I own a Felder shaper built in 2000 that has the DRO in the picture. Anyone have instructions for this unit? I know how to use the height adjustment. It's the P key I can't quite figure out. I know that it has very limited functionality. Just curious.

Isn't that a pulse key? For moving the spindle a preset amount?

Thanks for the response Rich. The white button raises the spindle in small increments but not to a preset. The "P" button provides some kind of programming options. I just can't decipher how to use it.

2000 is not that old. Have you contacted Felder?

Felder said, "Well, it has limited capabilities". I don't think the guy really knew what it could do other than raise and lower the spindle.

The answer lies within Felder. Call the numb kid back and tell him you need to talk to some one that both knows the answer, and cares that he has a positive connection with one of their customers.

Good luck with Felder support!!!
There's a hobbyist forum called SMC that has a Felder tech that spends a lot of time on there and may be helpful.

Hey David, why don't you post the model Number, could help track down the manual. And thanks Woodweb for pulling rednecks comments. And for those that didn't see it don't worry. Lets keep Woodweb a place where we can be cordial and help each other.

Thanks Ken. It's a model F 700 Z Pro.

I can see that I wasn't very clear in my original post. I have the owners manual for the shaper but it doesn't mention the DRO. Thank you to those that have tried to help.

Dave
