K940 S commission length/time/how long?
Once tech arrives.?
machine is unpacked and everything is neat and ready to go.
how long does it take to commission?

I would just use flat joint and glue and overlap edges to trim later , no advantage to all the extra step. I just use a couple micro pinner To position and than clamp edge to edge. Designing and building for 47 years

Re: KF 500 zero clearance saw insert
Hey John - Are you using manual methods to shape to fit? Wondering if anyone has the digital outline of the K700 version so I can fabricate it with the CNC.?

Re: KF 500 zero clearance saw insert
Thanks to everyone for the help. ?I did make one but I didn¡¯t think to angle cut it to add material for strength. ?I¡¯ll make another one with the angle cut for more strength.

I think that the video shows a more completed procedure?than needed. I used 5/16" thick Garolite from McMaster-Carr that is the correct thickness. I tapered the side that goes under the slider for strength. -- Jerry P

They calls it "Torbandschraube" per the KF 700 SP schematic drawings.? It's an M8 size bolt.? Google translates it to "carriage bolt."? Is it unusual for European to use this type of bolt???

Resurrecting this thread, for trimming thicker, solid wood edge banding I completely forgot to mention the Betterly flush trim router setup:??
This setup will trim up to 1-1/2" wide edge lipping in a single pass.?
Betterly is based in Minnesota, ~20 minutes North of Minneapolis. They specialize in making custom router bases, primarily catering to the various counter top trades (laminate, solid surface). They perform all of their milling/machining in-house.?

Re: KF 500 zero clearance saw insert
I don't know how different they would be; here's a video for making an insert for a Hammer?
I'll be making one once my B3 is delivered.

Re: KF 700 cutting a sheet of plywood in half
Just the rip fence which you can tilt backwards and get off the table, and the mounting post for the overhead saw guard.

Re: Saw blade sharpening service?
Where are you located?
A place has been recommended here in St. Louis. Leitz is in Ground Rapids, MI. I am sure Leitz have other locations. I am sure there are west coast options which I have not paid attention to.

?Schematics of the K vs. KF overhead saw guard and the locking/release latch that David is referring to.
The overhead guard of a circa 2019 KF 700 SP rests on a carriage bolt when it is in its default position (i.e. not swung away toward the in-feed side of the saw). Flipping this up-side-down might run into sagging issue, assuming it is possible. The schematic drawings might help you decide.

When I looked at upgrading from my K975, I explored the overhead guard swing-away capabilities of the Kappa 400 as well as the K700. ?This was in 2015, so things could have changed on the 700-series. ? But at that time, the 700-series machines had a swing-away capability that rotated at the support column, bringing the saw guard toward the In-feed side of the machine. ?The Kappa 400 with its overhead display unit blocking that swing direction has the saw guard swing toward the outfeed side of the machine. ?Of course the locking/release latch is on the mounting post (across the room), but I solved that by adding a release cable brought over to the saw guard housing. ?I use it all the time to get the guard out of the way. ? ?

I don't have a machine yet, but am planning my purchase for a KF 700. My thinking is that if the pivot point were in the same place that Felder has it now, it would swing out of the way counterclockwise. Learning that it is impractical (and inadvantageous) to remove the guard for such cuts, I started thinking of ceiling mount options. Looking around for examples, or products, I didn't find much that looked suitable. So, I remembered this thread in which you said you had modified the Felder Guard to suit your needs. Here is my question:
Do you think it would be feasible and make sense to mount the felder overarm guard from the ceiling from the same post (added on to, of course) that normally attaches to the right side of the table? Instead of attaching to the machine at this position, the attachment square tube would be flipped and go up toward the ceiling attachment.
