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 trunion. So I personally would not walk away based upon that but if I cannot check the machine then the price has to reflect that. I completely understand that double trunion is preferred. I would not buy a used machine of this size and price if I could not test it, put a precision edge on it and check the arbor runout.

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 cheaper than beefing up the base so many machines now use the
table to support mechanicals.? That is also aided by the smaller frame lighter weight motors and lighter components.? Some lower end machines also cheat on the table so the design isn't always better than using the base as the anchor.? Straight edges, feeler
gauges, dial indicators, and a good level ( like Brian's ) are your friends.? Don't leave home without them.? Dave

Re: KF700sp and AD741 used pricing
Brian,
I know that but I was wondering what Mike thought.
I ran 40 pound cutters on the year 2000 F700z I had with single trunnion and it worked. ?Hansjorg Felder told me the single trunnion was strong enough when I toured the Felder factory. ?
That said I would not recommend running 40 pound cutters for production but a hobby user running 6 or even 8¡± cutters on a single trunnion will be fine.
I think price is the limiting factor for this lot but I would not worry about the trunnions.?

Re: Mantle Build Question
David,
Thanks for the details. I guess if I were to do this, i will probably epoxy the brackets in the mantle and then bolt the verticals to the studs while keeping mantle level. This on account of my ability to free hand drill as required to do this right.

Re: Kappa 400 Below Table Dust Extraction + Kappa 400 Review
Mark,
Can you give us more colors about your reasoning of virtually going T60 instead of K940, or even T60 instead of Kappa 400 (basic no X motion). Price wise, as far as I know, a T60 with DRO is more comparable to a Kappa 400 basic.
Thanks,
Bill

I would remain patient with the seller. I think in time he will sell to you. Sometimes you need to let people test the market and become frustrated/educated on reality.?
What trunnion issue? Do you mean prior to the redesign in 2006-2008 to the double trunnion? I don¡¯t know if that¡¯s much of a flaw to be concerned about.?

45k CAD$ is 35K US$ based on the current exchange rate. I doubt Kappa 400 with the 12 foot sliding table would cost that much.
When I bought my KF700sp in 2016, I recall Kappa 400 was 30K+ CAD$ plus tax at that time.
