Re: Upgrading slider

That configuration sounds like a winner. ?If the shaper add-on adds that much to the price of the machine, you¡¯d be better off getting a stand alone shaper later. ? Ask Brian to quote you on a DRO setup for your crosscut fence. ?

Do as Paul suggests. ?

You will need a 10HP PP or rotary to dive that motor. ?The 7.5HP PP unit is undersized IMO, but you might call PP and talk with them about it.

Did you talk with Fergus about commissioning the machine? ?That configuration will ship as a kit to be assembled on site. ?Setting up such a large slider is not trivial and requires specialized tools. ?Commissioning can be expensive, so get a quote on that.

Make sure you have the room in your shop for this beast. ?The attached drawings could be helpful to you. ?This is a Kappa 400 xMotion but the same overall dimensions apply to the configuration you are considering.
