Looks like a serious bit of kit. I have never heard of them so did a quick search.
Are they being sold here.

This was bought by my father in law in 2004, it's a $12000 machine... With little use & a couple of missing bits...
I was hoping someone may own one & could come & give a few lessons...
Its a 7 in 1 machine it even makes coffee!

Hey John,
thanks for the link, it shows some of the missing bit. I used the planer today with a little success, this thing is a beast.
It has 3x 3hp motors & just ploughs through timber.
I can't seem to find an australian distributor that is willing to help with a service & setup.
cheers

Dangermandave,
I guess no dealer is going to service another brand machine but dont be dispondant. It is a woodworking combo machine and there must be the knowhow on this forum to figure out the problems. (looks to be a couple of lightyears ahead of my old Ezycut combo) Start at the basics. Do you have an instruction manual? If not how far have you got and what do you need help with. An online search may get a manual for it. You mentioned you got the planer working so that is a start. Blades and things may have to be sourced in europe depending on measurments but figure out what you need first. Getting things from overseas is no big deal these days. Things like setting up a table saw or a planer remain basically the same for most machines so holler for help if you need to and I am sure there will be some on here that can lend a hand.
Regards
John

As a suggestion, get in touch with Felder and see if they will put you in touch with Ron Camilleri?, Felder use him to service all the Felder gear, he is in Sydney and should be able to do a service and maybe give you some advice, make sure you have everything ready to go tho as he doesn't like to muck about

Thanks for your help guys..
I set the machine up in its intended position today, chucked a brand new frued blade on her & hacked up some camphor. All went well & left me wondering how long ago I could have used one of these!
I have a basic understanding of all the tasks this machine performs, but I'm going from a circular saw & jet 300mm thicknesser to this & it's just a bit of a massive jump, I guess this machine is for a semi pro or a very very serious hobbyist. I have the manual but it is a very poor translated version & all the pictures & diagrams are rubbish!
I managed to bang out a couple of sawn, planed & sanded boards in the time it would have taken me to saw one before..... So I suppose things are looking up...
Thanks for your help

Got the thicknesser working today, although it felt & sounded like I was running boards through a cake mixer, I'm guessing new knives are required?

Ok time for an update,
Have worked out the panel saw & it is a weapon!
Sent the jointer/thicknesser knives away to be sharpened as they were blunt as...have used both of the above with a little success (due to the dull knives)
Found the spindle cutters the ones in an orange box for around $499 @ Carbatech, still haven't tried these as I'm a little nervous!
The mortiser is a few years away from even looking like being used as I'm missing clamps & cutters.
This machine is a good bit of gear although I'm like that guy you know with all the tools but not enough ability to use them

Hey Dave,
Have you still got the machine? I've picked up a 1998 model that looks the same as yours. I'm trying to work out how to stabilise the end of the fence so that is doesn't move when ripping. I am not sure how the rod sits in the end of the fence. The manual doesn't give any guidance. How do you secure the end of the fence?
Cheers,
Gary

Late to the thread, new member. How are you finding your machines? I have the same machine. Mine had not had an easy life, needed a full rebuild with all the bearings/belts/blades replaced along with a heap of corrosion repairs. Any luck finding a supplier for missing bits?
