Hey all, I've been lurking here for a while, and have been appreciating the collective wisdom on offer here.? I may be placing an order for a Felder K700S table saw, and am contemplating which accessories to order.? I'm curious to hear people's thoughts about the parallel fence, versus a secondary crosscut fence.? It seems to me that a crosscut fence has a flip down stop that can be used to align the far end of a long piece, just the way one would use a parallel fence.? But I've never actually owned a parallel fence before.? Is there something about the parallel fence that makes a crosscut fence not be a good substitute?? I feel like a crosscut fence at the front end of the sliding table is more widely useful than a parallel fence, but I'm probably missing something.
