Hi Lucky,

First I want to thank you for the help with my dust collector way back, and yes I still have a couple of issues with that.

my issues are so minor I haven't dealt with them.

I know that some here have had issues with Felder, I have not. I had my machines commissioned twice, again not their fault.California likes to turn off the power when there is a breeze. So they could not finish the commission and came back to complete at a later time at no cost to me.

I have called to have them come out again and fix the issues months ago and they said no problem, but with covid and my lack of time on the machines< i have delayed it as is so minor.

They have a list of every issue I have with every machine and to be honest half of that list has been eliminated because of the operator being me not knowing enough.

My issues:

The rip fence was not parallel to the blade and fixed that but it was late into the night as they wanted to not have to come back but we both forgot to reset the computer to the new setting.

I bought the 3rd right hand digital stop pre? David Best recommendation but it is programmed backwards and I found that it does not work with the angle compensation of the fence it sits on the shelf. I will deal with it at some point.

Lastly I have a sticky fence stop that the micro adjust does not work good, I'm sure it just needs to be taken apart and cleaned, but I don't really know how and I don't want to pull it off the fence in fear of going through resetting it. I found that I can set it easy without the micro adjustment.

Some day I will get these issues fixed as Felder is willing to come up and do it, but on the rip fence, I don't use much. I just add .05 and I am good and the sticky outrigger stop I can set that just as fast without the micro adjust.

Before I had two cabinet saws, A left hand tilt and a right hand tilt and they were good, but the Kappa blows them away. I love this saw.

And last, The screen that lets you program dado cuts so the saw adjusts automatically that I thought I would never use..? Use it all the time and have saved my settings ans so far perfect from job to job.

And to Mark, The flip stops have been fine for me no slop but I don't gang cut.

And I will say again I love this saw and the planer/jointer they are a pleasure to use.

Now if I could only get David Best to make a road trip to dial them as well as his, There would be music in the heavens. HInt, Hint, HInt.

Wouldn’t happen to be not square and plumb digital flip stops would it?

?Hi Glen:

I’d be interested to know what are your “minor issues” with the saw?

Warm regards,

Lucky

?I have the Kappa 400 X motion and love it.?

I went all digital and at first reluctant but very happy now. I have a couple of minor issues but nothing bad, just haven’t gotten around to getting them fixed.?

?After over 22 yrs. in my hobby shop I am changing things up having ordered my fourth and hopefully last saw. I started out in this shop with a Jet cabinet saw, then after 18 yrs decided to upgrade to a SawStop ICS which was a fine saw until I started investigating sliding crosscut for the SawStop and learned about euro sliding table saws. Unfortunately I didn’t know about this group at that time. Replaced my SawStop with the K500P and was hooked on sliders. I have really enjoyed using the K500 but wanted more, so decided to go through the trouble of buying a bigger Felder with 110” slider and all of the digital options. Will also be totally changing my shop layout and have my concrete floors ground down and have an epoxy finish done. I have 20 weeks to prepare for deliver of a Kappa 400 X-motion.? I’ve sold my K500 and it is being picked up in two days. Been busy disassembling everything in preparation for moving day.
