Re: Felder DRO options ?
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI like DRO on Xcut. You get exact repeat, at least as long as you don¡¯t remove the xcut fence or change blade. For trimming, if I can measure the diff with caliper, it is one and done. The criticism is the weight of the digital xcut fence, so why not get Brian¡¯s DRO flipstop. You get an excellent machined flipstop (replacing Felder¡¯s need to bang into 90 deg) with DRO while keeping the std light weight fence. As discussed, not many need the DRO beyond the main fence (w/o extension). If you are cheap like some of us, just make a DRO holder and attach it to Felder flip stop for $100. It won¡¯t be a quality DRO, like Fiama, that Brian uses but it works as long as you are willing to change batteries every 4-6 months and possibly need to replace the DRO (for $50) if it craps out in few yrs.

?Thank you David for the detailed answer. It assures my initial thought. My initial thought was that cuts longer than 72¡± aren¡¯t that common and are mainly for rough cuts or don¡¯t really require the 0.1mm accuracy. (Today I mainly use my Kapex long cuts) I intend to use the mobile cart to store the xcut fence, so that is another reason to go with the analog fence. |
