Great work thanks for the video. I have the 25-50 supermax drum sander and after the warranty period ended I made up a new lid for it that has two 5" ports. Aside from less escaping dust I have found my sanding roll lasts a lot longer, too.
Very good explanation of your new vacuum systems Gilbert.....You won't have that very fine dust like you had before.... Never seen a unit like this but I sure it's top notch because I know you do your research....should serve you well for many years.....CHEERS
I'm assuming business is going really well to be able to afford this equipment. I'm very happy for you, i hope you keep sharing content because it's always a pleasure to see your work !
Thank you for the video! I was wondering if you have any idea's about the inner workings of the RL160? Does it work with a (horizontal) cyclone, or does it have another smart system to direct the dust into the bins?
Nice review. I'm in the UK and have the RL125 which is brilliant. Really wish I had the workshop space you have. Wow your taxes do seem high. Best wishes, Mark.
I am looking at buying an RL-200. I'm trying to decide if I want the automatic pneumatic cleaning option. So I'm curious, if you didn't clean/brush your filter, how many days (or machine hours) would it take before the yellow light came on? Assuming you're not using your sander, I would think that could plug up the filters pretty quick. Thanks!
hi , ive just picked up a used rl 160. Can I ak your advice - im running 2-3 machine ( no more than 2 at a time) -they have 125mm extraction ports.Do you run the 160mm pipe as long as you can and downsize to the 125mm as late as possible? or transition gradually? any help appreciated
Great shop! What are the dimensions, including ceiling height? I am designing a new shop. I plan on several Felder machines as well. Keep up the great work.
I have to say, there are only a handful of RUclips videos on the Felder RL-160 and this one is undoubtedly the best. I was searching for the video because I am purchasing one this week. After seeing your video, I feel like like I have a better idea of what I'm getting for my $8549. FYI.. The Auto Filter Cleaner adds $948 to cost. And since I don't have 3 phase, Felder adds $761 for the single phase 230v motor.😔. I would like to make one correction to your video though, I'm pretty sure I heard you say that the CFM on this machine was 3000. The correct CFM for the RL-160 is 1883cfm. Aside from that....GREAT VIDEO, THANKS!
Thank you. I also have the single phase. You will love. I got a electrician to hook up all my machine to the vaccum. So when I start a machine the vaccum start automatically.
..great video Gilbert! May I ask for some "in action" dust extraction? Maybe only that is missing from this video. On Pl.-Thicknesser or table saw. Then would be a really honest review.
@@frenchriversprings I'll have to watch again I only saw it for the ducting but I'll dbl check I tried uline website but can't find a bag that's close to the same size.
@@frenchriverspringsThe dust bin is very difficult to empty. They sell overpriced bags that get sucked up into the filter and block airflow unless they're weighted down with sawdust. Doesn't help with new bags. I'm having to use an Oneida cyclone separator in front of the RL. It uses a drum which is much easier to empty. I wish I had just gotten a complete Oneida to begin with.

That looks like a great addition to the shop. Super powerful too!

Yes for sure. Thanks Gator. Hopefully I will see you this summer if that virus can go away. Cheers!

Thank you. Yes I have been pretty busy in the last 10 months. You can see most of the stuff I have built on my Facebook page. French River Woodworks

Great video. This was very helpful.
Good show kind Sir. Love it.
Nice review. I'm in the UK and have the RL125 which is brilliant. Really wish I had the workshop space you have. Wow your taxes do seem high. Best wishes, Mark.
Thanks. Yes our tax is high but for the most part our health care is free.
Great tip on the bags! Do the chips pass through the impeller or is it like a cyclone collector?
Thank you, it is difficult to find the exterior dimensions including Felder’s site. You did it straight away.
I sure love your shop and your taste in equipment! So no remote with this? I plan on ordering a A3 41 at someone in the next year.

Nice video review. If I can ask, what flip stops do you use on your fritz and franz jig?
I had the kreg flip stop but recently made a new fritz and Franz using the woodpecker flip stop. I fing the kreg too bulky.
Great video. Please send an update when you install the automatic start/stop module for each machine. Will it work wired or wireless?
Will do. It will be wired with a low voltage wire. (Speaker wire)

Thanks for the great review, you wont know yourself when you the extractor turn on automatically
Great review! Wow that is an impressive machine. I think it would suck the chrome off a hitch lol!
Lol. Almost. Y’a I really like it. Keeps the shop cleaner.

Nice review. Is the RL single phase? What size of Breaker are you using?
Yes mine is single phase but you can also get it in 3 phase. 30 Amp breaker is required.
..great video Gilbert!

Where did you buy the adapter I'm hoping they will have the right size for me I purchased the 140 and I'm having trouble finding the right size.
I explain it at 14:30
Nice hat!
Haha! Thanks 😊
Specs say 75 db It sounds louder but your shop does have an echo and it's video thanks
How much did you pay for your pipes?
What type of bags do u buy from uline?
I clearly show how to get it in the video. I show the number. I don’t remember the number on top of my head
@@frenchriversprings I'll have to watch again I only saw it for the ducting but I'll dbl check I tried uline website but can't find a bag that's close to the same size.
Y’a watch it again. All the information is very clear. Cheers!

I hate my RL160. Anyone in Socal looking to buy one in mint condition?
Why do you hate it?
