¿ªÔÆÌåÓýMichael,Let me refer you to the configurator for the KF700: ? Click on ¡°Specifications/Configurator¡± and you¡¯ll see all the available options for the machine. The ¡°analog¡± crosscut fences (where you set the crosscut stop by aligning to a tape measure marking by sight) are options 166 and 169. ? This is how you set the stop on either of these fences: ? Option 166 extends 74 inches to the left of the saw blade, and has a telescoping extension that will carry the crosscut stop to 102 inches. ? ?Option 169 extends 81-inches to the left of the saw blade and has a telescoping extension that will carry the crosscut stop to 126-inches. ? Option 169 has a different outrigger table arrangement with it¡¯s own X-Roll mechanism for angling the fence. ? The telescoping extension on both 166 and 169 can be removed to save weigh or shorten the overall length the fence stick-out by about 7 inches when not in use. Option #171 provisions the machine with a different and entirely different crosscut fence that has a digital cross stop with LED readout position indication that can be used out to 74¡± length. ?That digital stop looks like this: Beyond the 74" length, the telescoping extension on the #171 fence is not digital - you sight against a ruler to set the distance just like the ¡°analog¡± fence discussed above. ? If you want a second digital crosscut stop dedicated to the telescoping extension component, that¡¯s option #172 which will give you digital readout and positioning beyond 74-inches - it also makes the fence really heavy. You can see more about the digital crosscut fence/stops here - although as you will see, this is a custom configuration with 3-stops: The KF700S can be optioned with an LED digital readout on the rip fence position. ? On the configurator, that is option #85 or #86 depending on the width rip capacity of the machine. ? That DRO looks like this: Hope this helps. Also, looking at the configurator again, I do not see a cautionary comment about the tilt-away bracket conflicting with the 1500 outrigger now. ? And looking at the photos, it appears to me that the tilt-away bracket attachment to the cast iron top as been redesigned - probably to eliminate the conflict - but you should double check nonetheless.
