I have KF700 with overhead dust collection and 31¡± rip capacity.
No way I would remove the overhead arm dust collection. Felder technician told me it took him and a helper more than 2 hours to install it before delivery.
I would use track saw to cut the plywood in half if ever needed. If you do not have a track saw, this is a reason to have it.

I'm wondering if there is a way on the KF 700 to cut a piece of plywood in half with a 31 rip capacity unit. I realize the overhead dust collector would be in the way. It looks like that would be cumbersome to remove. But if it were removed, is there anything preventing one from cutting a plywood sheet in half using the crosscut fence on the slider?
If that is the case, it occurs to me that this might be a good argument for the standard dust collection blade guard system, since it would be easier to remove the tubing, or better yet the hose could be suspened above the saw. I know others using this machine with me will want to know if we can handle cutting plywood in half.
I guess the issues are 1) is how hard is it to remove the overarm dust collection? 2) is there anything else preventing having 38" stock to the right of the blade for a crosscut??
?
