Re: Upgrading slider

 

I unpacked the saw and found out that the factory ignored my request for metric scale and the crosscut fence arrived with with imperial units :angry-emoji:
It looks like the scale is permanent attached to the fence and not something that I can easily remove and swap (like the rip scale).
Is the fence doomed? (beside adding an ugly metric sticker on it which will probably won't be accurate)

Re: Machine Leveling

 

My K3 had leveling feet (or was it part of the mobility kit?)
Anyway I just order some Mcmaster


Re: Upgrading slider

 

I picked up my slider today from Felder warehouse in Sacramento and dropped of my old K3 slider.

I rented a 12 ft trailer from United rentals.
loading up the K3 was super easy with the mobility kit (As oppose to loading it on U-Haul trailer which was nightmare)

The pallet of the K700 is huge and we rotated the pallet in order to accommodate the 3.2m slider

When I tried to unload it with a pallet jack, the pallet jack was too small and the end of the pallet was still on the ground.?

At that point, even if I got a forklift I wasn¡¯t able to unload the pallet since the trailer wheels blocked the access from the side of the pallet. luckily the machine was oriented in such a way that I was able to build a ramp from the pallet on the trailer directly to the ground.
I was a stressful hour until I was able to securely placed the saw in its place .

PS.
PK, I almost made the trip (120 miles each direction) without stopping to charge. Each direction consumed 54% battery.
I stopped for 10 min charge on my way back and all blocked all the entire EVGo site. The charging stations don¡¯t accommodate vehicles that tow.?

But I'm at the limit of adjusting the motor, do you think its possible felder supplied the machine with a belt that is too long?

also, how would you clean the dust from all the area?
