What is everyone using to clean their blades? I like the idea of the Simple Green solution (actually the purple heavy duty version). Non toxic, biodegradable, not really harmful like other chemical cleaners etc. The only problem is that it is imported from the United States and therefor comes at...

Very useful info Sideways. I’m going to print this out for helpful reference in the workshop next to the S45. To be honest, the wider blade you guys picked out for me does well with hardwood up to 150mm or so which is more than good enough for what I do. It also does well for gradual curve cuts...

Hi Mike. I have not managed to get to the saw to measure this weekend unfortunately. I’ll measure first thing in the morning and post it up here. I’m not sure if will be too late but is the best I can do. I don’t know why there seems to be no info online at all on this, it is frustrating, I...

Thanks Mike. I will if I can get access to the workshop today. Sometimes is possible if there is someone around to let me in. This way I might be able to get it measured today.

I am not sure the dimensions, I was hoping to get the information from the manual but can’t seem to find any. I’m locked out the workshop until Monday morning but I could measure it then… As far as I know, the design of the slider has stayed the same. Maybe another Altendorf owner may know...

Hi. Does anyone know where I can find an exact T nut to fit an Altendorf WA80 slider T track?

Hi to all. I’m looking for a cost effective way of getting a couple of clamps to get me started on the Altendorf WA80. I understand there are expensive options which when I get going, I’ll probably entertain at a later date. Really just now I need asap a solution. I’ve looked at eccentric clamps...

I like the rustic look, it’s not something I’ve dabbled with myself. I think it goes well with the industrial style metal legs etc. I guess because of the resin having to be polished to a sheen all the time it just makes sense otherwise I find the finish on the wood uneven and patchy where the...

Usually when resin is involved I’ll take the wood right up the grades to keep it looking even across the whole piece although once I get past 600 grit, I don’t see the point really as the finish is more likely to make it look and feel more smooth than high grade sandpaper will. I tend to sand...

Osmo poly-x wax oil (satin)

As far as I could see, the air goes into that area with the dust, then gets sucked through the filters into the upper area of the machine (into about the top half of the machine which I cannot see into with the filters in place) where I presume there is a large impeller and a motor at least but...

Hi Pete. It seems I was wrong and the function of the compressor looks like it’s to drive the piston for the brushes for auto clean…not spray air on the filters. Still to read up about it but took some footage after setting the machine up. It seems like the video footage I took, the server...

No problem Pete. The machine arrives first thing tomorrow morning. It will still need connection to mains,(cable ready) ducting (they are coming back soon I hope to do the last few hours work) and the compressor (which I’ve still not decided on make and model). Tomorrow I will be inverting the...

It blasts the dust off the filter periodically on a timer and the dust drops of into the collection with the rest of the dust. It’s a sealed unit with a manual compression lever to release the dust containers at the bottom.

Hi Pete. I’ve spoken to Felder tech team. They say to not worry about the 20 litres per hour, it’s just a guide so that the compressor has enough time to refill that amount of air for every cycle which in my case will most likely be set to every 10 minutes. It can be set to every half hour but...

Thanks, tomorrow I will call Felder and double check the 3/4” connector, the litres per hour required and ask how frequent it is likely to be doing the cleaning cycle. It could be that I have written down incorrectly or misheard the tech guy over the phone so is best I double check this first. I...

I guess it needs high volume for short bursts periodically like maybe once every 20 minutes
