Speaking of lost braking, I just got my single phase K700 a few months ago. It seems to run well but it takes a long time to come to a stop. I never noticed this before on any other saw I owned.? Is this normal for the newer single phase K700s?

I didnt got that route with my KF700S (2001), instead using an RPC.? ?But I wouldn't feel nervious doing it.?? -- Terry Therneau
