Power feeder belt feed conversion
2/13/20
I have a Maggi Steff 2048 w wheel power feeder and i was wanting to convert it to belt feed. I have checked with J&G and Western Roller and they both say that the belt feed is only made for a 3 roll feeder so i was wondering if anyone here knows if there is a 4 wheel belt feed available from any other company. Thanks.

Try Weaver shaper. I think they make up loops in custom lengths. I got mine from them 15 years ago.

Last time i dealt with Weaver i bought a shaper cutter after they called me for about 8 weeks in a row hounding me to buy something. They sent me a used cutter and acted like they didnt know it was used then after they exchanged it i could not get them to even email me the receipt. My calls to them from then on went unanswered. I love their air tenon and shapermaster jigs and templates. Hopefully they are still in business but they dropped the ball with me.

Grizzly has an excellent five roller track feeder for around $1500 plus shipping. I have used one for about ten years, worth every penny. Minimum length is 8" but you can run 6" drawer fronts by using a swanson speed square to hold the narrow parts as they feed through.
