Re: Helping friend determine value of kf700 pro 2002

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I have a better feel for the old iron market than Felder but I'd pay in the 4-5K range for a very good condition KF7 series with some tooling but not much more for the first version of the 700 series.? The change in base design with basically the old internals was not an improvement as much as a cost savings.? Later post 2004 machines would demand a little higher price.? This market is weird and if close enough to transport yourself and run in person, it might be a deal at 5500-6500 if it has spindles, blades, and? a feeder.? Dave

Keith,

There are many variables and accessories making it hard to use sale data. A machine used by a hobbiest is infinitely more desirable. Occasionally, a machine may come for sale from a business that for some reason did not get used but in general I avoid that.

Keep in mind that this is a big investment for most and these are hard/expensive to transport. You can easily spend $500 to check a machine out and $1000 to transport. If you are in CA, these number may be considerably less as most machines come up in that market. So don¡¯t discount the fact that you have found something ¡°known¡± and I assume it is close by.

Here is a machine that recently sold. I helped this family with pricing their equipment. If you need to contact me my number is 765-210-7645. Just to be clear for folks here and you this help is offered free of charge.

Here is a lesser machine currently at an auction ending in few days:

Here is my take on your question. A fair price for a well kept machine should be 65% of what your friend paid for it. Another way, to arrive at the price is to price a new machine and you should not be paying more than 50% of new.

Hope this helps.

Imran

?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.

?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.
