1.0 Introduction and Disclaimer
 The illustrations and tutorial
information contained in the following web pages
describe a series of methods to verify alignment, and
make specific adjustments to Felder saw and/or shaper
machines. This information is neither provided by,
nor sanctioned by
Felder USA or its
parent company. These techniques are simply a
collection of helpful hints based on the
experience of the author, and drawing from the
experience and teachings of other Felder users and field
technicians.
Perhaps the most practical use of this collection of web pages is to guide the new owner in understanding and verifying the commissioning process performed by a Felder technician. Indeed, some of the adjustments discussed in this set of web pages can lead a new user to bollix up an otherwise useful machine. Check with Felder before diving into any of the detailed adjustments yourself. For completeness, a list of the alignment checks and adjustments typically performed on a new machine by the Felder technician during commissioning can be found here in the commissioning checklist. The new user is encouraged to print a copy of this commissioning checklist and go through it with the technician during commissioning. Additional information on specific alignment topics can be found in the Files section of the Felder Owners Group. To send and email to the author - click here -----> David P. Best 22 May 2004 |
