MAGSWITCH Power Feeder Mount Enters the Building!!! Game Changer???

In this video we take a look at the installation of my new Magswitch Power Feeder Mount. This is an incredible tool and is going to take my table saw and power feeder game to the next level.

You should consider building or getting a cart about as tall as your table. You could go with a lifting cart if you really want that puppy to be going up and down every time you need it. What ever you do, save your back.

A folding engine hoist and a strong cart with wheels will go a long way on saving your back. The folding engine hoist will save floor space when not in use. Good luck Spencer. 👍🏻

That’s a nice shop improvement. I agree with most commenters with regard to building a ‘wheeled’ cart. I think I’d also consider getting an extra mount and leaving one on your shaper. They’re cast iron, if it gets dropped, they always seem to crack.

Finally congratulations on the wheels for your trash cans and the drywall cart(s). Save your back!

We have two Delta saws bolted together. The one on the right bought cheap with no motor but it serves as the table extension for the fence and mount for the bolted on power feeder. It's name is Sawzilla.

Spencer, you need something like an engine hoist to lift it on and off the table - save the back. Thanks for all the content. Love what you are doing.

I would build a rolling cart so as to not have to lift from the floor. Looks like a great addition

Spencer Lewis🤔the most interesting carpenter in the world..20ft slat wall no problem, stair jig, 20pc door jig no problem..20ft beams solo haha only he can do that..setting up a DeWalt Chopsaw to perfection, wish you could..and move a 150lb power feeder from bench to flood with his pinky🤷🏻‍♂️ most interesting carpenter in the world 🌎..thankfully he shares his knowledge

When I saw your last video I mentioned that you should consider the magswitch base. Well now you mention a smaller power feed, well I can tell you that you definitely won’t be disappointed with the smaller powermatic I have Both and the smaller one is more powerful than most competitors larger models and much easier to handle! Been using power feeds for 40 years! The easier it is to handle the more likely you will use it!

The harbor freight hydraulic cart would be great for mobilizing that feeder head. You can easily adjust the cart height with the foot pedal

[rickyborden]

Build, or buy a cart the same height as your able so that you can slide it off on the cart. Or better yet, use that cool winch you used to put that round piece in the ceiling a while back to lift it, and save your back. What a great addition to the shop!

[arthurmcdanielsen]

Great idea Spence, but in the long run, you can mess up your back and you only have one of those. I would definitely get some kind of a lift cart or use the shaper to move it, like you did the last time. Great video like always.

[robertmorris]

Good tool to add to an even better tool. Move base as close to rollers as possible, while power is still connected, use rollers to move to the end of cut off table. Then roller onto a good heavy weight cart. Motor +wheels = no pushing and dragging wheels to cause flat spots on wheels.

[yvonboudreau]

Hey Spencer you might want to consider mounting a small winch on the ceiling to assist is lifting the feeder onto the table saw.

[robh.]

Agree with the engine hoist idea. Got to protect your back!!!

[barnwoodcc]

I have no doubt you'll come up with the perfect solution in time.

[markb]

You should make a strong cart that you can wheel over, slide it on, and roll it to an out-of-the-way place. Would save your back not having to drop to, and lift from, the floor.

[joedake]

With the way you have it set up just use a dedicated cart that is at table saw height. You would never have to actually pick it up again. The swing ability of that power feed unit would alow you to swing it over the cart then rise or lower to maneuver it to which ever piece of equipment you are gonna use it on!

[jeffhayes]

Immediately has me remembering using a festool track saw the first few times without using the clamps.

[pauljones]

Make yourself a bench on casters movable to carry those power rollers on and anything else that needs moving around the workshop.

[michael.schuler]

Great idea. Next, make a little cart the same height of the saw, so you don't have to pick the feeder up and can move it easily between machines. Felder uses this method for deploying and removing the mortising attachment for their multi-function machines.
