I think the large diameter washers next to the cast iron table should not be there¡. and you¡¯ll need to hang a square down over the table edge and make sure that the bar is parallel to the cast table, or alternatively the aluminum extrusion that holds the scale.

David,
I¡¯m going to disassemble the whole support bar and start over. ?I see the difference your pointing out. ?The two mounting threads that attach to the machine chassis, from the bar, were installed when the saw arrived and where snug down really good. Instruction manual was pretty basic here. ?So I figured I¡¯d better not touch them, maybe they were set at the factory, just not sure. ?But I think I¡¯ll need to loosen them up and maybe I can thread the rod into the bar further. ?The picture I¡¯ve attached, looking down on these two threaded rods, shows the right side is clearly out further from the machine chassis. ?And if I can get those in further, we¡¯ll then this gives me more thread on the other two that attach to the extension table. ?Are there any specs that you can recall on how far from the machine body the support bar should sit?
Here is video attached as well showing the rip fence assembly bouncing from one end to the other, if moved swiftly. ?Make sure to have the sound on when viewing too.
Thank You,
Wade

That round bar is not installed correctly. ?It should be closer to the machine chassis. ?Have a look at these two photos. ?Compare your gap in the first photo (green arrow), to the gap in the second photo (correctly positioned).

Sorry about that. Meant to attach these pics too. ?And good thought Mark, I¡¯ll send a video.?

Pictures? Hard to make any comments based on your description.
Hey FOG¡
I¡¯m not sure if I¡¯m the only one thinking this, but did Felder cheap out on the rip fence for my K 700 S? ?I¡¯m a bit disappointed in the some?of action in the rip fence. ?When I want to bring the fence over from the far side of the table (1200mm rip capacity) closer to the blade, and I want to move it in a fairly quick fashion, the fence wants to bounce a bit as it¡¯s being moved across the table. ?A bit annoying. ?Is the support wheel out of round? ?Just not sure. ?Then when installing the rip fence support bar, the mounting threads to the table extension are just barely long enough to?make the assembly. ?And now I was just making the calibration for the scale on the rip fence and I¡¯m getting accurate measurements off the scale at 0-20¡± then after that, as I get further away from the blade the scale is getting off. ?Is there a bend in the support bar that might be kicking the fence further away from the blade? ?Any thoughts?
Thx,
Wade
