Hi Alex,?
?
I did modify a DS400 to fit on the Felder tilt bracket for my KF700SP. I don't think I have any photos, but I took an angle grinder to the base and removed some material from the one side that was interacting with the pneumatic cylinder plate. My memory is that removing the cast iron material from the base on just the one side was sufficient to allow installation, without any loss in strength or stability.?
?
That being said, I found that the DS400 was meaningfully more heavy than a normal DC40. I'm 45 years old, 6'2" tall, ~200 lbs, and it was a workout for me to swing the power feeder into position. Not a problem if you're planning on leaving it up most of the time, but I'd really give it some careful thought if you're planning on swinging it up and down with any regularity.?
?
Lastly, I found that the Smart Stand is tall enough that it rested on the ground when swung into the lower position, so if you opt to keep it you may need to jack up your KF700SP a couple inches, and may still need a rubber pad for the stand to rest on since I don't know how well the Felder bracket will hold up to the weight.?
?
All of the above being said, the Smart Stand is a pleasure to work with, I'm really enjoying using it on my TF-130.?
