What did the tech charge for the tune up?

hi Matt. thanks for the video. can it handle heay piece of wood...let say 5cm thick and 2.2m without having to calibrate?

There is nothing more frustrating than poor audio, an echo is the worst.

I see ther 230 V 4.0 HP is an option but i dont see what the standard moter is anywhere? Any Idea?

I appreciate your honesty in reviewing this machine and your right, a lot of Hammer/Felder owners tend to gloss over the shortcomings. As someone who grew up in and is a full time woodworker I would offer the following observations. Hammer is way overpriced for what you are getting. A surface planer without a rigid fence is not a quality machine. I don't think I have ever seen a more flimsy fence assembly. It's a joke. I personally would never ever recommend a combination thickness planer UNLESS your one of the very lucky few that has acquired a Wadkin. The biggest and worst short cut in this machine is the lack of bed roller's. They say this feature reduces snipe ! Bullshit. It does lead to much greater friction and that's why you are getting feeding issues. The other reason you are going to have feeding issues is the small diameter of the feed rolls. Cheaper to make but there is nothing more irritating than a thickness planer that does not feed easily. The only thing that alleviates it a little is that silicone crap they charge an arm and a leg for. I had to use one of these pieces of junk when I was doing some sub contract work and I learned to hate this machine. The other problem you will find over time is the single column bed lift will start to loose tolerance and you will get uneven thickness. THIS will really drive you nuts. There are so many cost cutting short cuts in this machine that I would never recommend it to anyone. It's an overpriced toy for unsuspecting hobbyists. The worst part though is the bridge guard. Talk about a flimsy safety joke. Pork chop guards are so very much safer and easier to use.

Great detailed video.

I purchased a A3-41 Planer / Jointer from Felder that was delivered damaged on February 2nd. 2022. It's now June, and it still on the pallet it was delivered on in the center of my shop. I had multiple calls /emails /photos / tech calls / But once the tech said the Planer sounds like it needs to be replaced, nobody from Felder will return my phone calls or respond to my emails. Buyer beware. Stay away from Felder tools. No support at all from this company.

What about delivery and getting 900# into your shop? Price? I have to buy in the USA and bring it across the border into Mexico....

The hobby club I just joined has one of these. Doing RUclips homework. Great Vid.. Thank you. Not sure if you figured this out in the 5 years since posting this vid... but I saw the solution (on another RUclips review) to the issue you mentioned (rollers not engaging) while in planar mode at timestamp 16:31. There is a lever to the lower left of the crank. Pull it out for jointer. Put it in for planar. Other guy said it engages those rollers.

Good review!

I have done very similar with Stodoys designs.

Any issues with the extension table? Do you use it on both sides and have thought about the short table for out feed of planer?

love this video, our workshop often make stuff like chair or board and we also design woodworking machine welcome to check our channel. Hope to see more of your videos

A lot of people complain about not being able to get their tables coplanar and about each table not being milled properly within proclaimed tolerances. Have you checked for these as well? Especially the first complain is kinda bread and butter on these machines as it means any wood you pull through then gets to get a curve which then potentialy multiplies with every other operation in the workshop.

should it be run on dedicated 15a? don't got a lot of space left in the box and have to consider running higher amps and putting them in sequence

Hey, Matt! Now that you've had the machine for several years, I'd love to know how the beds have held up. Have you had to recalibrate them again since your original purchase so that they're co-planer?

Great review. Well don’t and fact based. Thank you

Hi sir we are interesting in that machine where I can buy that machine

Please help me with your contact , because I need one of the machines but I don't know my way around

How much do you take off per pass when planing (rotations of the crank)? Just got mine and it does not pull the wood through at a consistent rate. It sputters through. Can't tell if I'm trying to take off too much or too little? Thanks.

"I recommend this guide: *ioni.best/ww-guide/RD7* So grateful it exists."

Does the working height of the planer bother you? As in do you feel like you have to be hunched over to use it? Is it too low, especially when running heavy pieces?

I'm getting mine soon! I've heard somewhere that feed rollers problem can be solved by applying some lubricant to the table, like Super Glide from Felder. I think it might be your case because you mentioned that it becomes worse with smoother milled pieces. Hopefully, you already resolved that by now.

Now that you’ve had it for a few years, how is it holding up? Any regrets or things you would change?

Great review! This was really helpful.

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. Subscribed! I am a new RUclipsr if you have a chance please check out my first videos and sub. Thanks

Very disappointing that it required that much calibration, for the price of the machine I would expect it to be dead on. Did they send the tech out to get it right or did you have to pay for the trip?

Thanks for the video! I really enjoyed it. You shared a bunch of good info... That is a lot of cranking.

so we need a Felder tech to come over and calibrate it after all, just like with sliding saws and probably all of their machines, oh well...

Awesome review.. thanks! If anyone has some alternate machines that are in the same quality realm, can you please reply to this comment.. thank you all!

Good review! I'm looking at this machine also.

I love objective reviews. This gentleman doesn't have an agenda, he just wants to share his experience with a purchase he made. Kudos!

I’m looking strongly at the 16”

Can you tell me exactly with links which plug connector and outlet you used to connect this machine? I see the cable that came with this machine is very short... Thanks

Are those extension tables still available? Can't find them listed on any Hammer/Felder websites

I invented a "Parallel Guided Power Saw" you can see on you tube. Do you wish to manufacture my saw? I may license it to you for free. I will give you all the information you need. My saw has the board sitting on the table and move the saw over material. Also the length of the shop is just half of what you need for your saw. Also the system may carry any other tools such as; router, drill press, grinder, and so on. For drill press you can do wholes anywhere on 8x2 ft without to move the board. The length of cut may be any. A 18 ft cut is easy to do. Everything is very simple and accurate.

do you talk much and work few... sorry, but I lost my time seing you...

Meh. It’s okay I guess if you like awesome shops.

Hey Matt, looks like you're using Nordfab ducting, am I right? Also, how is your airflow with those 90 degree turns, and what dust collector are you using? Thanks in advance.

The machine is great and the downsides are minor at best...if you ask me.

I just took delivery of C-341 which is the combo with the 410 mm (16") bed with the silent power knives. Luv the machine, the build quality is exceptional. However, I agree on the Fence. It took me over 3 hrs to get it 90 degrees and square to the table. Even then I had to make modification so the it would actual get to 90 degrees. It would not get past 88 degrees at first. The quality of the plane finish is fantastic. Overall, I am please with the purchase or am I just justifying my very, very expensive purchase. Time will tell....

Great review thanks very much. What is the overall length and width of the machine?

Matt, thank you for such an articulate and objective review. Thoughts of purchasing this exact machine is on my mind and you have persuaded me towards purchasing one. The recommendation to have a Felder tech calibrate the machine made the difference as I felt a bit uneasy about doing that specific task. Again, thank you and great job. For someone who had never done this before, I recommend you reconsider your day job and look into doing web videos with sponsors and all of that jive. I would watch you review a toaster. Sincerely.

Do you still like the combo machine? Do you find that both functions provide accurately milled wood?

Absolutely love your opening. People seem to be under this impression that because a company sends a content maker a tool for review, the review will be biased. However, IMHO, someone is more biased when they spend their own money on something. Outstanding review, and that mobility kit looks sweet. Simple to use, robust and effective.

Hello Matt, thank you so much for the video. I'm having problems withthe feed rolls. I have to push very hard to be able to pass the wood. How can they be adjusted? Thanks you very much.

Hi Matt, does your machine have the 4.0 kW (3 phase) or 3.0 kW (single phase) motor?

todas las maquinas tienen su PRO y su CONTRA segun te acostubres yo uso un felder 700 y es la misma mirda

How much cost
