Thank you David,

Great info. ?I was wondering about dado blades for my new slider. ?These are nothing like the American cabinet saw dado blade sets, that’s for sure.

They are pricy! ?But hey cry just once right.

Does the “set” come with shims or do you buy those individually? ?I see myself making 1/4 to 3/4” dados, so I guess I’ll need both of them. ?It’s nice that Felder gives you a small break on the set cost though.

There is one thing I can really appreciate with these slider designs, and that is the blade changing access. ?So much better then my Powermatic was.

?Hi Jonathan,

I have been using several Felder saw blades on my K3 for a few weeks

now. I have the universal Classic (10", black colored blade), a

scoring blade to go with that blade, and the diamond tipped blade they

sell. I don't have any basis for comparison, but the classic 10"

(universal) when used with the scoring blade cuts plywood beautifully

with little to no tear out. The expensive diamond tipped one cuts

equally well (but without the scoring unit). Others can chip in if

there are cheaper but equally good alternatives out there. I imagine

there are. This place (https://ridgecarbidetool.com/), for example,

sells table saw blades with the appropriate bore and pin cut outs, but

they seem about as expensive as the Felder ones.

As an aside, I also bought the full dado set for my saw and have been

very happy with it.

Hello,

Did anyone try the Felder circular saw blades?

Are they worth the price or are we paying a lot for the "Felder" engraved on the blade?

I see they have 2 ranges of blades, the "Classic" (the black one) and the "Silver", the price difference is quiet big between both range (at least in my country). Any advise?

FYI, I am not a professional woodworker, I am just a hobbyist.

Thanks

Jonathan

John:

When I was assembling my K700S, one of the steps was to free the saw carriage from its a restraining bolt in the carriage assembly (my apologies, as I'm making-up the terminology). The restraining bolt (which kept the carriage at a non-90 degree angle during shipping), was not documented in the manual - I called the Tech people at Felder, and they mentioned the restraining bolt. Once the bolt is removed, the carriage swings to its 90 degree position.

Take Care.

Is the pallet with the machine base configured so it can be picked up from the side, instead of from the end?

Supposedly mine will be shipped from Delaware, leaving by the end of next week.
