pkinneb 130 Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 Hey folks just wanted to follow up on this one. As stated in my first post I was mistakenly sent the metric version of the miter gauge and as of today nearly a month later it has still not been corrected. I am using the gauge and my review still stands but thought all should know the customer services has hit a bit of a road bump at least for me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I saw another post yesterday with people having issue with Felder CS as well. I just wonder how much of it is Covid related? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If they are in a area where things are limited as to what percent of your work force can be there at any given time, things are bound to go slow. Patience is definitely a virtue these days. 1 Quote “If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?” John Wooden Link to post Share on other sites
pkinneb 130 Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 Just to close the loop on this I received an email from Harvey late last evening and they apologized profusely. They said they had been "swamped from the holiday and playing catch up" the replacement parts are in the mail and they provided tracking info. So all is good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Coop 618 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Nice! Now to find you some 1/4x20 square nuts and grind them down to fit the slots for your sacrificial zci fence. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I went with M6 hex nuts and metric button screws worked well and no grinding, cost me almost $6 though 😏 Having said that I agree they should include the square nuts referenced in the owners manual. There we go 🙂 Since I had to set up stops on the DP I batched out 5 so I should be good for a long time LOL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kev 1,120 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Thanks for posting.. I'll try and do a follow up video after I get home as there seems to be enough difficulty with this. I ordered some parts on Amazon this morning.. So, we'll see how they work out soon! I like the idea of making a bunch of them! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coop 618 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) I settled for two less than the recommended six due to the grinding. Glad to know the correct size Paul. Edited January 24 by Coop 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 526 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 These fences are they easy to move over say a half inch to get a fresh backing or do you have to start with a new one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coop 618 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Jamie, you can easily side these by loosening the screws. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The ground nuts are working it just feels like a cheesy setup. I am curious Kev, what did you decide to order. I have to add, I have been using this quit a bit lately and I am really happy with this purchase. Thanks Paul.😃 1 Quote “If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?” John Wooden Link to post Share on other sites

Chet 658 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I went with the M-6 Hex and M6 X 16 machine screws, works perfectly. After Paul posted I was looking at the manual again and it said M-6. I just zoned in on the part in parentheses that said 1/4 X 20. Doh! 3 Quote “If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?” John Wooden Link to post Share on other sites
