Glad it helped

Using the same technique that you would use to align your vise to the way travels - using a stationary dial indicator against the edge of the square, then moving the table and adjusting the square position to get zero variation as the table is moved. Basic alignment technique. ua-cam.com/video/r50TYp98Vgk/v-deo.htmlsi=Hmdf_4w9h3umaYL-

@David_Best thanks for your reply.....so you clock the square in one axis first, then run the dial indicator a long the square at 90 degrees to the plane you clocked in.

I’m sorry, but I have been unable to parse your question into something clear from your rambling comment. Please clarify what you need help with. I have a line a few machines with linear rails, but not a Haas.

@@David_Best is there a trick or a way to estimate how thick a shim to put where My idea is being my other nova base and arm with another indicator and loosen the bolts toGet the spindle sweep and the drop from my other indicator will give me a good estimate on where to put what thickness of shim

@@David_Best but I'm gonna use my starrett no 199 master level to double check level twist and bow if any it's got 4 level screws on 6 inch diameter pads I made

I’ve made the shim thickness calcs several times. You can use simple triangular trigonometry calculations or you can draw it up in CAD and dimension the resulting gaps to bring things into alignment. It’s just geometry.

@@David_Best nice job thanks I just been working so much and gotta baby also so hard I focus when your full time job is a machinist also But I'll def do that

I'm fully aware. Lots has changed in Fusion since I did this video 2 years ago. Based on feedback from insiders like me and others, lots has improved - especially the joint command and setting joint limits.

Three indicators is totally sufficient. With four you will be chasing your tail and go crazy trying to get everything perfectly aligned.

Agree. This type of joint facility where you can add motion to any type of joint (including “as built”) is relatively new in Fusion and how I would present it if I remade the video today. The new joint facility is a response to specific feedback from users such as myself. It is a huge improvement.

Yes, grounding has changed to "Pin" with the introduction of Ground to Parent. Fusion now automatically generates a "ground to parent" attachment unless you disable that feature in the settings - which I have done. I find the need "ground to parent" very obscure and difficult to know when to use it. Since I have never needed that feature before, I turned it off. More detail here - including my comment about how obscure this feature is: ua-cam.com/video/nIf112c7HFQ/v-deo.htmlsi=zS4Lp7_AnzpOgjzW

Turn up your hearing aid - I said “these nuts”. Do you have anything actually useful to add here?

Yes I I am checking commentary here. The important thing is that the cast-iron table is flat. I mean dead flat as in one single plane. The cast iron top becomes the reference surface to which you align the sliding table, so if the reference surface is not flat, you’re chasing your tail. The easiest way to ensure the cast iron tops is flat is to level it precisely along all four edges. If all four edges of the cast-iron top are level then the surface is flat - or at least as flat as you’re going to get it. The cast top doesn’t have to be level per se, but it does have to be as flat as possible. Cast iron surfaces are easy to twist into the shape of a banana if your machine is not sitting on a flat floor surface (Felder machine chassis are flexible enough to conform to the floor surface). So I always recommend putting the machine on adjustable leveling feet and using those leveling feet to adjust the top to a flat surface. But the cast iron top is suspended at all four corners via adjustable studs which attach it to the machine chassis. You can use those four adjustment points to bring your cast-iron top into a near perfectly flat condition. Once that’s accomplished, you can move onto aligning the sliding table surface to the cast-iron top surface. Hope this helps.

Did you read my response? Was it helpful? If not, let me know and I'll do a write-up for you. More resources are here: davidpbest.com/publications-and-videos#felder

I have more thorough information on my web site here: assets.zyrosite.com/YanMoZDqRrS1lagy/calibrating_the_digital_crosscut_stops_on_a_felder-YanMQQ25pDSEnaQ6.pdf Read the PDF, and check the parameters in your stop per the document. Your stop has either the _rSto_ or F_AbS parameter incorrectly set.

It depends on the machine, the size of the sliding table, and how out-of-level your floor is. In general, the Felder machines all have a machine chassis that is flexible, so if you're floor is flat, you should be fine. But if it's not flat or you move it to staggered elevations because of cracks in the concrete, etc, then you could have ongoing sliding table alignment distortion.

On larger machines like the sliding table saw, I generally pay to have Felder commission the machine so that if there are missing parts, damaged parts, or parts that are out of tolerance (happens a lot), then there isn't finger pointing. But as soon as the tech leaves, I do a complete realignment of basically everything.

I'm not sure I understand your question. What do you mean when you say "protruding drillings"? Are you looking to add drilled holes to your cabinet model for the hardware?

I figured it out. I hadn't grounded the cabinet rail. This is going to be great!

@@janodi1155I was just going to ask if you had one of the components grounded. WTG !!!

David, when you "import into current design" and attach to a "wall", your drawer slide still animates. When I do it, I have to add the ground on the cabinet rail again other wise all 3 rails move as a group. Is re-grounding the cabinet rail once it is imported something you did, but didn't show? Or am I hitting a limit on the free version? Or doing some other newbie thing wrong!

@@janodi1155How did you "attach" the slide to the "wall" of your cabinet? In my example, I used a RIGID joint command to anchor the cabinet rail to the wall of the cabinet. I used a point on the face of the cab rail component (middle front position of the face that will become flat against the cabinet wall) as the "from" and used the point I created in the sketch as the "to" position for the joint. Assuming the cabinet side (wall) is grounded in space, the cab rail should be anchored to the cabinet wall, and you shouldn't have to ground it again. My guess is a) either your cabinet side (wall) is not grounded, or b) you specified the wrong "from" point (called "joint origin") on the cab rail for the joint. I recommend you watch Tyler's video here: ua-cam.com/video/WRhM0815g4M/v-deo.html

@@David_Best David, that helped a lot. Thank you for taking the time to take me to the next level! Jim

Thanks. But wait - there's more. Go here: davidpbest.com/publications-and-videos

I'm glad. Hope you have check out my other stuff: davidpbest.com/publications-and-videos

That's like looking at my expensive DLSR camera and saying "it must take great pictures".

Unlike the lower carriage, the upper extrusion of the sliding table is very flat and rigid.

There is no rule on this - it all depends on what technique you are using to profile the material. Generally I take the cutter profile depth and add 2mm to that. If I'm using a back fence, I set up the machine to profile and bring to width in the same operation. If I'm profiling against the shaper fence, I will stagger the outfeed fence so that the material coming off the cutter, which is now 2mm less wide, has a fence plate to rest against - that way the material doesn't cock outward as it's forced against the outfeed fence by the feeder. Hope this helps. Thanks for viewing.

@@David_Best thanks so much for getting back to me. It's tricky to learn this stuff by ones self in the shop -- good thing for great youtubers like you!

@@Simonfrios You're welcome. You can reach me through my new web site if you have questions: davidpbest.com

Glad you liked it. The sliding table on your Altendorf is a completely different mechanical structure. You will enjoy a different set of issues than are covered here. Best of luck.

Oh joy ! can not find anything about the altendorf.. I have ordered some dial test indicators to just check over how it is at the moment, if its way out I may need to pay for an engineer to look over it@@David_Best

Sill waiting for an email. Happy to help.

It's coming. Once you see how, you'll slap your head and say "Doh!'.

Thanks for the encouragement - I'll be making more videos soon that go through the entire process.

what about it?

@@David_Best Thank you for the great video. I Just used it for a project. I put this timestamp here just to get to bookmark this part of the video

@@TROYOSTRANDER Ah, glad it was useful to you. More coming. But Fusion has generalized the joint command so that travel method and limits can now all be set in a single operation. The technique is the same but no longer requires so many steps if you want to put it all into one joint operation.

@@David_Best I would love to see how you handled the opposite handed side?

I'll be doing a new series of videos that address your question. But the simple answer is to position the drawer boxes accurately using the move/align command, then establish an as-built joint between the drawer side and the slide element that attaches to the drawer.

Was hoping you had started the new series after finding this video. I was unsuccessful attaching the drawer to to slides after alignment using the "as built joint" but I got it to work just but creating a ridgid group with just the drawer rail and the drawer itself. Not sure if they're any cons to doing it that way but works for me.

@@3s-Woodworking I will be doing a complete series in a few weeks.

I was specifically looking for a single-dose flat burr grinder. There are many choices, but I followed the advice found in these videos: ua-cam.com/play/PLxz0FjZMVOl2cq1ML2926rZk8zOAyL0uS.html I'm very pleased with my choice.
