If you don't think Brian's parallel guides and mac's clamps are worth it, use your saw until you do. It took me something like 2 years to get to the light!

Hi Wade,
When I purchased my KF700SP in 2018, I looked at the Felder version of the parallel fence and determined it is too delicate for my taste.? I was afraid I would hit the tail of the guide or walk into it and damage it.? I have not checked it out since, so I don¡¯t know if it has changed.? I elected to go with Brian¡¯s digital parallel fence.? At the time it was a more robust option.? Put simply, it is a quality addition to the saw, along with Mac¡¯s clamps.? I use the parallel fence in conjunction with the digital stops on my crosscut fence, then use Mac¡¯s clamps to secure the stock to the slider before cutting.? Proper setup all but guarantees accuracy.
Good luck,
Alex
?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!
Wade
