Re: Helping friend determine value of kf700 pro 2002
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýKeith, I should have mentioned that my KF is a 2002 and I bought it new. Xroll slider is desirable and a machine with Xroll will command a higher price but the older slider with 2 slots has it¡¯s benefits, especially if you intend to use short xcut fence. I can¡¯t tell if mine has degraded over the years.?I have both sliders, pre Xroll on KF and Xroll on K975 and I believe both will last my lifetime. David Best just put a video out. If you can check your friend¡¯s machine and confirm following are good or can be adjusted to be good, you will never mess with the trunion (from survival guide): Lack of dado is the key feature missing from this vintage of machine.

? 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 On Jul 27, 2021, at 7:39 AM, keith meyer <Meyer.keith25@...> wrote: ?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
