My 2013 KF700S (painted green so not the current model) has the 1500 outrigger and it does not interfere with the power feeder when the tilt table is in the down position. I am not a strong man and an option I enjoy (3rd party option) is the pressurized cylinder to help with lifting the power feeder from the down position to above the table for use.

Michael,
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.

I didn't realize you could get a DRO on the fence. Do you mean a DRO on the stops on the crosscut fence, or a DRO on the table-saw style rip fence, or a DRO on Felder's slider rip fence? (There are a lot of potential fences here).
Also, when you say you removed the telescoping fence, do you mean you removed the telescoping portion, or that you switched the crosscut fence for the outrigger table with one of the smaller crosscut fences?
