*This is exactly what I needed for trimming the edge of oak boards **MyBest.Tools** I also used the disk to round edges while building an oak - walnut cabinet.*
Nice video! I have been torn between a belt/disk combo and an edge sander. Your video sold me on the edge sander and, in particular, the Hammer. Thanks.
Thanks for running through how to best use one of these machines. I couldn’t believe my luck when I picked up the bigger brother to this one (1150 I think) for only $420 on an online auction site here in Australia. It’s nearly brand new. I don’t have the space for this and some other machinery I’ve picked up cheaply over the years yet but I couldn’t let that machine go. I’ll also need to put 3phase on but as an electrician that’s not going to be a difficult task. I can’t wait for the new shop to be built so I can hop into using it. Cheers again for the video👍
I have the same machine, and I absolutly love it. One thing, you should not push your mitre fence into the mitre track. It goes in from the top. The bottom plate that is installen on the mitra track part of the fence, needs to be set into the mitre channel and fastened with the extra screws, them you just pop the mitre fence in from the top. This altso makes sure the mitre fence cant be pushed out when sanding. This also makes the mitre fence easy to use in the hammer bandsaw. Sorry for the bad english, its kind of hard to explain.
Great walk around on the machine, I picked mine up last week and will be building it up tomorrow. I’d been looking for a carriage for it to sit on but now you’ve popped the wheels on yours I’ll be ordering those today.. Thanks again Andy!
Great review and from what I've seen more practical real-world information than you will get anywhere else, not afraid to call a spade a spade. Excellent work.
Great review! I have ordered this machine a while ago (still waiting) but it’s worth the wait as I now know I am 200% right! I guess this is the one time where (although the same company ) Hammer beats Felder - and Felder is just unbeatable... you are a smart man. Congrats on all you do and Thanks again for another great video! I admire your effort and work
Andy: Don't know why you say you are not the best reviewer. I am in the middle of ordering several Felder 700 machines and this review made me add the HS 950 to the list. Great review, really!
Felder produces most of their machinery based on orders received so 9-10 weeks lead time is pretty standard even in neighbouring Germany. Just how they operate.
I have been looking for this now a half year. After seeing this vid, I made up my mind and ordered it. You really should ask for a sponsor money from Felder! I dumped Jet oscillating sander because Hammer seems so much easier to use. My hope is that Hammer would also make reasonably priced oscillating drum sander.
Hi Andy! Thanks for the video! I’d really like to see a detailed video on your wide belt sander. I’m thinking about doing the investment for my workshop. Got some Felder inventory in my workshop and I must say that I am very pleased with the quality and the service that Felder provides. Have a great day!
I have come back to this video several times as I wait for my HS 950 to be delivered next month. One question I have is you mention sharpening chisels...is there a limit to what you would do metal wise (ferrous of course)? Do you need a different belt for metal? Thanks.
I wouldn't say you're not a good reviewer mate. This was to the point and covered the bases. What's the mitre gauge you're using with it btw? Looks an Incra style one but with a taller face to mount profile/fence to.
Hi Andy, thanks for this review as I was considering the Axminster. I am finding it hard to find 180 grid paper. Where do you source yours? Felder also only has up to 150. Thanks
Thank you for the review Andy! I'd like you to check my review on Hammer K3 Winner. I didn't have as much luck as you with this machine. It would be nice if you could leave a comment to help me out.
Hi Andy, I've seen on the felder website they sell cleaning tools for the paper so it lasts longer. Do you also clean it and how? Greetings from Belgium!
Are you selling your Felder 950 sander on EBay? Pics showing your workshop…. I recall you saying that it was sold some time ago. I suspect somebody is trying to pull a scam.
@@ManorWood it got pulled down shortly afterwards. But it was pictured within your workshop a 100% I won the bid on a Martin T60A saw last week…. Scam. Same thing. Pictures of the saw from the previous owners add, the same saw is being given an overview on TH-cam by a chap called Harvey. Asked him if he’s selling it, and just like you said it was sold ages ago. Saw is back for sale after I got no reply to my intricate questions about it and my order was cancelled . Somebody is going to be stung, as there is no easy way to call eBay and inform them. Thank you for your reply, keep up the good work. Gutted by the fire that you’ve suffered. But glad that the business is back in the mend. 👍🏻
So if you are not bothered by the slow paper change of a drum sander. A drum sander should be a good cheap alternative? Unless their is a quality difference
Hammer belt changes are fine the jet style is the slow change ! Drum sander is another thing altogether, and a mage slow change . I did have one and found it a nightmare when paper ripped !!
Hi Andy, thank you for another informative video. I'm looking to buy this type of sander. I was looking at the Jet but this looks so much better for not much more money. Andy, is yours the 230v 50Hz version? thanks again Pete
*This is exactly what I needed for trimming the edge of oak boards **MyBest.Tools** I also used the disk to round edges while building an oak - walnut cabinet.*
Thanks Andy! I must have watched this one half a dozen times already and just picked up my HS950 yesterday :)

Cheers Andy well explained not a pile nonsense like some people do on tool reviews
I have the same machine, and I absolutly love it.

Hmm I will have a look at that thanks , they way I have it now it very solid and can't not lift out or push back
Thanks Andy I’ve been eying that machine!
Nice bit of kit and and quiet too.
Great walk around on the machine, I picked mine up last week and will be building it up tomorrow. I’d been looking for a carriage for it to sit on but now you’ve popped the wheels on yours I’ll be ordering those today.. Thanks again Andy!
I just ordered mine. ETA late August
Great review and from what I've seen more practical real-world information than you will get anywhere else, not afraid to call a spade a spade. Excellent work.
funny to realize that your arguments to switch over to this machine are 100% the same arguments I've had for ordering the HS 950.
Great review! I have ordered this machine a while ago (still waiting) but it’s worth the wait as I now know I am 200% right! I guess this is the one time where (although the same company ) Hammer beats Felder - and Felder is just unbeatable... you are a smart man. Congrats on all you do and Thanks again for another great video! I admire your effort and work
Seems like everything Felder manufactures is top notch
Check my video on Hammer K3 Winner before that conclusion.
Hey Andy, that sander is epic I have one myself and love it, take care man see ya soon, thanks for sharing again 👍👍👍🇮🇪
Thanks 👍
Brought one 3 weeks ago just waiting for delivery.Bit longer lead time as they are proving to be popular !
Having machines where you don’t have to keep checking if they’re square must save you loads of time, proof I guess that you get what you pay for! 👏👍😀
Andy: Don't know why you say you are not the best reviewer. I am in the middle of ordering several Felder 700 machines and this review made me add the HS 950 to the list. Great review, really!
Wow, thanks
Thanks Andy, that video helped a lot! I will buy the machine this week. All the best!
Great video
The perfect start into my sunday: watching your video and having coffee in your mug i got some days ago #hellocoffee
Ace ! Good morning, Have a great Sunday mate
Felder produces most of their machinery based on orders received so 9-10 weeks lead time is pretty standard even in neighbouring Germany. Just how they operate.
What a great bit of kit, and so versatile. 👌🏾
I'm really impressed with the footprint too.
Awesome review, mate, well done. 👍🏾
I have been looking for this now a half year. After seeing this vid, I made up my mind and ordered it. You really should ask for a sponsor money from Felder!

I have a AD Felder planer thicknesser beautiful to use I like your sander good on you well done. Great hobbie.
Very interesting, well explained.
Looks like a very efficient machine and amazingly cheap considering the quality.👍
I think it's a new equipment. Please look forward to beautiful works based on safety. ^o^
Hi Andy! Thanks for the video! I’d really like to see a detailed video on your wide belt sander. I’m thinking about doing the investment for my workshop. Got some Felder inventory in my workshop and I must say that I am very pleased with the quality and the service that Felder provides.

did you see this - th-cam.com/video/TKtfnA66x4A/w-d-xo.html
I have come back to this video several times as I wait for my HS 950 to be delivered next month. One question I have is you mention sharpening chisels...is there a limit to what you would do metal wise (ferrous of course)? Do you need a different belt for metal? Thanks.
Just ordered - will receive it end December.
Felder should just make a video showing that belt change and not bother with anything else. That's the killer feature in my book.
Fantastic
I wouldn't say you're not a good reviewer mate. This was to the point and covered the bases. What's the mitre gauge you're using with it btw? Looks an Incra style one but with a taller face to mount profile/fence to.
Cheers Mate, Its the HS 950 Hammer Mitre fence (which is an option)

Where is the link to the wheels Andy? Thanks
Hi Andy, I've seen on the felder website they sell cleaning tools for the paper so it lasts longer. Do you also clean it and how? Greetings from Belgium!
Yeah I have some is like a rubber block
Great machine. It looks like it's plugged in to a normal 3 pin 13 amp supply rather than 16 amp, or am I seeing things?
Ok I typed this before you explained at the end that it is 13 amp. 👍
13amp standard uk mains
Are you selling your Felder 950 sander on EBay? Pics showing your workshop…. I recall you saying that it was sold some time ago. I suspect somebody is trying to pull a scam.
Sold ages ago , I couldn’t see in on eBay ?
@@ManorWood it got pulled down shortly afterwards. But it was pictured within your workshop a 100%

Do you have a link for the quick fitting you use for the DC hose?
no , but its in the Felder online shop
So if you are not bothered by the slow paper change of a drum sander. A drum sander should be a good cheap alternative? Unless their is a quality difference
Hammer belt changes are fine the jet style is the slow change ! Drum sander is another thing altogether, and a mage slow change . I did have one and found it a nightmare when paper ripped !!
Have I missed your '30 "tight" dominoes in a row' use-case? I don't visit all that often these days.
Have a look 👀
Hi Andy, thank you for another informative video. I'm looking to buy this type of sander. I was looking at the Jet but this looks so much better for not much more money. Andy, is yours the 230v 50Hz version? thanks again Pete
is much Much better than the Jet , I would say in a completely different league feel and usage and results yes -230v 50Hz version
