Re: Fine Adjustment for Rip Fence on Hammer B3
Hi Brian,
i do not have hammer and cannot help you with DIY micro adjust but can offer something on blade guard. my KF700 has the splitter (riving knife) mounted blade guard. i did not like having to remove it when making buried cuts. so long story short, some here have gone with aftermarket overhead solutions. Shark is one that i can think of. if you are interested in overhead solution, you can search here. i am sure it is couple of hundred vs $75 replacement so it is definitely not a cheaper option. another reason for going in this direction is for better dust collection. some have enlarged the opening of their stock felder guard for this purpose as well. you should be able to those posts here as well.
congratulations on your purchase.
Imran

Re: Thoughts on going from K500 P to K700 S
JP, ? So I have a KF700 with 2m slider and wanted a separate saw & shaper and a longer slider. So I went with K975, granted buying used was super cost effective. It would not matter a bit if I get my money¡¯s worth out of it ¨C however one would calculate that ¨C I am 60.5 yrs of age. As far as I am concerned, it pays every time I enter the shop and of course even more when I use it. I could do everything before it just makes it easier and more enjoyable. I am not sure how you will approach this decision but mine is as simple as I stated and hope it helps. ? Imran ?

Re: Thoughts on going from K500 P to K700 S
I¡¯m the same age, if you can afford the upgrade, do it and don¡¯t look back. Life is too short to not enjoy what you are doing¡ I just lost a good friend and an ex-brother-in-law and they were both younger than I¡ kind of makes you put things in perspective.

Re: Sliding Table Saw Felder K700 S - Minnesota
I bought a 2000 KF700S Professional in May, $6950, hobby use only, 3 shaper spindles, 3 phase, 3 motors,? body of the saw appears to be a clone of this one, in northern Wisconson.? (No overhead guard or air clamps though).? I agree that this is a bit over priced. ?? This saw is about 5 mi into Minn from the S Dakota border, i.e., not close to anything.

Re: Thoughts on going from K500 P to K700 S
If you go the full boat the cost difference from k700 to k940 isn¡¯t that much (at least in my case) of course then you need to add phase conversion that adds to and before you know it you¡¯ve spent 3-5k more than you planned...
You should commission it yourself, there is really not much to it and you will learn a lot about the saw which will help in the future + 1k in your pocket...

Re: I found the Altendorf....
It sold, but i couldnt tell what year it was. Also, what length was the slider??
I will have to start another thread one day comparing some of the higher end brands of sliders. I know next to nothing about Altendorf models through the years. I started a thread on sawmill creek about vintage Martin models prior to 2000.Its hard to find someone that knows all the specifics on these models through the years. What to look for, how much, etc.?

Re: Phase Converter Wanted
Cliff, ? I have corrected myself many times here but looks like I have to pay my dues for the bad info I put out. I never said PP had choppy output, I was incorrectly concerned with a higher voltage. A VFD on the other hand, by design, puts a PWMed voltage output. This is where a transistor (IGBT to be specific) is turned on/off (10KHz is common) to conserve power expended. This is the reason that a VFD can be the side of a loaf of bread and weigh nothing compared to the size and weight of PP. It does appear that PP is getting smaller and lighter though. Here is a scope plot of my VFD. Yellow is the voltage and green is the current. As you can see voltage is discontinuous (on/off) and current is continuous. Motor runs fine as long as current is continuous. ?
