't have to move a feeder between a shaper and the rabbetting table saw.

I also have a Delta one but it's missing the gear that meshes with the teeth on the shaft. It's not needed but I'll buy one sooner or later. It's too bad Delta is dying a slow death and parts are no longer available for a number of their tools since they were sold by so many companies.

Um , Delta was killed off years ago.

You're dealing with the corpse or resurrection, depending on your perspective.

Could be easier just to buy a used feeder. Just my thoughts.

Good idea.
I'm getting a new feeder from Grizzley. If the parts look the same, I'm going to buy an $85. motor control from Grizzley.

I wish that there were a forum out there dealing with Asian Wood Working Machines, AWWM. Perhaps that UnisawA100 guy could start a side project. Apologies to any fans of American Woodworking Machine Company.

Oh, I don't think so.

I rarely see these used, and even when I have , theyre snatched up really quick.

Of couse, I've been wrong before and there may be a glut of baby feeders in your neighborhood.

[Bill Dufour]

First one that came up.

Can't say ive seen many baby feeders on the used market, but 1hp units always seem to be plentiful.

I've thought about a baby feeder for a router table. Baby feeders weigh around 30 lbs. which might work on a stout cabinet style router table. The larger power feeders are I'm pretty sure too heavy. For example, Grizzly G4179 1/2 h.p. shipping weight 107 lbs. That wouldn't cut it on my router table. Grizzly's G4173 baby power feeder's shipping weight is 27 lbs. That could work, the question is 1/8 h.p. enough to be useful for things like trim and cabinet door rails and stiles.
