I am looking to upgrade my current slider (K3 with 2000mm slider)
?
I think I'll go with the Felder K700s.
Felder currently offer a promotion on the following configuration:
1 x 230V 4.0HP (3.0kW) motor
Industrial motor driven scoring blade
Dado prepped
Angle display in hand wheel
110" X-roll sliding table with remote start/stop on end of slider
49" rip capacity with fine adjustment.
1500 outrigger
102" crosscut fence with flip stop.
?
Is there is something I miss in this configuration?
Few things I am still debiting
1)Do I want DRO on the rip fence?
If so, to get the one on Felder I'll need to get a special build (6-7 months wait)
I can also go with aftermarket DRO (like Lamb tool DRO)
2)I never worked with a shaper before.
I wonder if I want to maybe go with the combination machine and have a shaper?
My initial impression is it will be PITA to swap from saw to shaper and I'll default to go and just use the router table.
But what do you think?
