when I am xcutting relatively narrow stock I move my outrigger to approximately middle of slider. This gives me good access to K975 switch panel.

My add on switches are nearly as pretty but I got some coiled cord from McMaster and mounted a box that could be mounted anywhere on the slider like a butt bar.? The original switches on the Knapp would be more convenient if located in Tibet so I added several
while I was at it.? The nice thing about being able to move the switches on the slider is when crosscutting stock on the outboard end and the front of the table isn't convenient.? Dave

Brandon,
A high end (expensive) solution is based upon Schneider Harmony. There is a post on that as well. The poster did a pendent because multiple switches won¡¯t fit in slider. IIRC, if you want just start switch it might fit. I think the poster was
also concerned about push force and did not feel comfortable with that, i.e. slider movement concern while pushing the button.
I went the route I did because I wanted 3 switches.
Final note, if you want to install pneumatic clamps, keep that plumbing in mind while you approach installing remote start/stop switches in the slider.
My install works with pneumatic clamps.
Imran?
?Is there any way to determine what options are available to retrofit a machine with the remote slider buttons? Mine has the belt driven scoring blade so I only need one start button. Stop probably isn't as big an issue since the table will be
out of the way at that point.
My reading of the prior posts indicates that the switches used to be wired, but are now wireless. Which would be the preferred option for a 2018 KF700SP machine? Is this an "easy" retrofit for someone (me) with an industrial controls background? If so, and
someone already has a parts list and schematic available, that would be awfully handy. I haven't gotten into my machine yet, but I'm assuming they are using a standard set of terminals and a contactor, adding parts based on the options ordered.
Thanks,
Brandon
