You might want to try the Yahoo Felder group. Go to Yahoo,
http://groups.yahoo.com/
search for "Felder"
You can view messages posted to the group but have to sign
up and join the group to post messages, images etc..
The group is moderated and they do have some membership
requirements apparently. I tried to join and was rejected,
possibly because I'm a Robland X31 (lower priced and less
flashy competition combination machine).

I belong to the group. You were probably rejected because you no doubt tried to
compare the Robland to a Felder.

No, actually I was looking for ideas for modifications to combis,
fence
systems and slick tricks. Unitl you apply to, and are accepted by,
The
Group, you can't post messages but merely can read posts by other
members.
My "rejection letter" gave no reason and noted something to the effect
that
"this decision is final and not appealable.". Seemed kind of snooty
but
ain't worth worrying about.
There are several Felder owners in the Robland X31 group and some have
brought ideas and mods from the Felder group to the X31 group -
currently
a guy is offering a metal plate with keyhole slots and vise grip type
hold
downs for the mortiser table. An X31 member came up with a slick jig
for
the mortising table that would work on a Felder Would like to post
the url
to the Felder group cause it's a nice jig - but alas ... Here's the
URL to that jig if you're interested - especially if you do chairs or
splayed leg tables.

BTW - god forbid anyone would try to compare ANYTHING to a FELDER :)

You're right. Myown answer was meant to be tongue in cheek by the way.
For what it's worth, the Felder really is a far better machine. Of course, how
good does anything have to be?
