Thanks so much for the feedback. I think there is just The apprehension of going from something I know (cabinet saw)to a new way of working with a machine like the Felder.
I will be able to work with the machine at my friends shop to Practice on it. Really appreciate the help

Slider vs. cabinet saw is a no brainer, the quality of work goes up considerably and the speed that you can complete it drops dramatically. The safety factor on a slider is worth considering too, with clamps to hold the material in place, you never need to get your hands close to a blade, or stand in line with possible kickback.
?Thank you so much. I will look at the slider to verify the size. I am just in the process of determining whether or not to get a song like this in place of my cabinets. I am a hobbyist bud appreciate good quality but I am still searching the pros and cons of this versus a cabinet saw. Any direction you can send me would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 2001 machine¡ is your slider 8 foot or 9 foot? You can¡¯t really cut 8¡¯ sheets on an 8¡¯ machine without having the blade at full height and a 12¡± blade. I have some troubles with the 9 foot slider and a fence with clamps.
As for worth, based on older sales, I¡¯d guess in the $7500 range, but with the current situation on extended deliveries, that might go up a bit, especially depending upon accessories and condition.
looking into purchasing a ?KF 700 pro, 2002 model from the friend and trying to determine value of it. It has the 8 foot sliding table and numerous attachments. It is in excellent shape and has been well cared for. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
