Wade I have 5¡¯ of clearance both in ripping and crosscutting a sheet of plywood. Not the most ideal situation but my L shape shop layout means that all machines with long in/out feed need to be lined up with the longer 40¡¯ leg of my 1000 sq ft L shape shop layout. That includes the 16" jointer, 24 3/4¡± planer,?
And slider. My wide belt is oriented to in line with the shorter leg of the shop.

Dan,
If the planer is causing the support fence not to clear, does this also mean you don¡¯t have the capability to straighten line a full sheet of plywood that is 4¡¯ wide? ?That would be a bummer for me. ?I process a lot of sheet goods.?

Not a great pic do you can see what I mean with the planer being in the way of the parallel fence. The support itself is fine, it¡¯s only a problem when I try to use the parallel fence attachment past 10¡± or so.?

If you put your K700 on feet you may be able to get the parallel guide to ride over the planer?

Felder sent me their parallel fence for free as part of the thanksgiving promo sale that happened just after I ordered my k700s. My shop layout doesn¡¯t allow me to use the parallel fence in its fullest capacity since my planer is in the way. I mainly use mine as an extra material support with plywood and as a butt bar.?

I have both and prefer Brian¡¯s. Its lighter and simpler to use. I have the digital version, not sure if Felder makes one or not. The Felder version I have is analog. I still use the Felder as a base to support plywood panels without the fence part.

Hey F.O.G.
I¡¯m in need of a parallel fence to use with my K700S.? Unless you make your own, I see only two marketed ones to choose from, Felder¡¯s version vs Lamb¡¯s version.? I see pros/cons with both.? Please remember I¡¯m a newbie and still learning what these machines are capable of.? Just reaching out, to you seasoned slider users, to see if I could ask what your preference was for a parallel fence choice.? And if there¡¯s obvious things to consider when making this decision.? Thank You members!
