Re: KF700sp and AD741 used pricing
David, The easy glide is a step up. My Profile shaper had easy glide but the spindle position was controlled by motors so I don¡¯t have a direct comparison of hand wheel to hand wheel from old

David, That makes perfect sense. There is brick, on the wall, where this is going. I know the guy whose house it is going in but I am primarily helping my neighbor who decided to take up this

Re: KF700sp and AD741 used pricing
This KF700 has a double trunion - not the single trunion from the pre-2004 era Brian is talking about. What it does not have is the new EasyGlide (Delrin) runners in the trunion, so it requires lube

Re: Mantle Build Question
Yea, if you did that you¡¯d have to sheetrock down to the mantle after. In the case I was working on, we had gone back to the studs throughout the house, installed the brackets (for the mantle and a

Re: Mantle Build Question
A little math, and envisioning of the physics can also be useful.? Your mantle timber weighs about 130 pounds (2.8 cu ft x 45#/cu ft). Assuming studs on 16" centers, you'll have three studs to attach

Re: KF700sp and AD741 used pricing
Mike, You made the right call in my opinion. The price being demanded is for a pristine machine with everything in excellent working order. Having said that, I have 2002 KF700 and no issues with

Re: KF700sp and AD741 used pricing
When looking at any machine that hangs the guts from the cast iron table, you want to put a straight edge across near the opening to look for any depression in the top. Beefing up the casting is

Re: KF700sp and AD741 used pricing
Thanks Brian for your description. I'm sure that the older trunnion may be just fine, but it does require more cleaning, lubrication and perhaps fussing with adjustments. ?That being said both saws

Re: KF700sp and AD741 used pricing
The older machines have a single trunnion affair and it supports the whole spindle and motor system on one end of the assembly. This brings into account an adjustment nightmare dealing with ¡°angle
