The base price for the K940S on Felder¡¯s site is $16,490.? Figure about $3500 for the dado cutters and rotary phase converter.? This leaves about $7,010 for the cost of added options.
?
We know that he has these added options:
?
- Electrical tilt of saw blade
- LED-display for angle and height
- Easy-lock ¨C tool free quick change system on main saw blade
- Cutting width 49¡± (expanded table on rip side)
- Automatic rip fence for 49-1/2¡±, control panel positioned under sliding table
- On and off switch on sliding table (about $1100 option)
- DRO digital cross cut flip-stop (about $1200 option and requires the Format4 crosscut fence)
?
?
?
He may have these two options as well (you should ask him):
- Scoring unit 1.1 kW (1.5HP)
- Electrical height adjustment of scoring blade with automatic rise/fall
- Scoring unit status light
?
?
I can definitely see all these options adding up to $7k.? He may have gotten a discount from his sales rep when he purchased the saw (Felder typically has a summer sale and a winter/christmas sale when they do allow sales rep discounts).? Ultimately, it¡¯s up to you.? One potential issue is that his pictures show a bunch of debris/gunk on the surfaces of the machine.? I don¡¯t know if this is free-flowing sawdust or some gunk/stain that got stuck onto the metal.? I don¡¯t know why people just can¡¯t clean up their tools when they take ¡°for sale¡± pics.? I would imagine you would want the best presentation when trying to sell your tool.
?
The fact that it¡¯s been up on the site for something like half a year could be a symptom as well.? If you were really interested, I would go visit the saw and see how well it works/performs.? If you go test it, I would ask him to install a set of dado cutters to make sure.? Some Felder saws may not have been manufactured as "prepped for dado".
The K940S averages 1950 lbs, which is more robust than the K700S at 1628 lbs.
