Approximately three years prior to purchasing my KF-7X (which I took
delivery of in early 1999), I visited a Robland dealer in Silver Spring,
Md. This is close to where I live in Clifton, Va. I visited on three
occasions and on two of them spent about 3.5 hours each just fiddling
with the machine, running it, and generally getting accustomed to its
operation. After that, I decided not to buy one.

My decision was based largely on the X-31's engineering:

1. It did not run smoothly. Even with no load on the machine, the saw
table vibrated noticeably. This was unacceptable for a machine of this
type.

2. There was play in the sliding table. I can't remember whether it was
lateral or vertical.

3. The sliding table required floor support.

4. The main table was not flat and the extensions seemed not to mate
correctly.

5. I can't remember the capacity of the motors, but I do remember that I
felt that they were not large enough.

6. The table didn't seem to be designed with accessories in mind.

In addition, I felt that the dealer support wasn't strong enough. I
never got far enough to decide if the factory support was adequate.

I may have had other concerns which I have since forgotten. However,
these were enough to convince me that I would not be happy with the
purchase.

I hope that you will take this as my 'personal' opinion only. It's based
solely on my needs, some of which are admittedly eccentric. Thus, it may
not apply to others or to their situations. However, satisfying those
needs as well as the more obvious engineering needs was a part of my
overall goal. Felder has done both, so my marriage to Felder has been a
good one, one that I've not yet regretted.
