Re: KF700S assembly warning stickers
David,
Thank you for sharing the excellent video. Your process, as filmed, must assume the cast iron table is properly installed to the chassis - or have you previously?checked this? The table appears evenly spaced above the chassis and coplanar (carpenter level). The table is virtually flat across but has a .004" lengthwise dip at the right edge increasing to a worst case of .012" just forward of the blade ?- as measured with feeler gauges under a Starrett 36" straight edge. I am sure the shaper cutout doesn't help with this. ?
The palouse is beautiful and Walla Walla is great?- but I admit I gravitate?to Napa cabs.?

?Hello Matt,?
Although I¡¯m a bit of a distance from you (Portland Oregon), I know your area well for a few reasons.? First, the rolling hills of the Pullman area are a photographer¡¯s paradise when the wheat crops come in and during harvest:
Second, you are close to the heart of some amazing wine areas - that I have frequented often.?
And third, you are very close to WallaWalla and Whitman College where my daughter got her degrees and I enjoyed visiting. ?Nice place.?
It¡¯s unfortunate that your sliding table is lower than the cast-iron top. That means you will have to go through a pretty serious adjustment process to bring it up to the proper height, and also ensure that it stays at the proper height throughout the full travel of the sliding table. You¡¯re going to need some special tools to do this, but the basic process I have laid out in a YouTube video that you can find at the following link. Attached is my latest suggestion for tools to commission and align your Felder equipment.
If you were just a bit closer I might drive up and help you out.? Perhaps on my next travels to Seattle to visit my daughter I could be persuaded to divert into the wine country and out into the hills. We will see.
