I tried this a handful of days ago before seeing your video. Getting the feet in there didn't help with the bandsaw stability. I moved my feet back to the original holes.
Suspect the edge holes are for permanent mount to floor but would have made sense to move the hole by 5 mm so can use both holes not just the inside ones
Hi, last week I also got my FB 510. Yesterday I tried to get it working. Unfortunately, every time, the tires (green ones like yours) come off the wheels. Have you perhaps had a similar problem? Were the rubbers at your place glued to the wheels?
Hi, no I didn’t have this problem for me they have not been any sort of problem. I did read about something similar to this on older machines that had a defect in the tyres which felder replaced on request. Is the machine new or old? If it’s old would contact them for a replacement set. They were too loose from memory which would give the same issue you’re seeing. I think they are friction fit not glued on. Hope you get it sorted soon as the bandsaw is an awesome bit of kit when it’s set up. Mark
The machine was brought direct from felder not sure if they build in house or sub contract the metal fab out and then assemble in Austria either way moving the hole should be a easy change should they choose to take the advice
Could be I have read a number of differing views and so could be built out of Italy or Asian country or just be parts brought into Austria to assemble I don’t know for certain what I can say if they are solidly built and perform way above the needs I have and other than the location ok the foot which was hitting the door have been spot on

@@woodworkgeek I thought the same thing.

Not sure that Felder could address that design fault. Did they manufacture that machine ?

@@woodworkgeek there is a view that this machine is badged.
