Re: sliding table saw: parallel fence vs 2nd crosscut fence? #k700s
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThe only accurate reference surfaces on the X-Roll sliding table are the two chamfered surfaces on the top of the P-channel. ? Otherwise, the sliding table is an aluminum extrusion made by squirting molten aluminum through a die in a manner similar to how Macroni is made, with features that vary as much as ¡À1mm. ?Have a look at the following post from earlier that discusses this aspect. ?/g/felderownersgroup/message/134309?p=%2C%2C%2C20%2C0%2C0%2C0%3A%3Acreated%2C%2Csaddle%2C20%2C2%2C0%2C103747009 The outrigger table aligns via this angled and machined surface with two saddles that mesh with the angled profile, and is the mechanism by which the outrigger table (and fence that attaches to it) go off and on the machine yet consistently register square to the travel of the sliding table. Machines with a longer sliding table are typically delivered as a ¡°kit¡± with the sliding table and overhead saw guards removed for transport, and thus require precise calibration and alignment during installation. ?You can see what¡¯s involved in aligning the sliding table by watching?, and for a $1,500 fee, Felder will send a technician to your shop to commission the machine and do the necessary calibrations and alignments, although not to the same level of accuracy as the method I document. ?If you do plan to install and commission the machine yourself, you will need some specialized tools to do the job -??is my curated list of ideal tools for this purpose. ???will show you the quickest and most accurate method of squaring a crosscut fence on the sliding table (the fence on the outrigger, or the shorter alternatives). ?Lots of ?other Felder-related resources on my??and?.
