Hi Andy,
I¡¯m dead in the water. ?No manual or override available.
I¡¯ve just had the worst luck with their service. ?This is my third issue with the machine and each time dealing with Felder Tech has been awful! ?
I¡¯ve been lied to and misinformed by my sales person from day one and it¡¯s been down hill ever since. ?
I¡¯m starting to contemplate the selling of my two Felder pieces and just be done with them. ?
Thx,
Wade

All these issues with the power drive feature. On these higher end saws is there an alternate way to raise and lower the blade (ie handwheel)?? Or are they dead in the water when the power drive goes down?? I looked briefly through the manual and pictures but I don¡¯t see a handwheel for power drive outfitted machines.?
I¡¯m slumming it with the hammer line and stuck using a handwheel like a caveman so forgive the question if it seems obvious.?
Hi James,
Hey I¡¯ve never been over to Austria, but maybe, with their twisted mind set, all of the car dealer lots have their cars up on blocks. ?
* Another side note regarding absolutely horrible Felder service on my Power Drive issue for my K700S.? Saw went down on 1/4, created service ticket on 1/5, I¡¯ve had one call regarding this issue in the last 14 days and that call entailed instructions for me to vacuum and clean out the inside of the cabinet to see if that fixes the issue of the blade not rising.? I told him it¡¯s already been done and it¡¯s spotless inside.?
That was on Tuesday, no word since! ?
Two weeks down and counting. ?
Thx,
Wade

It is absurd?and ridiculous that a 10K+ saw does not come with a brand new blade. Who would buy a car without tires?
James
Installation/Commissioning on a K700S is $1,395, they also like you to buy a new blade and scorer at the same time, so its there for setup.

Regards K1 / K2, I've personally got it on my AD941, and I love it, albeit its easy to overshoot your desired thickness, easy to resolve, but wish the incremental up was 0.1mm/push, sometimes can be a pain to get a single momentary push out of it.
For the table saw, I opted for just the Hammer-style "Digital" indicator, for normal saw operation, the digital readout for me is pretty much overkill, would only ever be used for dado tooling, the tilt is a little more helpful, but I found the repeatability of the "Digital" indicator on my A31 machine was fine, so assuming the angle version is simmilar. DRO for the fence is different, I'm likley going to add DRO at a later stage.
That said, if it was a shaper, I'm a proponent of DRO for everything possible, to reduce the need for subjective setup blocks.
