      I ended up choosing the Hammer K3 over Jet, Holzkraft, Bernardo and other such names here in Germany mostly because of Marius' original video review of the saw.. despite Jet being my go-to brand in Canada. Finding out that Felder care enough to respond by taking this small criticism seriously is the icing on the cake.
      I received my saw last week, and found everything was in order and properly tested according to the data sheets provided, though someone at the packing stage forgot to add the adjustable feet. Because I have a disgracefully uneven workshop floor, they would not have been enough anyway. Had to design and weld up a new system that would support wheels and give me a wider range of adjustment.
      If anyone would like a photo or dimensions, shoot me a message.

    Great solution. One thing I might change would be to give the adjusting cam some sort of distinct pointer so you could track if it was moving on its own over time. That could be as simple as a scribe line on the cam's handle.

    To put the nylon nuts on when there is nothing to grip onto on the brass rod. you can cut a slot in the end of the brass rod to accept a flat screwdriver.

    Gut gelöst - Das gleiche Problem hatten wir bei unserer Felder in der Firma, war genauso *piep* gebaut.

    Great Job! I had the Hammer Sliding table saw and then stepped up to the larger K500P Felder and I just sold it at a massive loss.
    Felder is a good company, but there are so many little things which stop their products in my mind from being totally GREAT products.
    The Hammer line is hobby line and as you mentioned they need to shave cost everywhere.
    Keep your great posts coming, I am woodworker for 45 years and like seeing a young person taking time to work with extreme detail.

  • @MsSomeonenew

    Looks like a last minute throw in solution from the manufacturer, I'm fixing those all the time as I buy low end tools, but at this price range it deserves quite a few harsh words.

    I'm sure you have solved a problem for a lot of people and educated others of us that think Felder's engineering is faultless. I don't own a saw like this but would love to have one. No matter the quality of the saw, it can be improved. This video has inspired me to take another look at my current saw's settings to make sure they are still square.

  • @deoriamade852
    @deoriamade852 8 років тому +1

    Thanks for the video Marius! I have the same saw, and since day one have had the same problem... My work around has been to do the 5-cut test every time I need to make a crosscut, and while I've gotten pretty efficient at it, it's no way as quick as how the manufacturer planned for this feature to work. It's such a pain that I've gone so far as to shop around for a new table saw, but seeing your video gives me renewed hope! ... You should consider making and selling them to the Hammer community! I know I'd buy one!

  • @tonylorentzen

    Lovely fix. Btw. you could have just slotted the end of the brass rod to hold it with a flathead screwdriver while securing it with the locknut :)

  • @daikuone
    @daikuone 8 років тому

    I have a suggestion for you, since I own a Felder BF7-41(Yea, I am old school!). Since you have a steel small extension table, you could drill it out and add a 90 degree fixed fence on top of it, if you really want repeatable accuracy versus a removable cross cut fence. Yea, you loose the measurement fence, but I am sure you could come up with a replacement fence as well with your CNC. I would say most of the time I keep my fence at 90 degrees, and for angles, I am more than likely using 45 or 30/60, all of which can be accomodated by making a wood triangle that sits in front of the home made cross cut fence. Simple and effective as well. Also, remember that when using hardwoods and not plywood, you are going to get wood movement, so you need to accomodate that in your designs also, so metalworking accuracy isn't always necessary.

  • @mitchling6905

    Hi Marius
    I have a C3 -31 Perform here in the UK. I to have had the same issue with this flip stop . I have challenged Felder about this and they replaced the whole unit about 12 months ago.
    Sadly the same fault has now developed again.
    I have even sourced replacement spring washers from the USA to try to fix the problem but it is only a short term fix.
    Like you I find this extremely frustrating. I find that Felders attitude is that the machine comes with an outrigger table which is the more accurate and better method of guaranteeing an exact 90 degree cut.
    If you decide to make a batch of these improved flip stop please put my name on the top of the list as I would be anxious to buy one
    keep up the great work

  • @Barrysworkshop

  • @cognitor900

    And Felder have replied and come to the party it seems....See their post below.
    I'd be keen on them paying for the new part, the extension slide with stops AND the room extension to fit the table saw extension in!!!!
    3500€ and the have a piece of junk that sets the cut square? Cheeky buggers!!
    And it only took a brilliantly talented German teenager with 10's of 1000s of UA-cam followers to sort out one of the best brands in the world! You're a star, Marius! Keep up the great work...but please, we need those outtakes!

    @brukernavnfettsjit 8 років тому +4

    I don't use coolant for aluminium either. That just creates a nasty clog of coolant and chips that fills my cut. Best way I found is dry cut with a nice quality upcut- bit that is especially made for aluminium. It clears the chips on it's own, but a little air stream is helpful as well.

  • @michaelwakley969
    @michaelwakley969 8 років тому +13

    greeting,
    as usual a very informative vid, from a materials point of view, brass together with aluminium is a definitely a no no, in previous vids you talked about a lot of moisture in your basement workshop, these two materials with moisture you will get an galvanic cell setup and the brass will become cathodic (protected) and the aluminium will be anodic (corroded), the result WILL BE corrosion pitting on your new device and most definitely corrode the side of your sliding table. I recommend that you replace the brass with stainless steel asap.
    mick

    • @MariusHornberger
      @MariusHornberger  8 років тому +1

      Good point. I take more care about the moisture now (always about 50-60%). The sliding table is anodized, will that still corrode? I don't know for sure.

    • @michaelwakley969
      @michaelwakley969 8 років тому +3

      most likely, keep an eye out for a black substance (product) appearing in and around the brass and aluminium, if you see it, pitting has commenced, best to replace the brass, really recommend this
      mick

    • @sup3rbird
      @sup3rbird 8 років тому

      Galvanic corrosion occurs at the millivolt level and therefore requires very close proximity or direct contact to do it's dirty work. In your case the two metals most likely to interact, given enough impure moisture, are the brass and aluminium which are already in direct contact. The current has no reason to travel through the table as it is not in the direct path and, being anodised, is a very poor conductor.

    • @MariusHornberger
      @MariusHornberger  8 років тому +10

      michael wakley picked up a piece of stainless steel 6mm round and stainless steel washers to replace the brass. I really should have thought about that. Thanks again for reminding me!

    I have wanted a Felder combination machine for a long time. I wonder if they share the same mechanism. Good thing I now have a great solution to the issue if I ever get one and they are the same. Way to go Marius! Glad to hear that this is the only thing you do not like about the saw. Usually when I see videos like this there is a short list of at least 3 or 4 things. Great to hear that felder is making such a quality product in their hammer line that there is only 1 complaint.

    • @MariusHornberger
      @MariusHornberger  8 років тому

      Well lets say that this was the only complaint that really matters. There are more.

    • @keithbryan9567
      @keithbryan9567 8 років тому

      Still if there's only one thing worthy of mentioning that's really good. But you do now have me curious about those other things.

    • @bartloncke9359
      @bartloncke9359 8 років тому

      I used to have a Hammer B3 winner table saw but switched over to a Felder CF 531 combination machine. I share mr. Hornberger his thoughts. On the new Felder this is a different system, definitely extreme robust, very happy with it. I've been told that the founder of Felder was active in metalworking, this explains why Felder machines are over dimensioned and extremely stable. The X-roll is also noticeably more stable, less vibrations.

  • @SL1800
    @SL1800 8 років тому

    I have a sawstop table saw and the sawstop slider attachment. Based on your original review video of your Hammer, I made a similar adjustment system for my slider fence, except I used a shouldered bolt. For some reason I just assumed Felder would have used a shouldered bolt as well. I don't have access to a cnc so I just made everything by hand, might not be as precise as yours but it's getting the job done for now. And if I had a cnc I would start over and make these pieces more precise.

  • @joeshaft
    @joeshaft 8 років тому

    great work Marius, I like your attention to detail. things like this would annoy me too, although i dont know if i would have the patience to fix it!
    Your solution is great, although i would certainly think about making it from 316ss later once you notice any play or wear in your new aluminium parts.
    Also, one of the suggestion would be, now you have the fence set up square and your cam adjustment is set, i would now make a permanent mark on it, using a scribe or notch, so you know in future how much adjustment you are making and how much wear is being caused in the parts.
    Just a simple scribed line on where the cam meets the flip up adjuster where they make contact... if that makes sense!?
    keep up the good work. videos are fantastic.

    • @MariusHornberger
      @MariusHornberger  8 років тому +1

    @breakinn403 8 років тому

    Great follow up to your earlier review. And yes for a high end saw at that price the least it should be is accurate. It's hard to believe that, that poorly designed adjustable stop got past their quality control dept. The first time you tune it in you couldn't help but notice that it was a problem. Nice fix and glad to see you changed out the brass for SS. Looking forward to hearing if the manufacture responds to your heads up on the stop problem.

  • @elhigh
    @elhigh 8 років тому

    Marius:
    Nice fix! So you know, you can grab a smooth brass rod like that with a locking plier (Vise-Grip or similar) but pad the jaws with a few layers of paper towel. I've been able to really lock down on soft parts like aluminum, copper and brass with that method and left no mark whatsoever.

    Great Fix! Great video! Great "UA-cam" presentation! I like it!
    I sincerely hope that Felder paid all your expenses to travel to and from Tirol in Austria. I doubt they did. But what a story that would be if they did.
    Sadly, this is not the only thing bugging the K3 sliding saw:
    1. Cheap hand wheels. Notice most less expensive saws like Powermatic and SawStop, etc, and see their awesome hand wheels. And WHY in the pluperfect hallelujah would one ever have to use one wheel for two different functions (height and tilt); having to remove it and install it on the "other" shaft and vice-versa.
    2. Flimsy extension tables made out of sheet metal. On a saw as expensive as this one? Give me a break!
    3. Worse: Their fences, NO matter how tightly the anchoring; does have play the further from the fixing point. NO part of any fence should flex once the knob is tightened! Period!
    4. The rear part of their blade "guard" is dangerous. But I must say that overall, it is the best blade guard on the market. For it takes up minimal space overall and especially concerning its width. Plus, it is a gem to get on and off the riving knife. I bought one to use on my Powermatic table saw; so I could throw away their stupid, useless guard; as most all American made blade guards are. I do love Felder blade guards a lot.
    5. Their miter base is just sheet metal. No way could a thinking person justify this on a saw being as expensive as Hammer products are.
    6. A right tilting blade is always VERY dangerous when tilting towards the fence; while cutting thin pieces. Lowering the height of the fence, does NOT solve this safety problem. It scares the hell out of me.
    I do love the K3 in many other ways though. Plus, I do give them a" tip-of-the-hat" for their using a 5" dust port. A 4" is NOT good enough on a table saw. UNLESS you split a 5" into* a 4" AND a 3" (2.5 will work, albeit a little loss in vacuum); while using the 4" on the bottom of the blade and the 3" (2.5") on top of the blade. I applaud them for that.
    The ability to add a scoring blade and outrigger/fence ass'y is a real plus.
    * Note: When dealing with air flow, use the "Pythagorean" rule. IE:
    5" squared equals 4" squared plus 3" squared. Actually one should use the exponential formula; if trying to determine the exact mass of air flow. As an example: 5pr2 = 4pr2 + 3pr2; and then take the square-root for the size left; AFTER taking off a given sized "branch" pipe from the main duct pipe.
    But using the first method, is still directly proportional; and much easier to figure. Do this when planning all dust collection systems; when figuring what size the remaining pipe size must be; when taking off branch feeds; to get maximum dust collection efficiency.
    For whatever it's worth.

  • @Elyasafshweka
    @Elyasafshweka 8 років тому +2

    I have the same saw for 4 years now, and I have to disagree.
    your design is indeed much better than the original one, and I hope Felder will adopt this method (and maybe even reward you in some way for that), but from my experience, if you invest about 20 minutes in aligning, you will get fine results and i never worried about that for 3 years already. the key is to keep it tight enough while making fine adjustments, and if it's too tight to do the final adjustment - start all over again.
    BTW, since felder tend to rip off in accessories prices, i made myself a 2mm thick stainless steel blade splitter (laser cut), to suit thin kerf blades. i have the file for it, if anyone is interested.

  • @marceltimmers1290
    @marceltimmers1290 8 років тому

    Hi mate. I think you're right, in that an adjustment that you can trust should be included in the package of the saw it should only cost them a few cents more. However, I think, it was Tom Lipton of the Oxtool channel that said, TRUST BUT VERIFY. It's, I think, one of the best expressions that I have come across.

    kleiner tipp vom metaller : wenn du bohrungen reibst, benutze ein wenig schneidöl dabei. das sorgt für weniger reibung bei der zerspanung, was für eine bessere oberfläche ,und demnach einer kleinere rautiefe sorgt. bedeutet,dass du maßtolleranzen genauer einhalten kannst.

    I have to agree, much improved execution of the design. I'm always afraid of building something to weak, so I would be worried about the materials you choose, but I guess time will tell if they hold up. The place I would be worried most about is the brass shaft of the flipper as it might wear out over time, but then again there really is no load involved while flipping the flipper, so I guess it will take a loooong time. The other place is the part of the flipper that goes against the fence, it might mushroom over time.
    also once you had the second thread on the front brass rod, you could have used a locknut...
    But I think, Hammer should address that issue, even if it makes the saw a bit more expensive I think you could use mostly standardized parts (as drill bushs) and a bit of milling to improve the mechanism substantially.
    and I think measuring wood with a (cheap, even the expensive ones don't have an accuracy to 0.01mm (even though in my experience with metal they are spot on most of the time when compared to a outside micrometer) digital caliper to the 100th of a mm is always luck... (I bet you can compress the wood while measuring quite a bit)

      I already replaced the brass parts with stainless steel, better choice. Yes, the caliper thing was luck. After another test I got 0,1mm off over 1,2m (I mentioned that in the video as well)

    Great solution! One question aside of this topic: You used a router/mill to mill aluminum, but you mentioned it should be also able to mill steel. What brand and type did you use?
    The most I found were either not able to mill steel or had other prices, beginning with 7000 Euro...
    Currently "Suhner" would be my best choice. Is "Kress" really able to do this job? (maybe with a lower milling depth per round)
    thanks!

    Well done! I am not sure about the brass, but the design and execution are otherwise very good. You are right. An expensive saw should not have poor guides or adjustments.

    NICE,
    I have the combi C3-31 machine and have the same issue with the stop
    Another issue with the combi machine is the fence on the other side is too soft and bend away..:
    Wish I had access to a CNC so I could make this replacement!
    I would happily pay a 100 euros for it

      The truly beautiful thing about this solution is that you can use the original pieces as a template and with some simple hand tools such as a hacksaw, a set of jewelers files as well as a drill press a decent drill bit, and a reamer these results can be attained. True the cnc makes it less labor intensive but the lack of a cnc does not make it impossible. No true need for a metal lathe either the drill press and files can achieve the same results for the studs he made.

    Hallo Marius, das mit dem Rechten Winkel geht auch mit 2 Schnitten. Felder stellt so seine Maschinen ein. Eine größere Platte am Anschlag anlegen und einen Schnitt machen. Dann die Platte umdrehen, so dass der letzte Schnitt gegenüber zum Sägeblatt liegt und nochmals Sägen. Dann die Platte hinten und vorne messen. Der Winkelfehler verdoppelt sich und Du kannst Messen in welche Richtung Du korrigieren musst.

    @JonathanWinterflood 8 років тому

    TBH, I'd say that part could probably be mass produced for only 10€ more than the original... Reaming is expensive for one part, but not really for 10 thousand parts. The shafts could be probably be replaced with screws with precision unthreaded parts (which are quite standard). Good fix!

    Servus Marius, Daumen hoch für all deine Arbeiten und Video! Was mich allerdings sehr interessieren würde wären deine selbstgebaute Zinkenlehre für die Kreissäge sowie deine Höhenverstellung für die "Tischoberfräse". Vielleicht könntest du über die Kontruktion mal ein eigenes Video machen. Würde mich sehr freuen! Danke und weiter so!

    Sehr gut Arbeit! Wenn das bei der Säge so Original mit dabei wäre, würde sie wohl nochmal €50,- extra kosten.
    An der Klemmung mit der Messingscheibe, könntest du eine Federscheibe (DIN137 Form A) verwenden. Die hilft beim einstellen der Schwenkkraft der Anschläge.

  • @kperellie
    @kperellie 8 років тому

    I agree! There's no real excuse for that kind of poor design. They make a lot of money on those saws and like you said, almost everyone who will pay that amount for a saw isn't going to be overly bothered, if at all, for a few more bucks to make it better and I'm sure that extra cost would be much less than your suggestion. I could tell for sure from the video, but is the miter gauge graduated? I didn't see any marks or numbers so if I'm correct, how do you set your angles?
