?Newish Felder owner, first time posting... I bought a K700P this summer and added a Wixey DRO to the rip fence. The Wixey head and mag strip don't fit the extrusion on the front edge of the table, so I made another "extrusion" out of hardwood scrap to fit into the existing extrusion and present a profile that works for the Wixey. The hardwood piece is simply double-side taped in place, no permanent modification. My "extrusion" pushes the head out a little farther than necessary, could have been about 1/8" thinner and still work well. As for cost, the Wixey is pretty inexpensive. I figured if this didn't work out, I could use it on something else or sell it without being out much. But so far, it works well, not that I use it all that much. <20201203_134419.jpg> <20201203_134442.jpg> <20201203_134603.jpg> <20201203_134547.jpg>

Re: Laser Kerf Line for slider saw?
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Cindy, did you buy this model? how wide is the line with your setup? are you able to easily see it in well lit conditions? did it come with power supply? does not show any mounting hardware. did it come with any or you made your own?

? I bought one of the Quatron economy green line lasers and mounted it to a 9' ceiling over my saw. It makes a long bright green line right along the blade. Thank you to whoever started this thread for the idea! Very happy with this option. Is available at Infiniter.com or Amazon. Cindy Cindy Mathieu |

Re: Bare Naked Tstud
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýDavid, Why am i not surprised that you are up on this. inspectors are a pain. that is one thing about living out of city, 20 yrs ago, only inspection i needed was septic. the storage room i am finishing up will require an inspection but i expect it to be uneventful ?? i enjoyed the video and have subscribed to EC. thanks for sharing.

Re: Bare Naked Tstud
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýi think it was a caption that said, price on par with high end option. so i assume, equal to engineered studs. last i checked engineered stud was about 75%-80% more than premium stud and about double of lower cost studs. i have no clue but i wonder what is the lowest cost option to avoid thermal bridging. one only need to use these on the exterior walls for that purpose. imran On Dec 3, 2020, at 1:44 PM, tomruth@... wrote:
?Great idea. These would be nice for running electrical, but maybe harder to run a hole saw through them for plumbing.? I also wonder about cost? All this new technology is great, but comes at a cost. If money is no object then it's great, but some clients might find it hard to spend money on things in the walls that will never be seen.
