Looking at working in a smaller but more efficient space. As such, I am combining my machines albeit at a higher capability with the purchase of a Felder combination machine. I wanted to see if anyone that uses Felder equipment - sliding saw, shaper, etc would be able to comment on what might be considered an ideal build. It seems like Felder has lots and lots of options for this machine as well as many shared options between machines. Does anything stick out as need to have or even I have it but never use it, or wish I had included this in my build?
I also would like to know of tooling recommendations. I'm stepping up to a shaper and am planning to wait on tooling for that near term. I plan to purchase a cabinet insert cutterhead first and then see what I need besides that. I still have a router table with good selection of bits. If you have any Felder specific tooling advice of how I'm making a mistake, I'd love to consider it.
For the sliding saw, I plan on getting the mechanical scoring and to start, an ATB general purpose blade and flat tooth ripper. I can't find a lot on Felder blades so I'm interested to know everyone's setup.
I do a lot of custom cabinet and solution based work with occasional furniture.
