Re: Laser Kerf Line for slider saw?
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.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments.? I have 2 more rockers in production, but they are the classic Maloof..1 is in Birdseye maple and the other is in a really cool figured walnut.? Both will be for sale..I can't have 5 rockers laying around my house..haha
Mac..it is extremely comfortable.. I really love both of them..

David,
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.

this is not something that i stay up on but cutting cripples at 5 deg to get window sill to slope out is brilliant. we build 20 yrs ago and they did use cedar beveled window sills. one would think that this would have been done a decades ago.

Re: Any pictures out there of aftermarket rip fence DRO installs?
#whysoexpensive
I looked at the same for a K500 and for the rip side Imran is correct. This video is the best I found and was referenced when I asked a few weeks ago. I got a quote for the part and it was around $300-$350 depending on the options.
However, you will have to drill your rip fence block and some other parts. As I am looking to upgrade my saw in the future I did not look further.
As already said, Brian's aftermarket solution is for the outrigger fence and works only on a specific size (width) of outrigger fence and of course did not work on my outrigger fence.
Might be of interrest to you, when you order a saw or other machines from Felder, they do have some preconfigured machines/quotes that end up at a lower price that ordering the same machine with a custom quote. You can always add things to the preconfigured machine as your machine will be built on order, but you cannot remove things without looking at a huge price INCREASE....... You might be surprised about the effect of removing a small crew worth 1$ to the final price.

i 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.

Forgot to mention Brian Lamb has a very nice DRO flip stop available if you go with the non DRO fence on the new saw and change your mind later

Re: Any pictures out there of aftermarket rip fence DRO installs?

I would suggest factory, you can do after market for about $350 + you need a bracket. With factory you get a heavier fence. Don’t think the felder dro can be added at a later date without a lot of hassle and expense, the fence and way it locates is different than the non dro.?
