Maggi Steff 3 roll variable speed feeder is a stock feeder designed to move material at controlled speeds from 9 to 59 FPM, so workpieces advance steadily across cutters for smoother operations. The 3 rollers contact the stock over a longer area, helping maintain grip as boards travel past the tool. A 4-3/4 inch roller diameter sets a broad rolling surface, which spreads pressure across the workpiece for more even feeding. The 2-1/4 inch roller width gives each roller a defined contact strip, supporting tracking along the feed path. A 0.75 HP motor rating for a 1-phase machine provides power tailored to that drive requirement, while a 1 HP motor rating for a 3-phase machine supports higher demand installations. The stand supplied with this feeder positions the unit as a dedicated station, so the feeder can be aligned and left in place for repeated runs.
The variable feed rate from 9 to 59 FPM lets installers tune the Maggi Steff unit to the material being run, so setup can respond to hardwoods, softwoods, or composite stock needs. The 3-roller design means once the stand is positioned relative to the cutting tool, all three rollers can be arranged to contact the stock in sequence, supporting straight travel through the cut. The 4-3/4 inch roller diameter works with the roller spacing to bridge minor surface variations in the workpiece, which helps maintain feed pressure over boards with small thickness changes. With a 2-1/4 inch roller width, each roller engages a compact track on the stock, supporting predictable feed along the fence or guide once alignment is dialed in.
The 0.75 HP motor rating for a 1-phase machine gives a power level aligned with lighter-duty or smaller-shop equipment, so the same feeder concept supports those installations. For heavier or industrial settings, the 1 HP motor rating for a 3-phase machine matches the demands of 3-phase drives, allowing the feeder to operate in higher-production environments. The 230V 3-phase configuration noted in the product name places this feeder in shops wired for that supply, which is common for larger woodworking machinery. By pairing the correct motor rating with the existing machine type, the feeder can deliver steady drive torque to the 3 rollers, which matters when pushing wider or heavier boards through demanding cuts.
The speed adjustment system using a belt on a conical aluminum pulley establishes a mechanical link between motor and rollers, so each pulley position corresponds to a defined speed range that can be returned to for repeat jobs. The turn knob for the required speed operates this system without changing gear position, which streamlines fine-tuning between passes, such as when moving from roughing cuts to final finish cuts. The min - max plate indicating rotation direction to obtain the required speed adds a clear guide at the adjustment point, reducing guesswork about which way to rotate for faster or slower feed rates. Combined with the 9 to 59 FPM range, these elements support controlled chip load and surface finish across varied materials. The 4-3/4 inch roller diameter and 2-1/4 inch roller width define a contact patch that balances grip and maneuverability, helping the feeder hold stock firmly while still allowing the operator to manage guiding fences or jigs during production work.
The Maggi Steff variable speed feeder offers a feed range from 9 to 59 FPM, which lets the operator adapt feed rate to different materials and cutter setups for consistent machining.
The Maggi Steff feeder uses a belt on a conical aluminum pulley and a turn knob, so speed changes occur by rotating the knob rather than shifting gear positions.
The feeder is rated 0.75 HP for a 1-phase machine and 1 HP for a 3-phase machine, providing suitable drive power for each machine type during feeding.
The 3 rollers, each 4-3/4 inch in diameter and 2-1/4 inch wide, give extended contact with the workpiece, helping maintain steady feed and grip through the cut.
The min - max plate shows rotation direction to obtain the required speed, giving a quick reference so adjustments move toward faster or slower feed as intended.
The 147 lb weight gives the feeder mass for stable positioning on its stand, helping resist movement and supporting smoother, vibration-dampened operation.
The Maggi Steff 3 roll variable speed feeder with stand combines 9 to 59 FPM feed range, defined roller dimensions, and motor ratings for both 1-phase and 3-phase machines, so it supports controlled material handling across many machining tasks. The belt-on-conical-aluminum-pulley system with a turn knob and min - max plate ties speed settings to clear visual feedback, which helps repeat feed setups from job to job. For shops wanting consistent stock advance past cutters, this feeder offers a focused solution built around practical speed control and stable roller contact.
