Re: Which wax paper to order?
Been there, tried it. The best wax paper is whatever is on sale and a great barrier and use it frequently but never had good luck protecting table tops. Instead I recommend using 1/8" hardboard, 1/8" or 3mm or 5mm flooring underlayment, or corrugated cardboard. The board products have strength, cushion, and abrasion resistance and generally will stay put. I always tore any kind of paper product in normal sliding and tool shuffling.?
If you want to go superstar for glueup pads, silicone mats are reusable and indestructible, but often not easy to find in sizes to fit certain tops. Last ones I bought it took 2 to cover the full surface of a festool mft/3 table.
Otherwise I've found regular cheapo kraft paper is great for everything not prone to tearing, with white paper masking tape as a supplement in critical zones or stitching pieces together. Shooting a little bit of aerosol shellac or lacquer does wonders also in places you think moisture might overcome the fibers or reusing the same spots and popping dried glue off.

Re: Digital Rip Fence mod on K500
Agree this is also a solution,
This bracket is definitively not a standard or easy part with the tools I have. Way beyond what I can produce.

Re: Which wax paper to order?
Whelp, at work I bought some of the McMaster wax paper for 3d prints that we dipped in a tub of Cyanoacrylate to seal them, we would dip them then rest them on ply plates with screws on top of the paper to keep it from dripping on everything.?
Not sure which version I bought but can check when I am back at work next week, so doesn¡¯t help you now but can tell you that it would be more than adequate for your use. I wouldn¡¯t buy anything from uline¡
I have been using builders paper mostly because I got it at the thrift store for a $1, it¡¯s cheap and works good enough for the glue drips

Re: Replacing drive belt for scoring blade on KF 700
Nevin,
Always good to have a first rate assistant - in the shop as well as in the OR.

Steve,?
Thanks for the advice. Tilting the saw arbor to 45 degrees improved access. Then I ran the belt over the scoring pully then the spring tensioned pulley below it, then back to the saw arbor & pulley. Still not enough slack, so while I reached thru the saw arbor space and pulled up on the tensioning pulley, my wife reached around the rear of the saw unit and slipped the belt over that pulley. Easy as pie. all I needed was that third hand!
Thanks everyone!

Re: Digital Rip Fence mod on K500
Looks like plenty of room to me, you nestle the read head into the pocket inside the casting. It might take a bit of playing about to come up with a bracket, but looks plenty doable to me.

Re: Digital Rip Fence mod on K500
Take some pictures of the fence housing on the bar so we can see what sort of room and position you need. Shouldn¡¯t be hard to come up with something.

Thanks,
After having cut the parts, drill holes in the housing fence, I realized that the fence is way way too small to use machine screws from inside to outside. Also the fence housing is way too close to the saw scale for the solution in the video. The sensor is bigger than the space you have between the housing and the saw scale.
It seems that the only way to mount the sensor is either under the actual fence or to the side of the housing using a custom made block to get everything dial in within the 1 mm margin as well as the 1 degree margin.
On this saw, it looks like the basic wixey solution attaching on the side is the easy way to go.
