Re: Felder K 700 S comsidering.

Hi all,
I agree with Mr. Bird.? I am waiting for a K 700S that I ordered in Nov?of 23 and should arrive in about 8 weeks. I just saw a Kappa X-Roll with DROs, 126" slider,??looks like loaded with programing control for $15.5K located in Florida. Even after shipping across the country I would have saved several thousands. - Yes, seriously look at used machines but the devil IS "in the details.?
Good luck.? ou asked a great question Scott Glaser

I don¡¯t want to offend anyone but what I¡¯ve seen is that there are quite a few hobbyist woodworkers who buy after retirement and then 10 - 20 years down the road find they aren¡¯t spending as much time in the shop and sell lightly used, beloved and well-cared for equipment.
That said, I did not follow my own advice and bought new : )?

Why not go with a used saw? I stepped up from an Oliver 270 to an older k700s and after a couple of years with it I now know if I bought a new saw what I'd really value. Hello,
This is my first post and joined yesterday.? I¡¯ve been seriously considering purchasing a new K 700 S.? I am a firefighter in Michigan and soon will be retiring.? I am a hobbies woodworker now but hope to supplement my pension with a small amount from woodworking.? I currently have a saw stop.? I¡¯ve spoken to Altendorf as well but that machine is literally double the price of the K700S.? I was wondering if I should, first off, pull the trigger and buy a slider and also, is the Altendorf (WA 80) THAT much better than the Felder? ? I appreciate this site as I have found lots of great information in my research.? Thank you in advance.?
