Thanks Brian, Yes the picture I show is mirrored and I was hoping someone had the file in the correct orientation.
It's not the original file in the files section, but one that I was starting to correct. Maybe I somehow mirrored it when I imported it? If you have the right one, I would appreciate it. Thanks Bill B

The post is on the wrong side for me, it should be on the left with the angle facing me. Is there another file that allows the block to go under the dust hood?
Don't need to reinvent the wheel...

Re: Digital Rip Fence mod on K500
Take some pictures of the fence housing on the bar so we can see what sort of room and position you need. Shouldn¡¯t be hard to come up with something.

Thanks,
After having cut the parts, drill holes in the housing fence, I realized that the fence is way way too small to use machine screws from inside to outside. Also the fence housing is way too close to the saw scale for the solution in the video. The sensor is bigger than the space you have between the housing and the saw scale.
It seems that the only way to mount the sensor is either under the actual fence or to the side of the housing using a custom made block to get everything dial in within the 1 mm margin as well as the 1 degree margin.
On this saw, it looks like the basic wixey solution attaching on the side is the easy way to go.

Bill, I created a notched version and loaded it on the website. See if that works for you.

Thanks so much David. Nice stuff! What I was looking for was an STL file that I could print in nylon.

Re: Digital Rip Fence mod on K500
You don¡¯t have to use the cover strip, but it does protect the soft magnetic layer. I would use it.

Stupid question about the magnetic strip,
The product comes with two strips, one thick that is supposed to the magnetic strip and one thin that is supposed to be a cover strip for protection.
I guess I have to install the magnetic strip first and then add the stainless steel cover strip on top of it? I also wonder whether I need the protective strip or for this application this is not needed?
Thanks,
Bill

Now, I will rest easy if the other stile will go in with 6 floating tenons.

Thanks Tim. Will share when done. Wife excepts it finished by May. Will see, I have my doubts.

Thanks David, I¡¯ll revisit the leveling and the toe-out, and I understand that the slider is otherwise about as good as it is going to get.?

Re: Replacing drive belt for scoring blade on KF 700
Nevin,
When this happened on my Hammer, the tech instructed me to tilt the blade to 45 degrees to facilitate access, and to lower the scoring unit to the lowest position. It was pretty easy from there.?
He also advised me to take the tension off of the belt by lowering the unit after each use.

Not sure on the KF but on the k700s that i use to have you have to crawl into the cabinet? ?Good day. I'm a semi-retired physician in Victoria, Tx with a KF 700 I purchased new in 2015. My problem is finding the way to replace the drive belt for my scoring blade. I recently found it in the bottom of the machine split apart. I've seen the single picture in the Felder User Manual that shows how it runs, but no instructions on how to replace with a new belt that I recently ordered form Felder.
It seems the problem is the idler pully below the scoring drive pully that has spring tension to tighten the belt once installed. With so little room to work thru the saw arbor gap, I can't release the spring or pull up enough so the belt will go over all the pullys. I have David's Guide but couldn't find a solution there. I'm sure some of you smart Felder owners have done this & know the solution. Thanks in advance.

Wide belt roller conditioning
Hi all,
Any preference to truing up the main roller?
I haven't done it before,? but one option was full width abrasive glued to MDF.? The other is to place a narrower strip on a diagonal.? ?Third option?
Grit suggestions also welcome.?
