Man, I’m feeling like I did not get all of necessary paperwork with my machine. ?I just went though all of my papers I have, and there’s nothing about that bar like you show. ?

Missing Support bar specs……shipping bolts for the saw that need to be removed……, what’s next. ?

Thank you for the information Mark,

?Also BTW did you contact Felder for the proper location of the bar? I haven’t read all the responses but as i said the spec is somewhere and now that I am home that somewhere is in the inspection sheets that came with your saw, min is on sheet 4 (or Seite 4 if you prefer) and is 114mm from edge of cast to outside of bar, yours may be different this is k940 see attached pic…

Nice Mark! ?The old “persuasion” method. ???

My approach was fairly easy too. ?I said send me a damn square one, I just dropped 20K on this B_ _ ch! ??

All in all, they actually have been really responsive so far. ?Been really good at answering questions and they have called me back three times now just to check in. ?Who does that?! ? Phillip has been exceptional over at Tech support too.

Thx,

?My flips were also out of square (the non dro on the k700) I ended up “persuading” them into squareness after giving up on Felder to replace them.?

I guess I get Tech involved again to find out where this bar is to be located.?

- Side note -

Felder just sent me a brand new flip stop for the short crosscut table, because I discovered it wasn’t square to the fence. ?But get this, is can be out of square and still be within their tolerance. ?Is can be up to .25mm out of square and it’s not a warranty issue. ?Luckily mine was .33mm plus. ?They asked me to send them a video showing the amount it was out, with the use of my feeler gauges. ?Here’s an attachment that they send me to follow. ?And they said to perform step number 2. ?

Thx,

Mike,

I do not think that large stand-off is a good thing. I have similar standoff as David shows. That bar is heavy and I was kinda concerned that the right side two bolts go to the steel extension tables.

As I write this it sounds crazy, but I know that bar sagged once it was only attached to the cast iron (left side 2 bolts). Not sure if the bolt was giving or what. I recall supporting the right end of the bar where I was satisfied that the bar is at same level as the saw table before attaching the two right side bolts. This was on K975.

I am not sure if the large standoff will stress the bolts but it sure is not helping.

Wade:

I've attached two photos of my K700S rip fence guide rail, nearest the blade. From what I can tell from your photos, the guide rail position looks similar to mine. I agree that the stand-off (of the guide rail from the saw) is large - the key is whether the stand-off distance is identical for all attachment points. I can't comment on whether your fence is in-round or otherwise.

I'm not a fan of Felder's engineering on this point. Anytime you have the rip fence close to the blade, and the handle clamped down, access to the height adjustment handle and lockdown lever is awkward.?

Take Care.

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).

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
